    Hi,

    I read through one of the tutorials (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3) but I don't want to just follow it blindly. I was wondering what should happen if I just ran the ISPConfig installation on a server with just Apache2 and MYSQL installed? What are the packages that HAVE TO be installed before ISPConfig?

    In my testing with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS the install seems to complete but then the page does not load, I just get a "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error, although all the permissions look ok to me.

    /var/log/apache2/error.log shows:
    [Sat Aug 10 22:44:01 2013] [error] [client 192.168.0.14] client denied by server configuration: /etc/apache2/htdocs

    This is not a production machine so I can restore it to pre-ISPConfig state at any time.

    Thanks for any help.

    I will not work as your server does not match the system requirements to install ISPConfig.

    the packages that are described in the perfect setup guides are the system requirements for ispconfig. If you skip packages from this guide, ispconfig will just work partially.

    But does it not output an error or fail the install? Below is the last part of the install when I run it with just Apache/Open-SSH/MYSQL/Postfix.

    Code:
    ...
    Do you want a secure (SSL) connection to the ISPConfig web interface (y,n) [y]: n
    
    Configuring DBServer
    Installing ISPConfig crontab
    no crontab for getmail
    Restarting services ...
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service mysql restart
    
    Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
    Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
    e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available.
    mysql stop/waiting
    mysql start/running, process 2121
     * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix
       ...done.
     * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix
       ...done.
     * Restarting web server apache2
    [Sat Aug 10 22:03:11 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts
    [Sat Aug 10 22:03:11 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
    [Sat Aug 10 22:03:12 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts
    [Sat Aug 10 22:03:12 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
     ... waiting    ...done.
    Installation completed.

    No, it will just not work if you did not follow the installation instructions for ispconfig.

    It's like you are going to use Windows without drivers for your hardware... It WILL work, but your sound/video/keyboard will not work.
