    During the Howto, I encountered an error:

    Code:
    +--------------------------------------------------------+
    | You now have successfully built and installed the      |
    | Apache 1.3 HTTP server. To verify that Apache actually |
    | works correctly you now should first check the         |
    | (initially created or preserved) configuration files   |
    |                                                        |
    |   /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    |                                                        |
    | and then you should be able to immediately fire up     |
    | Apache the first time by running:                      |
    |                                                        |
    |   /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl start
    |                                                        |
    | Or when you want to run it with SSL enabled use:       |
    |                                                        |
    |   /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl
    |                                                        |
    | Thanks for using Apache.       The Apache Group        |

    ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!
    
    After installing flex:
    Code:
    yum -y install flex
    I gave it another try and...
    Code:
    Congratulations! Your ISPConfig system is now installed.
    So, I guess the tutorial needs to be updated, because without "flex" configuring PHP is not going to happen on CentOS 4.2 and 4.3.

    ps I'm using an updated CentOS 4.2 x86_64, but ISPConfig reconizes it as CentOS 4.3.

    OOPS.. major screw-up!!! ...i'm such an ass!

    flex was missing on my system, because I installed a minimal system. During the installation of CentOS i always choose "Minimal" to get a lean clean machine!:p

    After that I build the system peace by peace... and because of that, flex is not installed from the get go...

    I usually have my own notes, on how I install my systems... and forgot to look at them before I started this thread.

    Sorry for this mistake... CASE CLOSE (he said in shame):eek:
