Hello, I am working to abandon Webmin for ISPConfig since Webmin mangled my Postifx/Dovecot installation and like an idiot, I didn't have a back up of the setup. So I am starting from scratch rebuilding the mail system and it looked like ISPConfig has some potential to help me manage a few dozen customers on my Dedicated CentOS 5.11 64 Bit server. It has 1 TB of HD and 16GB of RAM. I have followed the procedures outlined in the tutorial found here: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.10-x86_64-ispconfig-3 Everything went fine until I needed to install php-eaccelerator Code: The message I get is: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-eaccelerator.x86_64 1:0.9.5.2-2.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: php-zend-abi = 20050922 for package: php-eaccelerator --> Finished Dependency Resolution 1:php-eaccelerator-0.9.5.2-2.el5.x86_64 from epel has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: php-zend-abi = 20050922 is needed by package 1:php-eaccelerator-0.9.5.2-2.el5.x86_64 (epel) Error: Missing Dependency: php-zend-abi = 20050922 is needed by package 1:php-eaccelerator-0.9.5.2-2.el5.x86_64 (epel) I ran- yum install php-zend-abi and I get: Code: Setting up Install Process Package php-common-5.4.38-1.el5.remi.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do So, I found the RPM of php-eaccelerator and tried to install from there, but get the following: Code: rpm -ivh php-eaccelerator-5.1.6_0.9.5.2-4.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: php = 5.1.6 is needed by php-eaccelerator-5.1.6_0.9.5.2-4.el5.rf.x86_64 My PHP Version => 5.4.38 Moving on, My next error was in the Dovecot-Sieve installation: Code: Finished Dependency Resolution 1:dovecot-sieve-0.1.19-9.1.el5.x86_64 from atrpms has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: dovecot >= 1.2 is needed by package 1:dovecot-sieve-0.1.19-9.1.el5.x86_64 (atrpms) Error: Missing Dependency: dovecot >= 1.2 is needed by package 1:dovecot-sieve-0.1.19-9.1.el5.x86_64 (atrpms) My Dovecot Version that was installed from this procedure is is dovecot-1.0.7-9.el5_11.4.x86_64 I was able to complete all of the other steps, until the last one which is the installation of ISPConfig 3 and I suppose the failure of these items I listed above could in fact be causing ISPConfig to fail, because when I get to selection of the character set for the MySQL db, I get the following message: >MySQL charset [utf8]: >ERROR: Unable to load SQL-Dump into database table. & the install script exits. I'm pretty much stuck at this point and I hope someone will have a simple fix for this situation. Thanks in advance for your help!

Why do you use such a old Centos version? I highly recommend that you switch to a recent version like Centos 7.
CentOS 5.11 is the version that came installed on the server I am renting, I asked for 6.5, but the admins said they did not support that version on my server.... Is it possible to do an upgrade to a newer version of the OS without breaking my current setup? This is a production server. Thanks!
After further research, It looks like I will have to migrate my customers to another server so a clean install of CentOS 7 can be performed. I cannot afford to do this at this time. Is there any way to make ISPConfig work with my current setup? Or am I stuck with Webmin?
ISPConfig is working on Centos 5.11 but I wont use it on such a old distribution as all software on Centos 5.11 is really old and centos 5 is end of life soon. ISPConfig shall not be installed on a server that hosts already websites as the setup requires a clean system and ispconfig will not be able to read in your current web or mail setup if it was created with webmin. If I understand you correctly, your server hosts already sites or mail accounts and is used already in production?
Yes, that is correct. I already serve websites from this machine. The mail is not working because of the Webmin problem I mentioned earlier .
Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this. Now I see that I need a fresh system to install on, migration is not possible. Oh well.....
