whyen i follow this https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-wheezy-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 and then i follow the manual the installation will fail why ? it gets stuck at the command php -q install.php
something like php command not ........... i have a feeling i need to install alot more before running the installer
You just have to follwow the tutorial step by step, it installs all required packages. You seem to have left out at lesat the php installation chapter.

Try to copy / paste the exact file from the tutorial ncl. blank lines and all whitespaces to your server and ensure that the two other files are correct as well.
