ISPConfig3 on Rocky Linux 9?

Is this a thing anyone has tested yet? I did a search, and nothing Rockly Linux 9 came up - just RL8 references. I'm thinking about building a new server, migrating 2 old servers to this new server, and wondered if I should just start with RL9 or not. I'm setting up a RL9 server for some testing for other stuff, so I'll get a taste of it, but wondered if anyone had found something that was a deal breaker related to ISPConfig3.

Thanks.

 

ISPConfig is currently not compatible with RHEL 9 (incl. Alma, Rocky etc.), but should be soon.

 

thank you for the update. could you point out the location where this is mentioned (if there is one?), so i can keep tabs on it.

thanks - left a couple notes on my experience from today. for the record, I used the Perfect CentOS 8 Server instructions (skipping over sections 5-13, 15-18, 20-end, as I wasn't interested in all that just yet - just after a base server to do some SSH testing on). The only instruction I could not get to work was enabling "powertools" - said "Error: No matching repo to modify: powertools". other than that, I have a base server with most of the prereqs installed that's operational.

 

for anyone that's watching this with higher powers, i just noticed that the page https://www.ispconfig.org/documentation/ doesn't list the Perfect Server CentOS 8 option. it can be found here: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig/

 

going to add this here, in case it's something that needs to be addressed in the Perfect Server guides for EL9-based setups or reported to Rocky Linux directly (?):

I see the following message while the pure-ftpd scriptlet (and other scriptplets later) runs during installation - not sure if it's pure-ftpd specific, or RL9 specific:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.local not marked executable, skipping

I'm assuming it's a permissions thing on that file because:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root ... /etc/rc.d/rc.local

it appears it should be -rwxr-xr-x because the first line of the file is

Code:

#!/bin/bash

and the only non-comment line of the file is

Code:

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

that's what I know.

 

I posted about the rc.local "skipping" message on the RL9 forums, and got a quick response.
The rc.local is a backwards compatible file for RPMs that don't use systemd (which CentOS >7 does [I learned this today, i'm not proud]) so the "skipping" message is just pure-ftpd stating that because it's not executable, it must be a systemd-based system, and it's not going to use the rc.local file for startup configuration. I took it as an error message, it just informational really.
TLDR; ignore it, move on.

 

just wondering if there's been any progress on RHEL9-based integration with ISPConfig? I'm going to set up another new box fully this time, but thought I'd ask just in case someone else found something else I should know about. Still testing, just more indepth needs this time.

 

following the PerfectServer 8 instructions to install Rocky 9.1, found this issue:
section 4:

Code:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

this command yields "Error: No matching repo to modify: powertools."
command needs to be

Code:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

PowerTools is now called crb in v9

 

following the PerfectServer 8 instructions to install Rocky 9.1, found this issue:
section 6:

Code:

service httpd restart

should be changed to (same for any other "service" commands):

Code:

systemctl restart httpd.service

 

following the PerfectServer 8 instructions to install Rocky 9.1, found this issue:
section 9: (getmail/python2)
there is no python2 package for v9, but I did find a reference to a way to do it here:
https://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/documentation.html#python3
which is explained here

the prompts for this section have changed - this should be reviewed and updated for v9

and it now spews an error not related to github (per the Perfect Server 8 instructions) - error is:

following the PerfectServer 8 instructions to install Rocky 9.1, found this issue:
section 14:
pure-ftp installed fine, but starting it yielded this error:

Code:

pure-ftpd-init.service: Main process exited, status=17/n/a

trying a start and then a restart again yielded no error messages.
after installing openssl without issue, then restarting pure-ftpd returned the following error:

Code:

Job for pure-ftpd.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status pure-ftpd.service" and "journalctl -xeu pure-ftpd.service" for details.

looks like:

Code:

Can't open PID file /run/pure-ftpd.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted
: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, but that file doesn't exist: [/etc/pki/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.pem]
-ftpd.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.
-ftpd.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

 

Thanks but can you please use [ code ] [ /code ] for code (without space in [ ]) in all the above posts as it will make it more readable.

 

done, as requested
