Hello ISPConfig users! Is it possible to install, configure and connect ISPConfig for existing hosting environment? Let's say that there are already configured and running mail, DNS, web and database servers and I'd like to install ISPConfig to manage those. Can we do that or ISPConfig has to be always installed from scratch altogether with services, which are going to be managed?
Thank you for reply. Do you know any other open source panel which allows configuration for existing hosting environment?
As far as I know, all Hosting Control panels use their own specific configuration and will not import any third party custom config, so you can not use any of them on a server that hosts already websites. The only software which might work (but is not a hosting control panel) is webmin.
Could you please advise if there are any import mechanisms or batch updates in ISPConfig? Is there any possibility that after fresh install of ISPConfig admin can migrate configuration data for complex web hosting environment (multiple sites, mailboxes, users etc.) or has to do it manually via web panel?
with API you can do a "import". If you are able to create a script that will use API to create etc. all mail users, then you can import their mail data to mail folder afterwards.
