ISPConfig 3.0.0.5 Beta Released

[Ben]

I think Snowman is absolutely right. But that's always the thing with this DB supported stuff.
If I take a look at "enterprise" DNS solutions like Vital QIP from Lucent, the also manage their core data in a database but generate the bind configfiles based on that.

So it would sense here to either change the dns implementation or make it mandatory for services splitted off from the frontend that require the database to automatically configure a slave DB there as well.

It is absolutely fault tolerant if you configure mysql accordingly. Thats all a question of system configuration. ISPConfig is just a contral panel, the overall system is a s good as the base services are installed.

This is possible with ispconfig as well, just someone had to write a plugin for ispconfig to support bind too.

When DNS server will be as service down. DNS record will not be distributed.
When Frontend server will be down also DNS record will not be distributed.

Dont you think it will be great if DNS server will be devided from frontend as database but it can be managed from frontend.
I hope we understand each other .. my eng. is not good as i want to .

Have a nice day,

Please read my full post, its absolutely fault tolerant. It just does not make sense to write the same function again that is already included in mysql. You will just have to configure your server correctly for fault tolerance.

[till]

By the way, there is also one additional function in ispconfig that might be used for fault tolerance, the datalog. It allows the replication of every database change that is made in the interface for selected database tables to other databases. But this feature has not been tested that much and it does not run via cron yet.

I will get back one that after my holiday on thinking about writing a plugin for bind support.
Are there already any docs for the plugin API, so maybe I may take a look on that already during my holiday

I hope you are not angry to me, I like ispconfig as much as i can for me its super and helpfull its great panel.
I just wanted to test ISPC3. But I hope there will be mysql SSL support in howto install file included. Because without it ISPC3 will not be secure as it is until now.(I want to test it and recompile mysql to support ssl,I can add it to HOWTOINSTALL then or write how to for howtoforge)

Hi all!
I'm testing ISP Config 2.2.23 at the moment.
As I see it will be hard to upgrade working server to 3.x, so I might wait until stable 3.x version is released.
Are there any plans when this will be?
Is anywhere a list of the 3.x specs or differences with 2.x?

Thank you.

Not at all

But I hope there will be mysql SSL support in howto install file included.

I will try to research on how to recompile the packages with SSL in a proper way for debian and add it to the installation instructions. If you have any success with it, please post the steps that you used to recompile it.

There is no fixed release date yet. But the code is relatively stable already, so it wont tkae that long anymore.

No, nothing except the several posts here in different forum threads.

I'm reading the install instructions for version 3 on Debian ant it says

apt-get install squirrelmail
ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/ /var/www/webmail

Access squirrelmail:

http://192.168.0.100/webmail

To configure squirrelmail, run:

/usr/sbin/squirrelmail-configure

Is this the only supported webmail?
