ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system!

[max]

Hi Guys,

I had a working version of ispconfig. I saw the update, and could not resist the temptation to update the software.

I updated by running setup.

I am running fedora core 4 on an x86_64, using vsftp, sendmail and postfix.

The update encountered an error:

ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!

and my existing installation of ispconfig and the installation files have disappeared!

Running the setup again reproduces the error.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Max

You're on a 64-bit system which is not supported officially yet. You have to tweak the installer a little bit:

Before you try to install again, you should restore your old working ISPConfig. There are backups of /root/ispconfig and /home/admispconfig and also an SQL dump of the database in /tmp.

hi Falko,

There are no backups in /tmp ...

/home/admispconfig and the database (ispconfig) still exists.

What will break if i run the setup without the original /root/ispconfig directory being there.

If you run the the setup with the database in place, the setup will end up broken.

You can try to backup the database, make a fresh ISPConfig install with the same version to which the database belongs and then replace the newly installed database with your database backup.

Thanks Falko and Till,

It worked perfectly.

The only extra steps i needed was to remove the extra lines created by install process in /etc/httpd/conf/Vhosts/... file and restart mysql.

Thanks for your support,

I am setting ISPConfig up on a test system to get it working and see how I like it. I am a bit of a Linux newb so I will have to admit looking over stuff quite often.

I get the below error:

tar: aps.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Am I missing something because I went through http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge
step by step.

do I need to make some directories change permissions install php5 seperatly or something entirely different???

I guess you have tried to install ISPConfig more than once.
