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

[xinefnarg]

Hi, i'm trying to install ISPConfig in an Ubuntu 5.10 installation on 32 bits intel arch, with all the current updates, and followed the howto, but the result is what I post below (it fails after making php's install or something around)

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, the directory where I unpacked the ispconfig tarball is gone (I copied the tarball in /root/ispconfig then /root/ispconfig is deleted with it's content)
I tried removing the commands that remove the directories in compile_aps/compile and found that the php binary that ispconfig's installation tries to use later on is symlinked to nowhere, and thus it fails in the line showed above.

I would appreciate any help.
Thanx!

There must be some errors in the output while php is compiled. Please post these errors here.

The install_ispconfig direcorie must be deleted. If you run the setup twice without deleting the directory, it will fail!

No errors while making, make finishes cleanly and after install also finishes cleanly those errors appear.

Yes, i did that, however i found what was happening.
I created a /root/ispconfig directory and copied the tarball there. Then, i unpacked the tarball (so a /root/ispconfig/install_ispconfig directory was created with the installation files inside) and then ran setup. However, ispconfig installation assumes a /root/ispconfig directory where to install everything, so the script failed as it didn't check if that directory already existed prior to installation.
I used a /root/ispc directory instead, and then everytning went fine and working ok!

Regards!
