My installation of ISPConfig on Ubuntu 6.06 TLS went without a hitch until I reached the 'questionaire' at the end. As I hadn't at that point set any passwords following the MySQL installation I broke the ISPConfig installation to do that, but then couldn't get back into, or find anyway of re-starting, the ISPConfig installation. So I did a re-install - as though it was an update, but again there doesn't seem to be any way of redoing the config file even though there isn't one for the install to utilise, vis:- ...... cc -o unzipsfx unzipsfx.o crc32.o crctab_.o crypt_.o extract_.o fileio_.o globals_.o inflate_.o match_.o process_.o ttyio_.o unix_.o -s All prerequisites are fulfilled.

Or must I completely erase the failed installation and start again? Thanks.
Run: rm -rf /root/ispconfig rm -rf /home/admispconfig and delete the ISPConfig database if it exists, then then try to install again.
Thanks for that Till, everything went swimmingly this time, installation successfully concluded, as per: *********************** ....

Looks as if your SSL cert is broken. maynbe you entered invalid values during setup. To recreate the SSL certificate, have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=358&postcount=4
Thanks, thanks, thanks Till. Advice actioned and ISPConfig fully functional in ten minutes. Spent the next ten hours reading up on what I did and why.
