Unintentionally deleted /root/ispconfig/

[AlArenal]

Hi!

I unintentionally deleted /root/ispconfig/ on one of my Debian Etch 64 Bit boxes. The automatic webserver restart did not work anymore, therefore I had to comment out the CustomLog entry in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to be able to start the web server.

I'm now curious what to do to get things going again. I downloaded ISPC again and began the install process, but stopped it immediately because it did not seem to recognize the current installation and I didn't want to further mess up my box.

May I just copy /root/ispconfig from another Debian Etch 64 Bit box or is there another way?

Please run:

mkdir /root/ispconfig

Then run the ISPConfig setup script from your fresh downloaded version, ISPConfig will perform a update then.

Thanks, Till!

But at the end of the install process I get:

Starting ftp server: proftpd - setting default address to 127.0.0.1
.

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch! Ihr ISPConfig-System ist jetzt installiert. Falls Sie Quota nachinstalliert haben, fuehren Sie noch die in der Installationsanleitung beschriebenen Schritte durch. Ansonsten ist Ihr System jetzt ohne Reboot einsatzbereit.

Trying to start ISPC manually I get:

I think it may have to do with a missing SSL certificate, that got deleted as well?

ISPConfig deletes the directory after the installation. You get this messages because you are in an non existing directory. Just type

cd

this should solve your problem.

ISPC just keeps on pretending it is running, but in fact, it is not.

srv002:~# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start
Starting ISPConfig system...
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

Okay, I got it!

Just had to tweak around a bit until I got a chance to run "make certificate" in ISPC's apache sources and had to insert the certificate files into the installation.

Finally I got it back up and runnning again
