http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/documentation/

or in the text files (named INSTALL_*.txt) which are inside the docs folder of the .tar.gz file.


Update
--------------------

To update existing ISPConfig 3 installations, run this command on the shell:

ispconfig_update.sh

Select "stable" as update resource. The script will check if an updated version of ISPConfig 3 is available and then download the tar.gz and start the setup script.

Detailed instructions for making a backup before you update can be found here:

http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contro...e-ispconfig-3/

If the ISPConfig version on your server does not have this script yet, follow the manual update instructions below.

This ispconfig version has new features which require additional software packages to be installed. The backup function requires the installation of sudo, the WebDAV functions require the apache webdav module, awstats requires the awstats packages and the ruby support requires the apache ruby module. The commands for Debian and Ubuntu to install these packages are:

# Install sudo:
apt-get install sudo

# If you want Ruby
apt-get install libapache2-mod-ruby

# If you want webdav then run the following to enable the Apache webdav modules:

a2enmod dav_fs
a2enmod dav auth_digest






Manual update instructions
--------------------------

cd /tmp
wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
tar xvfz ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install
php -q update.php

Hi,


I'm a new howtoforge subscriber, and my first impression is that you are doing a huge work with this software and web site.

Nice service that send me an invoice, inmediately i have paid the subscription.

I'm very interesting in Ispconfig and a high availability (active-passive o active-active) and if is is possible over Amazon Web services. Has anybody done it ? I'm newbie in ispconfig, and of course I will read your manual first.

thanks a lot

Thanks for the solution, makes deploying solution ease for us especially with your howtos etc.

Got myself a copy of your manual, thanks, the price is reasonable.

I will be exploring deploying ISPConfig in public (e.g. EC2) and private datacenter (identical mirror for DR/clustering).

Just a question, anyone know if the manual is updated for this 3.0.3? I am trying to figure out the "Home" tab... ... can't locate it in the control panel.

@Till & Falko,
Thanks for this great release!
First i will install it on my testserver, after that i will upgrade the production servers.

Thanks for the manual as well. You'll receive my order soon!

Maybe a small note for Debian users, because itś not mentioned in here.

# Install sudo:
apt-get install sudo

# If you want Ruby
apt-get install libapache2-mod-ruby

# If you want webdav then run the following to enable the Apache webdav modules:

a2enmod dav_fs
a2enmod dav auth_digest

# After all:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And don't forget to upgrade slave servers first!

The manual is for 3.0.3. To enable the Home menu entry (also named Dashboard), go to System > CP users, click on the user where you want to enable the dashboard for and enable the dashboard checkbox under modules. You might also want to set the startmodule to dashboard too. Then click on save and logout. On the next login, you will see the dahsboard / Home menu.

This applies only to updated systems. On new installs, the dashboard is enabled by default for the admin user.

@Hans: Thanks, I really missed to add a note on that. I will add it to the release notes post.

Thanks! Was using an upgraded instance so didn't realized until you mentioned. It works now.
