How to set up Postfix on ISPConfig?

Hey y'all,

Uhm I am running CentOS 5.2 to start with.
Anyway, I have also a e107 website up and running for 99 %....
The 1 % is like the problem; I can not get Postfix to run.
Can anyone give me a tutorial in how-to-set-up Postfix to send automails?
(Like the activationmail in e107 and other php mail() based e-mails...)
I'd like to know how it works...
(I am like 15 (16 at the 9th coming ) which means that I ain't that experienced regarding hosting...)

Thanks in advance.

 

Yeah, I have already read that, but I don't have a (Remote) Desktop.
CentOS 5.2 is running on a VPS and the only thing I have is SSH, FTP and root access.

How to do it with this?

 

You can do it through SSH (from page 3 on - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2-p3 - your base system is already installed).

 

Uhm, I already have a CentOS 5.2 system running like you said before, also there is ISPConfig installed already.
Now:
1) The "vi" command doesn't work, how to fix that?
2) /etc/hosts does not exist - also a fix please.

Thanks in advance.

P.S: Output from "ifconfig" is:

Code:

Try

Code:

yum install vim

Which virtualization technique (Xen, OpenVZ, VMware, etc.) are you using? I guess that with some virtualization techniques, the guests don't come with an /etc/hosts file.
