Ok, so I've done an install of ispconfig on an opensuse installation and have noticed a few things that need changed in perfectsetup guide: To install proftpd you also need package: libcap, libcap-devel Also comment "UseIPV6 off" or proftpd wont start since there is by default no ipv6 support in tat perfectsetup. Pretty silly that proftpd refuses to start cause ipv6 isnt available, when telling it NOT to use it ISPconfig setup script also has one issue at compile: OpenSSL library fix for openssl sources. Go to compile_apps , unpack openssl-0.9.7m.tar.gz edit Configure and Makefile and change all instances of -m486 to -mtune=i486 . Run "tar -pczf openssl-0.9.7m.tar.gz openssl-0.9.7m" to repack dir, remove the unpacked directory. now run ./setup as normal. Credits to the following threads: SSL fix - http://www.howtoforge.org/forums/showthread.php?p=135544 Proftpd fix - http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24649&highlight=proftpd+opensuse
Seems this issue also affects unstable/testing versions of debian where deprecated use of -m486 is replaced.
I've fixed this in the tutorial. I've installed ISPConfig on OpenSUSE 11, i386 and x86_64, and had no problems at all (i.e., I couldn't reproduce this). What processor are you using?
