Here's what happened. I was innocently minding my own business, installing ISPConfig, when I was prompted for my internet address right after the MySQL configuration. I typed it wrong and it complained about not being able to find the adress and aborted. Being the good end-user that I am, I deleted the whole install-ispconfig folder, and started again. Now, during compilation, I get the following: " [complains about uuencode.c having "pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ differ in signedness"] gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.5\" -DPATCH=\"20\" uuscan.c gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.5\" -DPATCH=\"20\" uustring.c gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.5\" -DPATCH=\"20\" fptools.c gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.5\" -DPATCH=\"20\" crc32.c rm -f libuu.a ar r libuu.a uulib.o uucheck.o uunconc.o uuutil.o uuencode.o uuscan.o uustring.o fptools.o crc32.o ar: creating libuu.a ranlib libuu.a make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Max/install_ispconfig/compile_aps/uudeview-0.5.20/uulib' (cd unix ;

Your ISPConfig system is now installed. If you had to install quota, please take the steps described in the installation manual. Otherwise your system is now available without reboot. [root@apache install_ispconfig]# /root/ispconfig/uninstall -bash: /root/ispconfig/uninstall: No such file or directory " loong error. I just want to know how I can put everything back to the way it was before I tried to install this thing. In the meantime, I will delete/start over one more time; it can't hurt to try.
It seems you have not deleted all directories after yoir previous failed installation. Please delete: rm -rf /home/admispconfig rm -rf /root/ispconfig Then delete the folder with the name you chose for the ISPConfig database in /var/lib/mysql/ if it exists. Then delete the folder install_ispconfig, unpack the installer tar.gz again and run the setup script.
Ah, very good. That worked nicely. Unfortunately, now I can't connect to it. Firefox complains of a bad ssl certificate. I am just using this for personal use, and won't be using it from outside my home LAN. Is there a way to switch it to non-SSL after the install? Or an easy way to remake/repair my "corrupted" certificates?
