ISPConfig On Ubuntu 6.10 Install Error

[The Savage Killer]

Hi there, im new to the forums and following the perfect guide for a Ubuntu 6.10 server, i got a problem with ISPConfig

I Think The Error Is In Configuring Apache, Since What I Understood From The Code In The Compile File, Its Set To Remove All Files On An Error

echo "ERROR: $1"
if [ -d ${INSTALL_ROOT} ]
then
rm -fr ${INSTALL_ROOT}
fi
if [ -d ${INSTALL_ROOT_TMP} ]
then
rm -fr ${INSTALL_ROOT_TMP}
fi
cd ${COMPILE_DIR}
rm -fr ${OPENSSL}
rm -fr ${APACHE}
rm -fr ${MOD_SSL}
rm -fr ${PHP}
rm -fr ${CLAMAV}
rm -fr ${CLAMASSASSIN}
rm -fr ${SPAMASSASSIN}
rm -fr ${UUDEVIEW}
rm -fr ${CRONOLOG}
rm -fr ${ZIP}
rm -fr ${UNZIP}
exit 1
}


Dont Take My Word For It, Im New To Linux, I Cant Survive Without A GUI :D

Any Help Appreciated, Thanks In Advance.

have a look at this thread http://howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7716

The following could be the cause of this, as I did the same installation and have no problems installing ISPConfig on my Ubuntu 6.10.
Ubuntu developers have replaced Bash with Dash, so the regular /bin/sh that is used to be linked to /bin/bash is now pointing to /bin/dash.

You can remove the /bin/sh and create a new link using:
rm /bin/sh (or if you want to be safe: mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.dash)
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

[The Savage Killer]

Thanks, that worked! :D

[mlz]

Really, if a shell script requires bash, it shouldn't be referring to #!/bin/sh but #!/bin/bash JMHO...

[martinfst]

No it requires /bin/sh. Based on how it's invoked, you'll get different options. It's only Ubuntu that made this change, which I think they should not have done. But hey, who am I? (no need to reply to this last question:D )

Thanks for your reply. Now, I am getting the following error message.

I installed php5. Is this not compatible with ispconfig ?

How do I install the mysql header files in under /usr?

Will appreciate your help!!

[till]

The mysql header files are a package from your linux distribution. Please have a look at the perfect setup guides that you find on the ISPConfig documentation page, it is all described there in detail for several linux distributions.

[kcmohan]

Thank you, Till. I followed the perfect setup and this time it worked. Much appreciate your prompt and timely help.
Cheers.
