install problem

[flourishing]

my system is rhel 4 . and first step err report that :

./setup
RedHat Enterprise.0
ERROR: Ihr Betriebssystem wird nicht unterst黷zt! / Your operating system is not supported! / Votre systeme d'exploitation n'est pas support?

what can i do?

We've never tested ISPConfig on RHEL 4 so it's not supported officially. But since CentOS 4.1 and 4.2 are supported I guess RHEL 4 should work as well.
Basically, ISPConfig checks the file /etc/redhat-release to find out the RedHat version. You have to modify the files setup1, dist.txt and the files in the mod directory after you've unpacked the ISPConfig source tarball.

setup1 is used to find out the distribution and version and builds some kind of string (e.g. rhat90, fedora40, centos42, etc.) that is used to extract the needed information from dist.txt and the files in the mod directory.

can you tell me how to modify the setup1 and the other files to make ispconfig can be installed in rhel 4? thank you .

and cat /etc/redhat-release ====

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant)

how to modify setup1 and the other files ? thank you very much.

In setup1 you can replace

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] && [ ! -h  /etc/redhat-release ]; then
   version=`cat /etc/redhat-release | cut -f5 -d' '`
   if [ -n '$version' ]; then
     version=`cat /etc/redhat-release | cut -f3 -d' '`
   fi
   echo $version | grep \\. &> /dev/null
   if [ $? != 0 ]; then
     version=`echo $version.0`
   fi
   if [ "`cat /etc/redhat-release | cut -f1 -d' '`" == "CentOS" ]; then
     distversion=`echo CentOS $version`
     echo $distversion
     distvers=centos${version//./}
   else
     distversion=`echo RedHat $version`
     echo $distversion
     distvers=rhat${version//./}
   fi
   echo dist=$distvers '##' > dist.info.tmp
   grep -i $distvers dist.txt >> dist.info.tmp
   cp -f dist.info.tmp dist.info
   VAR1=`cat dist.info.tmp | cut -f1 -d=`
   for var1 in $VAR1
   do
     echo export $var1 >> dist.info.ende
   done
   cat dist.info.ende >> dist.info.tmp
   rm -f dist.info.ende
fi

with

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] && [ ! -h  /etc/redhat-release ]; then
    version=`cat /etc/redhat-release | cut -f7 -d' '`
   echo $version | grep \\. &> /dev/null
   if [ $? != 0 ]; then
     version=`echo $version.0`
   fi
   distversion=`echo RHEL $version`
   echo $distversion
   distvers=rhel${version//./}
   echo dist=$distvers '##' > dist.info.tmp
   grep -i $distvers dist.txt >> dist.info.tmp
   cp -f dist.info.tmp dist.info
   VAR1=`cat dist.info.tmp | cut -f1 -d=`
   for var1 in $VAR1
   do
     echo export $var1 >> dist.info.ende
   done
   cat dist.info.ende >> dist.info.tmp
   rm -f dist.info.ende
fi

In dist.txt and the files in mod, copy the section for centos42 and paste it at the end of each file, and replace centos42 with rhel40 in the pasted part. Unless CentOS 4.2 uses totally different settings/paths, this will work for RHEL 4.0.

configure: error: The installed zlib version may contain a security bug. Please upgrade to 1.2.2 or later: http://www.zlib.net. You can omit this check with --disable-zlib-vcheck but DO NOT REPORT any stability issues then!
