Ubuntu Installation Fails - ISPConfig

[mateo107]

Hi...

I'm trying to run ISPConfig Installation for Ubuntu 5.1.0. I've run through the "installation script", following it percisely. The only problem is, I'm not getting an error when it gets to the PHP/Apache section of the installer, and it gives me an error that it won't work with my version of PHP.

How do I completely remove the Apache/PHP support and then reinstall?

First of all the errors you see refer to the Apache and PHP that come with ISPconfig, not to your main Apache and PHP. ISPConfig comes with its own Apache and PHP that serve the ISPConfig web interface on port 81 - it has nothing to do with your main Apache and PHP, and you must not remove them as they are requirements for ISPConfig!

Can you post the exact error messages you get?

the error appears to be stemming from this line:

./setup2: line 777: ispconfig_tmp/php/bin/php: No such file or directory
ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!

I've trapped as much of the installation errors that occur up to this point, where it then fails out, into the attached TXT file. Also, this occurs AFTER steps 6,7,8, where I appear to successfully create the RSA security certificates/keys.

I'm VERY new to UBUNTU and Unix/Linux... so any/all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Please install flex (yes, with an f at the beginning):

apt-get install flex

and try again.

I get this error when I try to run the flex install

Any ideas how to fix this?

This looks like a nameserver problem.

Please try to run:

apt-get update

If you get similar errors, please check if your network connection to the internet is working and if the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf are correct and reachable from your server.
