Hi, I know it is described, and it should be very simple, but whenever I enter the command Code: ispconfig_update.sh I get the message Code: command not found I have to change to /usr/local/bin in order to issue the command. How can I make sure that the command runs from any place? Or should it always be run from within /usr/local/bin? Then this should be part of the tutorial (https://www.faqforge.com/linux/controlpanels/ispconfig3/how-to-update-ispconfig-3/).
You don't have to be in any special directory as its in the search path. so no matter in which directory you are, just type ispconfig_update.sh. If that's not possible e.g. because you removed the script or your server is not installed properly, then you can use this procedure: Code: cd /tmp wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.1.14p2.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.1.14p2.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install php -q update.php
The script is in /usr/local/bin/ and this folder is normally in the search path. Check if the script is there. If that's the case and it is still not found when you try to run it without using the full path, then you probably altered the PATH variable of your root user to not contain /usr/local/bin/
I checked, the script is there, but I can only execute it from within the folder using Code: ./ispconfig_update.sh Sorry for the following question, but I tend to forget the simple things: how would I check the PATH variable and how do I add the path /usr/local/bin?
You can execute the command from anywhere using full pathname, like so: Code: /usr/local/bin//ispconfig_update.sh Code: # echo $PATH Since I do not know what operating system is involved, I can not give exact advice. Also, I do not know what shell that root user is using. But I would say /usr/local/bin was originally in PATH, so it must have been removed after installation. Try finding out what shell root uses by Code: echo $SHELL Assuming shell is bash, you could try your luck with following commands. Otherwise, adapt to the shell you are using. Code: # cd ; grep PATH .bashrc .profile If PATH is not set there, try Code: # ls -lh /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/* to see what files you have and examine if PATH is set there. If you have forgotten this kind of knowledge about Unix and Linux, get a good book or website as reference material. I learned my Unix and Linux from Sobells "Practical Guide to Unix" and "Practical Guide to Linux".
With the double slash? ok, /usr/local/bin is not part of it. That would be CentOS 7.6, shell is running bash. the file .profile isn't found. There is /etc/bashrc, the file /etc/profile seems to be the same or at least similar, but I can't tell if the PATH is set there. It checks the path, and it executes some "pathmunge" command, but I'm not sure if that has any effect. Thanks for the hint. We have just moved and are still sitting between boxes and stuff, so my mind is probably not really set for this right now. It takes a little time to get into it again (and the Linux guide will be on my desk).
