First off that you for the great site and awesome tutorials! Here is what I have done. 1. Followed the The Perfect Setup - OpenSuSE 10.2 (32-bit) - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_opensuse_10.2 install tutorial completely (with no problems) 2. I go to install ISPConfig and it fails right away ISPConfig logs: Sun Mar 11 23:25:43 PDT 2007 - [ISPConfig] - installation mode: expert Sun Mar 11 23:25:43 PDT 2007 - [ISPConfig] - ERROR: Your system configuration is not compatible with ISPConfig!

Have you run the installer as root user and not with sudo? Did you use the SuSE postfix package? Do you have enough space on your harddisk?
I reinstalled suse 10.2 32bit version and then i had no problems installing ispconfig. Knowing me I may have missed a step in the "perfect" setup due to lack of sleep. Its all good now (well for the moment that is)
ok, i reinstalled suse on a different box (not a vm) that i want to use for a production box. I double checked my install (well i used a network install over the net this time) for the perfect suse 10.2 32 bit install and the same error happened. I noticed when I run SuSEconfig i do receive the following worning: Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix... *** WARNING *** Found /etc/postfix/master.cf.SuSEconfig, exiting... *** WARNING *** I moved both master.cf.SuSEconfig and main.cf.SuSEconfig to another directory and and the error still happens: ########## MAIL SERVER ########## Checking for MTA... ls: cannot access mod/mail/: No such file or directory ERROR: Your system configuration is not compatible with ISPConfig!

How do know I am using the SuSE postfix package and if so how do I change this if I need to? Thanks!

This is the normal behaviour on SuSE, nothing to worry about. Run Code: yast and search for the package postfix. It will tell you then if it is installed or not.
weird thing is postfix is installed. I can telnet to the local box and i can reload the config, stop and start the postfix service as well. I have the same issue when I installed debian last night (when you install postfix in debian it removes exim automatically when using apt-get) and went to run the ispconfig install (debian is installed on that box now, i can reinstall suse tonight or tomorrow again and re test this).
