Fresh Install

I started a install of ISPConfig 2 following the The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10) [ISPConfig 2]

everything went smoothly until I ran into installing ispconfig itself. for the past 30 mins it is sitting on Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5/sql and hasn't move. I'm afraid it's hung up.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to start over... Can anyone help me?

Do I just need to restart the isp install or does it have to start from the beginning..

If that's the case I'm going to write a install file to do all of the instructions for me without having to type it all in again..

 

Please press ENTER.

 

I'm having the exact same problem, and when I click ENTER, it just advances a line and does nothing more. Now its still stuck there on Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5/sql, and the cursor is solid one line beneath where it was before I clicked ENTER. Help please!!!!

Ive gone through so much to install everything!

 

And just for clarification I have followed all the steps of setting up ISPConfig 2 the Perfect Server Guide for Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Server.


So again, where do I go from here. Do I have to scrap the installation and start the whole project again, including installing everything for the server or can I fix what is not working here and try to re-install ISPConfig2?

 

Are there any errors/warnings in the ISPConfig installation log in the /var/log/ directory?

 

Checked the log files for install_ispconfig and everything seems OK in there ...

I also went ahead and installed the server from scratch using your guide and the same problem happens, it just freezes on that last line about SpamAssassin.

 

Well, I am not prone to giving up . . . and it seems in this case that was very helpful.

At first I had planned on going ahead and just putting my wordpress site up without ISPConfig, just using the command line, so I uncommented php from /etc/mime.types

Then I decided to give the install one more chance . . . . and it worked. Installed all the way. So, perhaps, php5 is needed for the install?


EDIT: Referring to step 17.1 Disable PHP Globally.

No, the installer uses its own PHP interpreter.

 

Well then the only other thing that was different is that previous times I had FTP'ed up and untarred and tried to install from /home/user/ftp/install_ispconfig and this time I moved the directory to /tmp/install_ispconfig.

Those are absolutely the only two things that I did differently.

 

Hm, strange... Maybe it was a problem with the size of your partitions? What's the output of

Code:

df -h

?

 

And as for me enabling php in /etc/mime.types . . . . that had nothing to do with it, you were correct. I checked the /etc/mime.types after installation and the installation had commented them all out as "#ISPCONFIG INSTALLATION#

 

Install Problem

I encountered the same problem.. when installing the ispconfig from the /tmp directory... however.. I change my /home/usrname directory to install.., it went through fine ..

 

Well, the size of your partitions is ok, so that was not the problem. I have no idea...
