This has been frustrating to say the least. Can someone please shed some light on a solution to the discovered issues? Thanks.
It is not yet stable (still in beta) as you can read from that thread and it is also expected to cause some problems due to that. Support or report should also be posted in the same thread so the respective Developer may do some fixing, if needed.
The auto-installer you used is the official one, but it's still in beta as mentioned on the page. The main problem with auto-installers is that the base systems of different providers are varying a lot. I used it last week on Debian 10 Hetzner base image and it worked fine incl. command chaining except that it did not recognizes PHP 7.4 yet which caused some issues. Also, git is not required as a prerequisite, the reason that you needed it was that you did not run and download the auto-installer in the intended way, which is e.g.: Code: wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --use-amavis I'll add your notes to the issue tracker. The official and recommended way to install ISPConfig on Ubuntu 18.04 is this one: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ and for Debian 9: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...-9-stretch-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/
