This tutorial is a slighlty modified version of the official installation instructions found at http://isp-control.net/documentation/start/installation/ubuntu

You will need a clean installation of Ubuntu 10.10 before proceeding with the tutorial, please follow the instructions on the first two pages at http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-2

When installing Ubuntu please use a static IP address and a fully qualified domain name accessible from the internet. e.g. hostaname.domain.com

ISPCP's install script is for Ubuntu 10.04 but works just aswell with 10.10

cd docs/Ubuntu

aptitude install $(cat ubuntu-packages-lucid)

You will be asked to enter a new MySql password

You will also need to configure Courier as below

4. Build the system using make

cd /usr/local/src/ispcp-omega-1.0.7

cd /var/www/ispcp/engine/setup

perl ispcp-setup

The setup defaults should be adequate, you will be required to enter your MySQL password.
