I believe i completed the "Perfect" Ubuntu Server setup HowTo and followed that with the ISPConfig Howto. There were problems with unstated details like development packages I needed to install which were not explicitly mentioned but eventually the install seemed to continue almost to the end with the following information, something about a password of "YES" seems to start the problem. After this I can not log into ISPConfig with "admin" "admin". Any Ideas? I think my root password, which contained the characters "!@#$" may have conflicted with the shell script. Any Ideas how I can continue from here, or do I need to reformat and start over? Thanks.

Did you create a database manually in MySQL that you used for the ISPConfig installation? Does your mysql root password contains special chars?
No I did not manually create any database. I was following the ISPConfig installation instructions and I don't think there was a step to manually create any database. My MySQL root password is the same root password that I mentioned below. It contains the characters "!@#$". Is the MySQL root user not the same root user of the whole machine? Thanks, Cla.
That's the problem. It must not contain special characters. Please change it and delete /root/ispconfig and /home/admispconfig, then install ISPConfig again.
Closer perhaps, but still no joy. It gets further now, it does not have an error connecting or accessing the MySQL server. It still shows the PHP error in line 47 of /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.inc.php as directed .. I erased the two directories. I believe I changed the MySQL root password to something with only letters and numbers. It seems that there are 2 users or passwords that had to be changed, one without and one with the host name specified, similar to the following from the "perfect ubuntu setup" howto: mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword Now the ISPConfig install proceeds without apparent error right to the end where it has a PHP error in line 47. When I try to login to ISPConfig with Admin Admin it tells me "ERROR 101: wrong username or password". Here is a copy from the last of the install showing the error: Connected successfully to MySQL server Es ist schon eine Datenbank mit dem Namen db_ispconfig vorhanden!

Have you deleted the ISPConfig mysql database too before you reinstalled. If there is a mysql database with the same name that you entered in the ISPConfig installer, the setup will fail.
You guys are great!! till / falco: MANY THANKS! ISPConfig now seems to be up and running ... Now all I've got to do is figure out how to use it!! Thanks again, Cla.
