Comments on Perfect Server Automated ISPConfig 3 Installation on Debian 11 and Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04

Thank you

Hello, great guide! Is there a way to install nginx instead of apache?

Thanks

Simply pass the argument --use-nginx to the installer, as described in chapter 5.

Yeah, only after you followed all the steps and finished installing everything, and then, apache.Dude, that stuff should be in the begining so people won't finish the install only to be greeted by apache when they want nginx. Also, how do I reconfigure is to use nginx instead of apache after finishing the install?

> Yeah, only after you followed all the steps and finished installing everything, and then, apache

The tutorial describes that it installs Apache and not Nginx, I'll cite from chapter 3 "Apache2, PHP (versions 5.6 - 8.0), MariaDB, Postfix ....." and how to get advanced installation options is described before the section with the command to start the installation. Seems as if you skipped reading the text.

> Also, how do I reconfigure is to use nginx instead of apache after finishing the install?

Format the server and start again.

I think the guide does not sufficiently state the pre-condition of operating system install. There should be chapter 0, for minimal OS install. If this autoinstall is started on Debian or Ubuntu that has already been configured or used, ISPConfig install probably fails.

So for Debian, install minimal Debian 10 using How to Install a Debian 10 (Buster) Minimal Server .

For Ubuntu, install minimal Ubuntu 20.04 using How to Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Server

The autoinstaller warns you: "WARNING! This script will reconfigure your complete server! It should be run on a freshly installed server and all current configuration that you have done will most likely be lost! Type 'yes' if you really want to continue:"

Other than the things done in the start of this guide, any basic Debian installation should be sufficient.

There seems to be a little error in configuring hostname.

You have 127.0.1.1 server1.example.com server1 it should be 127.0.0.1 server1.example.com server1

The article is correct. 127.0.1.1 is an IP that can be used and is often used today for the hostname. 127.0.0.1 is reserved for localhost and should not be used for the hostname.

As a question for clarity: Should the IP be the same as the IP of the server/machine being configured. EG on debian "ip a" reports the device IP as 192.168.1.5, therefore the line should read "192.168.1.5 mymachine.myserver.tld mymachine"

No. As I said in my previous answer, the installation instructions are correct, and the IP should be 127.0.1.1. Not 127.0.0.1 and not 192.168.1.5. Optionally, you can use 192.168.1.5 instead of 127.0.1.1, but its not needed to alter that file.

nice, i look forward to giving this a try. 

i'd generally be adding servers to a multi-server system, so using the --interactive option, in this case, are options like --no-web or --no-dns still relevant? or is everything installed / not installed via subsequent questions and answers? 

for ftp, for servers on eg aws, or digitalocean, the EIP / floating IP is not visible in any way directly from the vps, i see we can set the passive ports using the --use-ftp-ports option, is there any similar option for setting the ForcePassiveIP or does that still need to be done manually after install? 

does the auto-install of roundcube also install and configure the ispconfig3 roundcube plugins?

> are options like --no-web or --no-dns still relevant

Yes, they are relevant with --interactive as --interactive is only for the ISPConfig part, not which packages will/won't be installed.

>  is there any similar option for setting the ForcePassiveIP or does that still need to be done manually after install? 

Has to be done manually.

> does the auto-install of roundcube also install and configure the ispconfig3 roundcube plugins?

No, as this software is not maintained by us (the ISPConfig developers) but a third-party.

A fresh minimal install of Debian 10.9 it stops at, [INFO] Installing roundcube. [INFO] Installing packages roundcube/buster-backports, roundcube-core/buster-backports, roundcube-mysql/buster-backports, roundcube-plugins/buster-backports [ERROR] Exception occured: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

If you have any questions, ask them on the forum.

Is there a PPA version available so we don't need to manually check for updates every few weeks? Pulling down source code for patching isn't very efficient.

A PPA makes not much sense as the auto-installer is just a script that is run once to install and configure your server, it is never run again and it would even damage the system if you would permanently install it to run it again. All packages that it installs are Debian/Ubuntu packages anyway which get updated with apt. So all you do to keep your system updated is to run:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

regularly after you have installed it by using the auto-installer.

Or use --unattended-upgrades to have your updates automatically updated.

When any config needs tweaking because of updated ISPConfig behaviour, this will be noted in the release notes or even done automatically.

If you are not using IPv6 and having trouble starting dovecot after installation look here:

https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/fix-automated-ispconfig-3-installation-warn-dovecot-seems-not-to-be-running.86874/

If you hare having issues with connecting to the FTP check this thread:

https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/fix-automated-ispconfig-3-installation-ftp-wont-work.86876/

AWESOME & Thank you!

When I start from a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install, the script shows the following error:

[INFO] Activating sury php repository.

sh: add-apt-repository: command not found

[ERROR] Exception occured: ISPConfigOSException -> Command add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

With the follwoing command

apt install software-properties-common

the problem was solved (or not?).

This solved it...

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Hello

Is it possible to use MySQL instead of MariaDB?

Thanks

If I were to install this using the option  --use-php=7.4,8.0  What would be the default php version on the server? 7.4? And if so what would be the version of libapache2-mod-php that would be installed?

Thanks for the great work! Is there a solution, if my installation ends with the Error:

INFO Enabling TLS for pureftpd

openssl req... (Could not paste the error in the comments)

If i run the commant manually it returns no error and no result. Files were generated.

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 7300 -newkey rsa:2048 ... /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd.pem ...

Hello, After using the install on debian 10, everything is correct, except that the ispconfig ssl is not generated with letsencrypt. I have tried with 'ispconfig_update.sh --force' and when regenerating the certificate it gives me this error:

Please check that your hostname can be verified by letsencrypt Could not issue letsencrypt certificate, falling back to self-signed.

Any idea?

The FQDN is set correctly.

Thanks in advance.

My install on a fresh Debian 10 ended with:

[ERROR] Exeption occured: ISPConfig0Excetion -> Command cd /tmp ; (wget -O jailkit-2.20.tar.gz "http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/jailkit-2.20.tar.gz ......

What to do?

I'm having the exact same issue.

Fresh install on a Linode using Debian 11. Setup hosts file and hostname as per instructions. Have CloudFlare setup to point my domain to the ip of the linode and have subdomain (server1) pointing to @ via CNAME record entry. I can get to the ispconfig login, but noticed that the cert. was self signed... I added a website (using another domain that I own) and had and ssl cert created within the ispconfig tools (worked fine), but the domain tied to the ispconfig setup (like edezako said) won't generate a cert.

Any suggestions?

First, create it as A-Record, not cname. Then take care to disable Cloudflare proxy for this record as Let's Encrypt won't issue a cert otherwise. If this does not help, please post in the forum. there you find also a let#s encrypt error FAQ with step-by-step instructions to debug the let's encrypt certificate issue process.

It seems the filename is changed to: jailkit-2.20.tar.gz.1

Therefore the error is raised. The wget mentions 'moved'.

works like a charm. Kudos to the entire team.

Hi,

I install ISP3.2 on Debian 11. Nginx and multiple php. I have a big problem with error: 2021/09/20 16:17:18 [error] 880026#880026: *12392 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: X.X.X.X, server: X.X.X.X, request: "GET /admin4894ayt3m/index.php?controller=IqitElementorEditor&token=bffe8d9cdb5ade1ea48d7b8afaa39d77&ajax=1&testme=1&number=22 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/lib/php7.4-fpm/web2.sock", host: "X.X.X.X"

What is the correct road to increase this timeout? And which timeout parameter? I added to nginx.conf main configuration: proxy_read_timeout 600; and to vhost configuration I added:

fastcgi_read_timeout 600;request_terminate_timeout = 180

and nothing change.

This is the first time I use an ISP with nginx, never had any problems on apache.

This installer is fantastic, but is there a way to install MySQL instead of MariaDB? I was hoping there was a flag for it but it seems not.

I'm exhausted trying to make mailman working again and again. Never succeed. Once I thought I was wrong with some settings and that's why I can't see mailman interface.

Today I installed ubuntu 20.04 + ispconfig with auto-installer and --use-nginx. All services on the same server to avoid collateral disfunctionalities. All perfect. Great auto-installer! Congrats!

But where is mailman interface !?!?

host/cgi-bin/mailman ?

host:8080/cgi-bin/mailman ?

host:8081/cgi-bin/mailman ?

new_domain/cgi-bin/mailman ?

I see aliases related to mailman just on /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/000-apps.vhost

Other way looks like working. I received a mail swearing that my first list is on: http://host.tld/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/prima but ... I didn't find the interface, as usual :(

Mailman3 is not ready to use with ispconfig3 and mailman2 is not supported anymore by debian, maybe the same with ubuntu

hi, I tried on Ubunto20 with nginx.If I want to follow - https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-nginx-with-google-pagespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04/and install pagespeed I get error on: apt-get build-dep nginx Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list Any ideas? the souces.list is rewritten from ispconfig autoinstallerA.

the script have 2 problem:

1.apt-get install gnupg=2.2.12-1+deb10u1 gpgv=2.2.12-1+deb10u1

2. unrar  is callled rar

The name of the package in Debian and Ubuntu which contains the unrar command is named unrar, see Debian and Ubuntu package repositories. There are no issues with GnuPG in the auto-installer. Just follow the guide and don't alter any packages manually to get a fully working setup.

class.ISPConfigDebianOS.inc.php in this file is set package rar not unrar

Works fine here, installed it yesterday on Debian. My guess is that you are using an Arch which does not provide the package. The installer is forX86_64 systems, other architectures that lack some packages may fail.

Indeed, it seems that RAR/UNRAR might not be packaged for the ARM versions (yet).

@mark780, you can always install it from source (assuming you have a working C compiler setup!), or simply not use it for compressing backups (I believe that rar/unrar is only used by ISPConfig3 for compressing/decompressing backups, but it is just one of the possible options; there are a few more). 

Hi,

Using autoinstall on Proxmox lxc debian 11 container needs some tweaks (this is a draft list as I just tried it):

* non-free should be added to the sources, otherwise rar installation will fail  like this: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free 

* goaccess.list will contain the same line multiple times when one needs to restart the autoinstall script (as I did, due to the previous issue), probably append used instead of overwrite (probably >> vs >)   like this:     deb https://deb.goaccess.io/ bullseye main    deb https://deb.goaccess.io/ bullseye main 

* quota will not work out of box (--no-quota should be used)

Cheers,

István

Installed. Can't get into phpmyadmin. How to log into phpmyadmin? What is the password and user?

The root password for phpmyadmin is the same one for mysql root. phpmyadmin never had an admin password in the whole history, it always use the mysql one or afeter you add some DB users you can use those credentials as well

Thank you.

Why cant I insert here the original error message

Sorry but system does not let me to insert error message

Perfect auto script with Debian 11.2.0 64bits.

I had my DNS IPv4 and IPv6 already set.Just mention that one should go to the advanced network settings to set IPv6 to the pulic version before installing IPSconfig.

And this seems to work also when through a reverse proxy. In that proxy one has to get a LE certificate before. The proxy works for IPv4. IPv6 goes straight through the router.

Now I'm gone set our development sites.

And after that the OnlyOffice and STUN/TURN service on this machine for Nextcloud support.

This has worked before, so why not with this fresh install on Debian 11?

Oh wow... I wish this existed back then when I've first installed ISPConfig! Great job, guys, you truly rock! ????

As someone had already commented, I wish I had found this months ago!

Greate work!

I added a reply to another comment about the ssl cert for the ispconfig domain not working (only self-signed). Hoping that can get explained/sorted.

had some problems with ubuntu 20.04 with wget not properly working with ip-v4. After solving that it hangs on adding sury php repo. Switching to debian 11 did the job. Everything worked right away. Awesome job!

hello,

i have installed ispconfig with --interactive (and nginx) when i check ssl and let'sencrypt checkbox vhost haven't ssl conf

This happens when the hostname of the system is not configured in DNS or when Let's encrypt can't reach your server. Please use the ISPConfig support forum if you need further support: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/forums/installation-configuration.27/

Hello. Just 1 question. Where can I access to ISPConfig UI? Everything is conf on the server, but I dont know how to access UI in my server

From the above tutorial: "Your server is now set up and ready for use. You can log in at https://server1.example.com:8080"

 I'm new here. I installed it for the GoDaddy VPS server. but now I can't send or configure mail using outlook, what is the incoming mail and outgoing mail server? how to configure that? can anyone help me???

Installed with no problems on Debian 11.2 net install .

Thank you.

This is awesome. I love ispconfig. It gets better and better all the time. Tim is very good at what he does here.

Great Work!I have successfully installed my VPS with Nginx I have couple of questionsQ1: When I run command nginx -t out put 

root@abi:~# nginx -t

nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "server.example.com" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored

nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "server.example.com" on [::]:80, ignored

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successfulQ2 : Since the Installation is using Nginx Why I am seeing the following paths

/var/www/clients/client1/web1/webin addition to /var/www/htmlTo my understanding Nginx websites path is /var/www/htmlPlease adviseThanks

Please post your support questions in the ISPConfig support forum here at howtoforge.

I wonder if the step 5. Setting up the firewall is still necessary - I just finished my automated install and it arrived pre-setup with this:

Open TCP ports: 21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,3306,4190,8080,8081,40110:40210

Open UDP ports: 53

Update the guide if needed - thanks!

btw somebody asked in the discussion here: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/perfect-server-ubuntu-20.04-with-apache-php-myqsl-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ regarding the xmpp and I noticed that in the client - clients - limits, the section on xmpp limits is still there, I suppose it should be removed since it's not actually supported anymore...

I installed the default with no options ,  now what is the link to access roundcube or webmail  ?

Regards

Augusto

Usually, you can get it at http://your.server.name:8081/webmail (if you have selected the option to install apps on a separate vhost) or http://your.server.name:8080/webmail if otherwise.

Work perfectly wih Debian 11 (mono server setup).

Thanks Till (and contributors),

Hello, I have a problem. when I install the whole automatic package with wget, it happens that I get many Y's that fall vertically to the bottom, and intermittently the y's continuously.when I want to close the terminal in Debian, it gives me the message that if you close the terminal "you will kill the current execution".Ok, but the problem is that my computer has already been running for about 10 hours. and it's not over yet. Thanks and regards

Just a suggestion about Dovecot.

The Dovecot for Debian Bullseye (11) version is 2.3.13 [2021-01-04] and for Buster (10) the version is 2.3.4 [2018-11-23]. 

I have had issues with version <2.5 on Debian Buster (10). 

I did upgrade Dovecot by using the Dovecot community repos: https://repo.dovecot.org/

I did upgrade (thus test) Dovecot on Debian 10 and 11. There's also a community repo for Ubuntu (but I didn't test the Ubuntu repo as I don't have a server running Ubuntu). 

I did have to run the apt update [..] apt --fix-broken install [..] apt update commands and the ispconfig_update.sh --force command but that was an easy and convenient route to upgrade Dovecot to version 2.3.18 [2022-02-03] on Debian 10 and 11.

The changelog for Dovecot is located at: https://dovecot.org/doc/NEWS

I need to use Dovecot 2.3.5 or beter (2.3.4 is the default for Buster) to prevent crashes. The community repos are very helpful to run the latest version of Dovecot on Debian 10 and 11. 

I am hoping this might be a good suggestion for the auto install. 

Amazing! Saves my @$$ so many times! ;-P

Hello.

Thank You for the script but it looks there is error when default database name is changed while installing. Then at one point there is error:

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'dbispconfig.server_php' doesn't exist[ERROR] Exception occured: ....

When installing what i did was:MySQL database to create [dbispconfig]: somedifferentname

Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS , did the install with Nginx but letsencrypt does not seem to be working.  I enable letsencrypt for a website and in the control panel, it says there are two processing working and when they are done letsencrypt is disabled when I go back into the website and check.  Any ideas?

Please post support questions in the ISPConfig support forum and not in the comments section. there is a FAQ on that topic:

https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/

If you need further help, post in the forum.

Works great with my Debian 11, thanks a lot. My question: What are the steps to disable antivirus completely (for low memory situations?

What seems to be missing on this page, but is written on https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-10-buster-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/

The auto-installer reconfigures dash on its own, so this step is not missing nor required. But the auto-installer will work nonetheless if you ran the command upfront, so there is no issue that you changed it manually.

I just did install ISPConfig in a container (CT::Proxmox). I did notice that the quota option throws up an error. I don't need to set quotas - so I did add the argument "--no-quota" to the command: 

wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --use-ftp-ports=40110-40210 --unattended-upgrades --no-quota

This works fine. Currently installing GLPI for IT Service Management. 

Hello, great Guide, installed like a charm on a Linode Debian 11 'Nanode 1 GB RAM'All work except /webmail and /phpmyadmin alias out of the :8080. It's normal or need some major configuration?I suppose the files /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf and /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/roundcube.conf were globals and not referred only to :8080 vhost domain.

perfect !!!!! and easy

I had a issue only with debian 11, getting a error with the dpkg-reconfigure not found, fresh clean install.

I done this command before: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

and it fix, now is working fine

is there a way to upgrade the version Roundcube.

After install this version the Roundcube version is 1.4.13 and the latest version is now 1.6.

My mail server is running fine and I'm afraid to brake it by running manual scripts.

Is there an upgrade script ala ISPConfig, something like roundcube_update.sh :-)

please let me know.

Thanks, Paul.

Hello !!Can you help me please ?I would like to install ISPConfig3, but the installation crashes (I don't know if it works) from this line.I don't know if it's super long, I've been waiting for more than an hour, if it has paused, or if it's buggy... I tried typing the install command again but I'm still stuck here[INFO] Installing ISPConfig3 I'm on a Debian 10 KVM VPS virtualized by ProxmoxThank you for any help I receive

The install script works fine, just installed a server with it successfully last week and another one today. If you need help, post in the ISPConfig support forum:

https://forum.howtoforge.com/forums/installation-configuration.27/

When I use the --use-php=7.4,8.0 option during installation on the slave server, and I use the autoinstall script. The script creates multiphp settings only in the local mysql dbispconfig, but not on the master. That way I can't use the master ispconfig web interface to select the correct PHP version.

I have to add the settings to the master manually.

there is a way to no install jailkit or disable it ?

LetsEncrypt not working (acme.sh)

I noticed that Lets Encrypt was not working after the installation. After some debugging I found that the issue is a missing registation that is required for using acme!

Run acme.sh --register-account -m [email protected] after the installation to get Lets Encrypt working ;)

There is no registration required, just tested, autoinstall works still fine. You probably manually ran the acme.sh command when it was not run at install time due to other reasons like non-propagated DNS, and it then required that you register. This just means you manually ran it with the wrong command flags. ISPConfig uses acme.sh with let's encrypt CA, which does not require registration. While you ran it with zeroSSL CA, which is used by acme.sh if you don't set the correct CA upfront.

What ISPconfig is using is this " acme.sh --set-default-ca --server letsencrypt" so acme.sh run by ISPConfig at install time and also later for the websites does not require any registration.

Flawless, Thank you

Thank you, where can I find more info on --unattended-upgrades option.  is this an new entry in chrony updateing isp-config, distro, packages??

This is about Linux distribution updates and not ISPConfig updates, unattended upgrades is a option that is provided by Debian and Ubuntu and the installer enables that.

Thank you!!

Ubuntu 22 server, after step:

The current version of the auto-installer is for Debian 10 - 11, and Ubuntu 20.04 as stated in the tutorial, so it is not for Ubuntu 22.04 and is expected to fail when you run it on Ubuntu 22.04.

A new version of the auto-installer will be released soon which supports Ubuntu 22.04. You can try out that new version here: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/installing-ispconfig-3-2-9-development-version-on-ubuntu-22-04.89623/

Ubuntu 22 server, after following step:

One comment, on my Debian 11 Linode image (basic, standard install) it all works *except* fail2ban doesn't actually ban.It requires iptables which if you install with the "no firewall" option dont get added.

So it goes through the motions but never actually blocks.Simply solution, if you're using a higher tier firewall and install without, just apt-get install iptables.

 Errors from this script on Debian 11 in the installation option with NGINX.

ISPConfig cannot create user for database. The user is created in the IspConfig panel, but not for MariaDB. So in PHPMyAdmin error 1045 is shown and unable to login. (mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045):) Another error is with phpmyadmi's /temp dir which is not writable.

Works fine here, just tested it. So not an issue with the auto-installer on Debian 11. Most likely you changed the MySQL root password after you installed ISPConfig and missed setting the new password in ISPConfig /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf file.

Brilliant work guys. Thanks very much

I can't get memcache working i.c.w. php 7.4.

memcache works

LISTEN 0 1024 127.0.0.1:11211 0.0.0.0:* users:(("memcached",pid=28398,fd=26))

but I think the memcache and the memcached.ini files are missing in the /etc/php/7.4/mods-available.

Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Latest Rouncube TLS = 1.5.3 

Install worked fine, but my server domain "xy.domain.com"  where ISP is installed shows in "SSL" and "Let's Encrypt SSL" checked, but on the site it does not work... In the browser is says no certificate and also, the RoundCube "account" plugin shows a "SOAP ERROR" How can I fix that?

Please post in the support forum if you need help with your installation: https://forum.howtoforge.com/#ispconfig-3.23

Regarding Let's encrypt, this means your domain could not be reached by Let's Encrypt server; see FAQ on how to find the exact reason: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/

I just used this install script proceedure on a "Vanilla" installation of Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS  with GNU/Linux 5.15.0-56-generic x86_64 and it worked without any issues. This has saved me a whole bunch of time and effort. Thanks so much !!!

we have a problem with the update , i want upload my file large much 1mo i have this message

Hello, I'm an ispconfig regular donor, I like the script, but I think it might have a few more flags:

1. How about adding an --ssh-port option? I use to customize it!

2. How about a --no-ftp flag? It might seem strange but I only use sftp over ssh port and don't install ftp at all on my ISPconfig servers.

3, How about a --ispconfig-admin-port flag in order to customize the admin port?

4. Less important, but still useful, would be to deploy the firewall configuration with an --fw-allow-ports=22,80,443,etcetera and enable the firewall straight away.

I hope my suggestions are welcomed, I had a script for installing ispconfig automatically till ubuntu 20 and it will be totally unuseful if u had all 4 suggestions!

My auto-install was done on an Ubuntu 22.04LTS.  ISPConfig Interface was having trouble getting an SSL cert using acme.sh.  I used the --use-certbot option and this resolved the issue.

Hi, is anywhere URL link to download Virtual machine, what is meening at final of this article (step 8)? I cannot finding that. Thank You.

Hello everyone, I installed perfectly with this excellent tutorial, with the apache service, everything works perfectly. The only problem that I don't understand is for the mail certificates (thunderbird - android) it seems to use the self-signed. Do I have to move it manually or do you have to go directly with the installation? thank you so much. regards Cesar

Hello, I have a problem with this installation. I'm on a fresh new install of Debian 11. on a OVH VPS (1 vCore - 2 Go - 40 Go SSD NVMe - 250 Mbit/s).

The install is blocked on this line : [INFO] Installing ISPConfig3.

What's the problem ?

Hope someone could help...

Thanks

Hi :) Why the installer needs to enable contrib and nonfree repos on Debian? Thank you.

Because it installs software that is in the contrib and nonfree repos.

[INFO] Activating sury php repository  Can't continue for 5 hours

 thank you

Hi, I have ispconfig working on ubuntu 22.04 and generating ssl's perfectly. But the problem is about ssl for mail services. Trying to configure for example thunderbird as a client, it shows an ssl error. If I look into the certificate is because the ssl is with the server name, but not with the new subdomain. I tried to define an alias domain website (that works with correct ssl if i look throgh a web browser) but same error. Please, any ideas? What can I do? Regards

You must use the server hostname as mail server name in Thunderbird and not any other subdomain you created on the server or as a website as the SSL cert for the mail system, the ISPConfig GUI, and also FTP is for the system hostname only. See ISPConfig email tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-email-account/ , which explains how to configure a mail client and set up an email domain and mailbox. 

Hello, thanks for the great guide. 

Maybe I missed something, but I had a small issue with quotas after automated install on a server where /var was mounted on a separate partition.  I had to:

* edit /etc/fstab and add the quota-related mount options, as added to the root partition by the script, to the mount options for the /var mount

* init 1 #stops all ispconfig services

* quotacheck -vugm /var

* quotaon -vug /var

* reboot

I did this after running the (very nice) migration script (my old server was running Ubuntu 18.04). 

The configured quota (hard and soft limit) weren't immediately visible for me when checking ISPConfig's home page: "unlimited" was shown as value. 

* I changed the Harddisk quota for some sites

* a job is in queue per website changed - after a minute or two all are done

* ISPConfig's home page still shows the Website Harddisk Quota soft/hard limit as "unlimited"

* after some more time (I don't know exactly how much - it may be 15 minutes) the quota limits and progress bars were visible again for those sites, as on my old server.

Really a good script !!

This is the second site i install, it is fine !

I just installed this and I dont get a log for letsencrypt, the panel says it can't read the log and /var/log/letsencrypt doesn't exist. I even tried to make the folder and it doesn't work. It's failing everytime and i can't see why.

That's fine, and it's not a failure that /var/log/letsencrypt does not exist. Current versions of ISPConfig use acme.sh and not certbot as Let's encrypt client, acme.sh is under /root/.acme.sh/ and does not create folders like /etc/letsencrypt/ or a log /var/log/letsencrypt. If you need help with issuing a LE cert, then have a look here https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/ and post in the forum https://forum.howtoforge.com/forums/installation-configuration.27/

Hello,

I installed all according this guide and I have a problem with change php-fpm version on nginx server.

When I change any php version in nginix config file allwais is default version 7.4

Debian 11 is os.

        location @php {            try_files $uri =404;            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/lib/php7.4-fpm/web1.sock;            fastcgi_index index.php;            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;        }

Please any help..Thankx a lot. BR.

The vhost config file of a site does not contain any info about the PHP version of a website, so you can not see there which PHP version is used in that file at all. The only way to reliably see the PHP version of a website is to put a php file with phpinfo() function inside into that site. The number 7.4, which you probably think is the PHP version, is not related to the PHP version used on this site and the vhost file does not get changed when changing PHP version, only the PHP version that listens on the socket /var/lib/php7.4-fpm/web1.sock changes, but this can not be seen in the vhost file, so do not look into that file if you like to know if PHP change works or not, only use phpinfo() output. Please post in the support forum if you need further help: https://forum.howtoforge.com/forums/installation-configuration.27/

Hello till,

Thank you a lot for your message.

I solved this issue! I set PHP-FPM socket directory to all addition PHP versions:

For PHP 8.0:

PHP-FPM socket directory: /var/lib/php8.0-fpm

Everything works perfectly!

Thanks and have a nice day.

BR.

This was not needed, and it has no influence on which PHP version is used in that website at all. As I mentioned above, the number 7.4 in the path /var/lib/php7.4-fpm/ is not the PHP version. It's just the name of the central PHP socket directory path which is used by all PHP versions of the OS (incl. PHP 8.0, 8.1, and also 5.6) if you do not specify a different directory. But you may change its name, of course, but it does not matter for the PHP version used in that site.

FYI... This doesnt fully work on 22.04. I tried getting lets encrypt working and it would never create the cert and the logs were empty. It was not working from the GUI but would from ssh to make the certs. It also would break the websites when applied manually. Apache wouldnt even restart. 5 different VM deployments i got the same results.

It did however work flawless on 20.04.06. Just figured i would let you guys know it needs some more testing on 22.04.06. Maybe some updated version is breaking things.

The installation with the auto-installer worked fine on Ubuntu 22.04 when I tested it today after your post, and it also worked fine when I installed it yesterday on a different server. What you describe indicates an issue with your base system, network access from outside, or hostname setup. It's not an issue with this guide or the auto-installer. Also, never try to create LE certs manually on the shell as you did. This must break the server and must make Apache fail, so this outcome is to be expected when using certbot or acme.sh manually on the shell instead of letting ISPConfig create the certs. If you need help with your setup, please post in the forum: https://forum.howtoforge.com/#ispconfig-3.23

There is also a Let's encrypt FAQ to help here: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/

Issue was if you don't have hairpining setup in your firewall it doesn't work, Which i don't, i'm running internal DNS. Soooo, ubuntu uses internal DNS and reachout to an extrenal dns for resolution. The way around is to update the /etc/resolv.conf to use your internal DNS.

Thank you for a great script. I would suggest adding the option of --no-clamav, to avoid installing clamav, while keeping rspamd, due to the fact that it is clamav that consumes most of the memory of the entire ISPConfig stack, making the install somewhat not feasible on smaller VPS servers with 1GB of RAM or less.

According to the "Rspamd modules" page, "To disable an entire module you can set enabled = false; in /etc/rspamd/local.d/${MODULE_NAME}.conf", so the only script modification required would be to set the contents of /etc/rspamd/local.d/antivirus.conf as "enabled = false;" and exlcude clamav-daemon and clamav-freshclam from installed packages.

Hi all. I have to install a new server with Debian. Debian 12 is coming out soon and I would like to avoid going from Debian 11 to 12. Does the autoinstaller script work for Debian 12 as well? Is it possible to disable jailkit? Thank you very much.

No, it does not support Debian 12 yet.

Thank you very much, till.

Hi Till,

Are you un plan to adapte the script for debian 12 ?

I will configure a new server and i will start a new configuration with this version of debian

Thanks

Yes, we are working on adding Debian 12 support in ISPConfig and also the auto-installer.

Kudos!

good write up, i`m having issue installing it on aws abuntu instance, i have tried both the command for apache and nginx they both stucked at disabling spamassassing deamon and stoped progressing

You can use the --debug switch for more detailed output. if you need further help, please post in our support forum: https://forum.howtoforge.com/#ispconfig-3.23

Meanwhile PHP 8.1 is available... You can add it to your tutorial so people can install this version too

There is no need to add anything to the tutorial as the auto-installer installs PHP 8.1 and 8.2 for a long time already.

I installed the Perfect Server in an Ubuntu 22.04 server. Is it possible to install 2 more servers and move the DNS service to one of them and the e-mail to the other? I mean, go from single to multi-server?

Yes. You can always add more servers, the initial server then becomes the master node.

getting an error in the script on Debian 12 as well as 11:..[INFO] Configuring rkhunter.

hi there, i have a problem with mailman, until now i dont know how to create and use it, i tried many times, but still no luck, is there any documentation or success story that can be shared here? thanks before

Ispconfig requires Mailman 2 (not Mailman 3) and there are no Mailman 2 packages available anymore for the latest Ubuntu and Debian versions, so you can not use Mailman on the latest installs. Or you have to try to compile and install Mailman 2 e.g. from source.

When i follow the tutorial i have an error like this : 

[ERROR] Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Command resolvconf -u 2>&1 failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

Do you know why ? 

I am on a Debian 12 (VM) fresh install in a proxmox VE 8.1.3.

Thanks

I had this exact error - I specified --no-dns --unbound

this was the error:

[INFO] Installed packages software-properties-common, update-inetd, dnsutils, resolvconf, clamav, clamav-daemon, zip, unzip, bzip2, xz-utils, lzip, borgbackup, arj, nomarch, lzop, cabextract, apt-listchanges, libnet-ldap-perl, libauthen-sasl-perl, daemon, libio-string-perl, libio-socket-ssl-perl, libnet-ident-perl, libnet-dns-perl, libdbd-mysql-perl, unbound, p7zip, p7zip-full, unrar-free, lrzip

[ERROR] Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Command resolvconf -u 2>&1 failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

I resolved it by purging unbound (which was installed), re-installing the libevent-2.17 and the 5 php8.2-cli,common,mbstring, etc, that the purge of unbound also removed, running the installer again with the --unbound flag set, verifying that bind9 was installed and it worked.

I'm sorry if this has already been suggested by others, but since I don't feel like scrolling through 143 comments I thought I'd just suggest it myself here..I think it would be a good idea to be able to choose what port ISPconfig will run on by using a variable to the command. Just my two cents.

Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Command mount -o remount / 2>&1 && quotaoff -avug 2>&1 && quotacheck -avugm 2>&1 && quotaon -avug 2>&1 failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

Your server does not support Linux Filesystem quota. You must run the installer with the additional option:

--no-quota

Absolutly fantastic guide, I went through both Nginx & Apache. Perfect installed, no issues whatsoever. I have searched the comments before asking this question. Does the letsencrypt autorenew? I couldn't find an anwer. If yes great, if no, where is the file? I will just get another one.

Thanks againBill

Yes. Let's Encrypt certs renew automatically.

Thank you for the Automated Installation!

After running the autoinstaller (with Apache) everything is looking fine. But after the installation when I do apt update following happends:

root@server:~# apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.goaccess.io jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

When I delete "deb https://deb.goaccess.io/ jammy main" from "goaccess.list" the error disappears, but I think that is the wrong way to solve the problem.

Thanks.

You seem to be using 32Bit Linux, the auto-installer setup supports 64Bit Linux only (see prerequisites at the beginning of the installation tutorial). Yes, you can remove the goaccess repository; website statistics with goaccess will not work then.

Thank you @till, then I will remove the goaccess repository.

That was the same what I was thinking, that I have used the wrong Bit system. But I did a 2nd installation with Ubuntu 20.04 64-Bit and the same problem appears.

However, so if it's not a big problem I will remove the repository.

Thank you!

At the beginning tutorial tells to use command su - but it seems quite often readers miss the dash character or do not consider it significant. The command could be replaced with

su --login

which would make it harder to miss and easier for readers. 

Discussion here: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/ispconfig-keeps-failing-to-install.91095/#post-456172

This applies to all ISPConfig installation tutorials. 

When installing with nginx.  How to you set the alias for roundcube as  www.xxx.com/webmail   instead of www.xxx.com:8080/webmail

The URL for Roundcube is www.xxx.com:8081/webmail and not www.xxx.com:8080/webmail. There are no global aliases in Nginx available, so we can't use them; if you want to have such an IURL in Nginx, you must, e.g., set up a proxy in each website for the webmail URL, so better use the central URL on port 8081.

yes I typed it wrong...I dont have a problem setting up a proxy on each website... I just dont know what to put in the directives box to make it redirect to 

https://www.xxx.com/webmail.   when i use example directives from previous posts it redirectes to https://www.xxx.com:8081/webmail in the url bar and it does not have my le secure cert applied.

just to note... the autoinstaller doesn't correctly set a few values in /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini   (autoinstaller script downloaded today (19-06-2024)

to start with.. in the [php] section, for includesections, it uses  php7_3..

i know this bit will need changing depending on the installed OS.. but i think it should be set, by default, to at least the lowest currently active supported php version, not left on an wildly obsolete setting..

the /usr/lib/php/######  path for the [php8_2] section contains the ####### for php 8.1 (20210902), not 8.2 (20220829) and there's no mention of php8.3 at all..

correct entries should be:

[php8_2]comment = php version 8.2paths = /usr/bin/php8.2, /usr/lib/php/8.2/, /usr/lib/php/20220829/, /usr/share/php/8.2/, /etc/php/8.2/cli/, /etc/php/8.2/mods-available/includesections = php_common[php8_3]comment = php version 8.3paths = /usr/bin/php8.3, /usr/lib/php/8.3/, /usr/lib/php/20230831/, /usr/share/php/8.3/, /etc/php/8.3/cli/, /etc/php/8.3/mods-available/includesections = php_common

these php sections are static settings,  so should be quick and easy to fix in the autoinstaller scripts..

likely a lot of ispconfig admins wouldnt know these settings are wrong and to go in to the jailkit configs to correct these.

This is not configured by the auto-installer; it's part of ISPConfig. ISPConfig includes a fix already in the development branch (3.2.12 release).

 If you're installing on an AWS VPS, be sure to create swap space and have it mounted at boot time before beginning the install process.  kswapd0 will peg your CPU usage hunting for swap space otherwise.

Amazing work and tutorial. Just a quick question. After finishing the installation can i add an extra php version to the system and to the ispconfig with a command such as the above? If not, such a simple script a believe would be extremely helpful.Thanks in advance!

Also, I see that deb 12 currently offers nginx 1.22.1 - can I get nginx elsewhere are use 1.27.2 adn expect it to work well with ISPConfig3 current?

Thanks adn BTW I am a subscriber! Thanks again!

Hello,

Very Good tutorial. Kudos.

How to fine plain text password for rspamd login?

a.k.a https://x.y.z:8081/rspamd

Just one little problem. Rspamd was not automatically installed. After "apt-get install rspamd", "ispconfig_update.sh --force" (maybe not neede) and reboot (to start new service) my email worked just fine. Thank you for the tutorial!

[ERROR] Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

thanks for your help

Run the command:

To see why it fails. Maybe your hard disk is full, or you did not start from a fresh and empty base system. Please post such questions in our forum and not here in the comments.

I was just wondering if there is any way to uninstall ISPConfig when this automated installer was used. I remember that in the past there would be a /root/uninstall, but not anymore. Is there a way to uninstall ISPconfig? Or, what would fit my needs as well, is there any way to fully reset ISPconfig? I would like to have a new, clean database.

Installing on Ubuntu 24.04 with "--ssh-permit-root" , I hit a problem where sshd did not start on reboot. The issue was in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/custom.conf where PermitRootLogin was set to "1". This value is not accepted and must be set to "yes" instead.
