Comments on ISPConfig 3.1: Automated installation on Debian 9

Wow, didn't expect for it to work so smooth. Thanks for this man, worked like expected.

work fine!, the folder /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account not exist ubuntu 18.04

Well done! ISPConfig installed and configured correctly.

After performing a fresh installation of ISPConfig 3.1 on Debian 9.5, it reached the Apache2 default page instead of the ISPConfig home/login page using only the IP address. Not https://ip address or https://ipaddress:8080 can be reached.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Please run the debug script and post the output of it in a new forum thread so we can help you to find out what went wrong during install.

Thanks Till. I have just performing a debug script for this instattion, and the result has been posted as a new thread under ISPConfig 3 forum. Please take a look at your convenience.  

Amazing ! Great Job :)

Thanks a lot.

when I run the command "bash install.sh", it says "bash: sh: no such file or directory". PLEASE HELP !

I am able to access everything but ispconfig when using the public ip and port number(8080).

I believe it has to do with setting up phpmyadmin(the bug mentioned) but I am unable to figure out what exactly needs changing as ip/phpMyAdmin loads.

I'm using debian 9

Ideas anyone?

Everything run smoothly but at the end I get error 

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Take a look in the nginx error.log or use the commands mentioned in the error message to find out why it failed to start. If you need further help, please post in the ISPConfig installation support forum: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/forums/installation-configuration.27/

Great, works like a charm...

I noticed one thig regarding Pure-FTPD:

debian pure-ftpd[28216]: (?@?) [DEBUG] Couldn't load the DH parameters file /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd-dhparams.pem

Create pure-ftpd-dhparams.pem by executing:

openssl dhparam -out /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd-dhparams.pem 3072

service pure-ftpd-mysql restart

hello, really good work!

how can i install PHP 7.1 on debian 9 ?

thanks

See here for installing additional PHP versions: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-7-for-ispconfig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/

On Debian 9 all went smoothly.

Unable to login as admin using the hostname URL, only via IP address URL.

Check the DNS record of your hostname to ensure it points to the correct server.

Doesn't work, as always.

It seems that manuals howtoforge.com always lies

To all the liers:

On Debian 9 ispconfig won't work, i tested it myself.

This stupid "ispconfig" needs php5.0 and looking for php5-fpm

look into /etc/nginx/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost

What a stupid config, look at "fastcgi_pass"...

where is "apps.conf"  and "ispconfig.conf" php-fpm pool configs?

this stupid panel tried to install them into /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d 

instead of at least /etc/php/5.6/fpm/pool.d

This stupid behavior will work like a charm only on Debian 8

Hello Igor,

you installed an old ISPConfig version. There was an issue with ISPConfig 3.1.13 in combination with Debian 9.8 (and only Debian 9.8, not any other prior Debian 9 release as it was detected as Debian 8, see ISPConfig blog) in the past which has been resolved in ISPConfig 3.1.13p1 already several weeks ago, the issue in ISPConfig has been resolved on the same day it was reported btw. So before telling anyone a lier, install the current version and not an old release before start complaining.

I installed several ISPConfig 3.1.13p1 servers with Debian 9.8 in the past week, so I can say it works there without issues.

To fix your current server which runs the old ISPConfig version, all you have to do is to run an ISPConfig update with the command:

ispconfig_update.sh

select 'stable' as update source and choose to reconfigure services during update when the installer asks for it, that's all.

Many thanks. Runs fine except seems not to take into account my options...

Server runs fine.

quota failed with seperate /var partition.

I never expected this to work wow man this is just amazing. few click and the installation is complete 100% without a single error.

Thank you so much 

This is what i get when i use the automatic install.. and this is what is on line 353: IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf

After many trials setting it up manually, finally you made a installation script. Works perfect....Thx

Every time I am using this script it dies on

And every time i forgot to exclude amavis from install

That's probably not an issue of the install script, it works fine for me without problems. Most likely the hostname of your system is not setup properly when amavis fails on your server. The hostname has to be an fqdn subdomain. Check with:

hostname -f

it must return something like 'server1.yourdomain.tld'. if it returns just e.g. 'server1', then the hostname is not setup properly and amavis will fail during install. And amavis should not be excluded form install as the mail system will be very limited without it and it will fail later, e.g. no spamfilter, no antivirus filter and no DKIM signing of emails.

Hi there! Install script worked fine, however SMTP on webmail seems not to work. I'm testing on the hostname domain with an e-mail account, but "message is sending" keeps running. Anyone an idea? Thanks!

hi, sorry for delay, have you fixed that? If I can help you

The script is awesome. But I´d like to install Nginx instead of Apache. But I can´t figure out how to choose. It always select Apache.

Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

please do on debian 10

+1 Debian10 pls.

For Raspian10, in V3.0.5, edit $DISTRO\install_antivirus.sh to change "unrar" by "unrar-nonfree".

Works fine.

Erratum for raspian10: replace "unrar" by "unrar-free"

Did an install just now (March 5, 2020) on Ubunto 18.04 and got an error when it was installing Jailkit at the end; it said an install file was not found and the script advised me to start over again.  So I will try again tomorrow. In the meantime is this a known issue or a glitch that will hopefully not repeat...?    Will rerunning the script be possible, or should I wipe the system and re-install ubunto...?

 le premiere jour j'ai installer cela a pris d'un coup maintenant il refuse completment de s'installer de nouveau

qui peux m'aide svp

Error: The following command failed: apt-get -y install haveged

+1 make a debian 10 version pls! ty :)

The linked script includes Debian 10 too..

Then edit the file /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php and set the password you inserted in ispconfig. See the following example:

Shouldn't

$config['soap_url'] = 'https://192.177.167.44:8080/remote/';

be changed too?  Localhost?  Server's IP?  or FQDN?

Please remove this article, this is a waste of time. Tried on over 5 differents company VPS and password never work using admin/admin.

Bullshit.

1) The password is never 'admin' in recent ISPConfig 3 versions. The password is displayed by the ISPConfig installer at the end of the install.

2) The introductory text in this guide tells you to use the new auto-installer instead of the one described in the guide as the old autoinstall script from servisys is not compatible with ISPConfig 3.2. Why did you not follow the advice at the beginning of the guide to use the new auto-installer? https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

3) In case you missed writing down the password at the end of the installation, you can reset it easily at any time: https://www.faqforge.com/linux/controlpanels/ispconfig3/how-to-reset-the-administrator-password-in-ispconfig-3/
