Very Basic Newbie...

Hi all,


I'm very new to linuix And ISPconfig.
I followed the perfect setup for ubuntu 7.0.4

I now need to install ispconfig. I have read the help file and it says i have to download the file.

I'm a windows man... wanting to convert. I can only download by clicking, not using the command lines of linux.

Can you help...

 

Go here, and scrolldown about 1/3rd. You will see Installation.

Basically, you will need to make a SSH connection with your server, and download the file into the /tmp dir (make sure that you are the ROOT user).
To change into the /tmp dir use this command:

Code:

cd /tmp

Now you need to download the ISPconfig install file.
Use the following command:

Code:

wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ispconfig/ISPConfig-2.2.13.tar.gz

When done downloading, you will need to untar (like winzip/winrar) the file.
Use this command:

Code:

tar xvfz ISPConfig-2.2.13.tar.gz

Now you will need to step into the dirctory.
Do so with:

Code:

cd install_ispconfig

After that you can start the installation with:

Code:

./setup

Have fun, and good luck!

 

SSH Connection??

Do i use the same putty program as in the perfect setup?

 

Yes you do.

 

Thanks a mil Edge.

Will get it working now.... i hope

 

how long does the installation take approx??

 

It depends a lot on howfast your system is.
For me about 10 minutes.

One more small thing: Make sure you select NO (as suggested in the install howto) at step 7 ("Encrypting RSA private key of CA with a pass phrase for security [ca.key]") and step 8 ("Encrypting RSA private key of SERVER with a pass phrase for security [server.key]")

 

Hey Edge,

Do you get different themes for ISPConfig?

 

No. ISPconfig does only have one theme. Feel free to make a new one if you like.

 

Hi, another very newbie to linux,I've managed to install debian etch and my ispconfig is some what working, I can access it via ip address but gets the page can not be displayed when I use the url, what have I done wrong? I can not access xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/webmail/ or xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/phpmyadmin/ aswell.

I've got a number of questions but I prefer asking one step at a time.

Thanks in advance

 

Please make sure that your domain points to the correct IP address. If your ISPConfig server is behind a router, the domain must point to the router's public IP address, and you must forward port 81 from your router to your ISPConfig server.
