Hi Folk, why do you install xcache? i would install zend opcache.

By: sannom

hello, I can't install hhvm "failed to fetch http://dl.hhvm.com/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease Unable to find entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in release file(wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) some index files failes to dowload......ect

Could you help me fix this?

By: sannom

hello,

i don't know if hhvm is necesary but it doesn't install, so i continue step 11 and 12 but now i have E:package 'libapache2-mod-fastcgi' has no installation candidate

could you help me fix it..

Check your /etc(apt/sources.list file and ensure that all Debian repositories (main contrib non-free) are active as described in this tutorial.

By: herbert

just remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hhvm.list

By: BatteriesInc

Small note: might be worth adding your excellent munin/monit tutorial to this setup, ISPC has support for it.

By: Tim

I wen through this whole install and everything works except for roundcube. When I try to login I get "Connection to storage server failed". I have tried removing and reinstalling roundcube, also removed and readded user to ispconfig. Please help

Thank you!You are genius. Always do you help me with the best tutorials.

By: Ritooon

Hi !

First, thanks for the tutorial !

I have an error at the 14th step, when I try to modify fstab

I do it, then use the next command (mount -o remount /) and then the next (quotacheck -avugm), that give me an error :

quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

This is my file :

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,relatime,discard,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1

#/dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,relatime,discard,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1

/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults,relatime,discard 1 2

/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

Thanks for your help !

Cheers ! :)

From: David Bucknell at: 2017-02-26 19:43:50 Check page 2 of the tutorial. If you are running on virtual private server you might need to create a symbolic link to the mount point and make it resilient to rebooting. I had the same problem a few months ago when setting up my server.

Hope this helps. Das Medium

By default, fail2ban and IspConfig don't use UFW to ban/unban IP or create Firewall rules. This parameter can be change into Sytem Tab > Server Config for ISPC. But for fail2ban ? Directly into a .conf file ? Or IspConfig configure fail2ban automatically ?

Thanks

By: till

Fail2ban is active automatically and there is no additional configuration required then what is written in this tutorial.

Pleas Update the Lets Encrypt part withe CertBot

Thanks

By: webhunter

Hm, installation completed but postfix throws an error:

"fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms"

I followed the instructions step by step. ISPConfig is working fine. But e-mails do not work..

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

By: NixXxon

Hello,

thank you for the great guide - worked fine on a virtual machine on my laptop BUT on my V-Server i get the following error:

Failed to read /proc/cmdline. Ignoring: No such file or directory

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

I googled and read something about a bug in debian with sysvinit and upstart (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/6042/upstart-on-debian) but I'm not really pro and not sure if that REALLY related to my problem.

I really hope you can help me out?!

Thanks in advance,

By: jrodgers

The command apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi php5-fpm won't run without adding contrib and non-free after main in the sources list.

For Roundcube to work with http://server1.example.com:8080/webmail or https://server1.example.com:8080/webmail, Need to add the following to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/roundcube.conf under <Directory /var/lib/roundcube/>

Works fine but.... I tried to install the ISPConfig Roundcube plugin with tutorial "RoundCube webmail installation on Debian 8", but that does'nt work. Can you please expand this tutorial ? Thanks

By: mike

hey there! good tutorial.i've did all the steps in this tutorial but when i go in my /webmail (roundcube) i am unable to send mails. after that i went to this tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/using-roundcube-webmail-with-ispconfig-3-on-debian-wheezy-apache2 and created the roundcube remote user in ISP exactly as described.

A peak into phpadmin tells me the remote user 'roundcube' has the rights he needs. Naturally i created a new domain and mailbox in ISP3 under 'Email'.

Now if i go into /webmail and try to send an email roundcube keeps loading. no error.Kind regards!

By: Edgar

Hi, I have a problem, if I send emails from the command line, it works, but, if sending mail from roundcube appears errror "SMTP Error (454): Could not establish recipient (4.7.1 Relay access denied)."

The postconf -n is:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

hello,

I unfortunately installed the wrong version of jailkit. How can I update this? Can I now just repeat all the steps of this tutorial with the correct version or do I have to uninstall anything? If so, how do I do that?

Could you help me fix this?

By: Blake

Hi, I have followed the guide exactly, but when I type in https://myurl.net:8080/webmail it takes me to a text page that starts with <?php

hi, it's possibile install PHP 7 instead of 5?

it's recommended per ISPConfig?

By: till

You can install PHP 7 as additional PHP version: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-7-on-debian/

By: Androbot

Hey, can i use Webmin instead of ISPConfig?

By: till

You can use Webmin, but Webmin is just a visual config file editor and not a Hosting control panel and all the "glue" to use the services together is done by the ispconfig installer and the ispconfg panel, so using this setup without ispconfig makes not much sense as you have just a bunch of unconfigured services then.

By: Androbot

Ah ok, Thank you i think i will take ISPConfig.

But what do you think about Nginx? Is it better than Apache?

By: Piotr

I got SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER for this ssl encryption of isp login site

By: till

That's ok and not an error. It just means that you are using a self-signed SSL certificate.

By: Baptiste

After selecting no on the let's encrypt screen, I got "Please specify --domains, or --installer that will help in domain names autodiscovery" and then back to command line #root@server: /opt/certbot#Is that it or something's gone wrong?

By: Michal

Hi,

Thanks for this instructions.

I found issue with using RoundCube:

I have 2 customers with domain-1.tld and domain-2.tld

when i login to webmail [email protected] account and i add additional identity (email allies) [email protected] i can sent emails as someone else / from different domain.

Is ther way to block this and allow sending emails only from domains that are assigned in ISP to this domain / account?

As this looks like potential source of spam / phishing it will be superb to block this

Regards,

Michal

By: till

Sending an email with RoundCube requires a correctly authenticated email user, so there is no way that an external person can send spam or phising emails. Only your mail users can send an email.

Webmail and other local installed software on your server can send with any from address as it connects to localhost on your server and localhost is in mynetworks. If you don't want to be able to use different from addresses, then configure your webmail application to connect to the external server IP and to use the username and password of the user to authenticate itself to postfix plus enable in the ispconfig under system > server config > mail "Reject sender and login mismatch".

By: robi1kenobi

Hello!

When I type robi1kenobi.com:8080, I get apache default page. I tried changing port to 2083, same thing.

Please help, what to do?

By: freegate

Hello,

I can not receive email. Still, I can send.

I have carefully followed the tutorial. Apparently others have had the same problem but did not share the solution.

An idea of resolution?

Thanks

By: till

The most likely reason is that your ISP blocks sending, so that's not a problem on your server. The setup is working fine and needs no midifications. If you need help, post your issue in the forum together with a log excerpt of the mail.log file.

By: freegate

I found the problem.

By default, setup of "main.cf" : inet_interfaces = loopback-only

I changed : inet_interfaces = all

It's ok now.

Hello

No need to create remote user in IspConfig for Roundcub ?

By: till

There is no remote user needed. Roundcube connects directly to postfix and dovecot.

Linux quota v2 files (kernel 2.4+) should be called aquota.user and aquota.group

By: SimonGilli

Hi Till, thanks for the next great guide! As in the older versions you install ntp and ntpdate. At the debian package description of ntpdate is written there's no need for ntpdate if ntp is installed. ntpdate is for the use on computers which aren't always online like laptops. Is there an other reason to install this package?

By: till

I was not aware of that, so we probably don't need ntpdate then.

By: remifr

Is it normal that there is no rule added to iptables with fail2ban ? Usually I see all the policies that we have in jail.local but when I type "iptables -L" I see nothing. Nothing in fail2ban logs.

# iptables -LChain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)target prot opt source destinationChain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)target prot opt source destinationChain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)target prot opt source destination

By: remifr

Ignore my previous comment, I had missing filters and logs weren't saying anything about it. I saw in "service fail2ban status"

By: Thibaut

Regarding the installation of XCache:

PHP 5.5+ comes with OPcache out of the box. Following this guide installed PHP Version 5.6.27-0+deb8u1 with opcache enabled by default.

Having both cache mechanisms enabled at the same time can result in unpredictable behaviour.In my case I mainly experimented two weird situations:

- some DokuWiki web sites would not render properly, in an apparent random manner. After being moved to another virtual host, they'd still use their "old" root path.

- a Piwik installation would render blank pages when trying to access website's statistics.

One information that led me to the conclusion that the cache mechanisms were involved was a PHP error reported in the logs containing the following:

stderr: PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class ...

As OPcache is now incorporated by Zend into the standard PHP installation I decided to completely disable XCache. This can be done by commenting out all lines in /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-xcache.ini by typing a semicolon (;) at the start of each line. Then restarting the services:

> nano /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-xcache.ini Put a semicolon (;) at the start of EACH LINE > service php5-fpm restart > service apache2 restart

It also seems possible to disable XCache on a directory basis by creating a .user.ini file containing xcache.cacher=0 in the targeted directory. I didn't try this, but here is a google groups reference.

Maybe the installation of XCache should be made optional (and not recommended) based on this fact ?

Anyway, I hope this info might come handy to some readers in case they experiment the same issues I've been facing.

Best regards.

Thank you for the great tutorial. Everything works fine. I added several sites and mail accounts on my test vps server.

But one thing does not work:

When I try to connect my mail client (mail on Mac or on my Android pad) as IMAP or POP

The answer is :

"impossible to verify name or pwd of the account"

anybody an idea what's wrong ?

Como faço para instalar o wordpress e o Mautic

By: elplubio

Hi,

I've installed twice to be sure not missing something in tuto.

When checking Let's Encrypt and save in ISPConfig pannel, certificate is well asked and furbish but only for last let's encrypt domaine activated in ISPConfig pannel (even the check box (ssl + let's encrypt) are gone on all domaine exept last configurated one).

So if I need certificate for three site, only the last configurated one will work in https.

The only difference from tuto is that my server is behind a NAT (port 80,443,8080 are of course forwarded).

Any guidline or help would be appreciate.Perhaps a stupid question, but why don't we use let's encrypt install from debian repository?

Thanks

I also reinstall with Official Jessie and everything's went fine!

Great Tuto, many thanks

How to upgrade roundcube from 1.1.5 to 1.3 beta?

By: nancylettuce

I completed this setup in a Devuan 1.0.0 Beta2 (a forge from Debian 8 Jessie with no systemd) server, and I post here for others to follow. As to date I have installed Devuan in a couple dozen machines, and I have had no issues.

I added backports for HHVM and Roundcube, as adviced in this howto.

It went all flawlessly, until I arrived to IspConfig itself (step 21: php -q install.php), which refused to install as it could not find a known distribution, so I edited/created next files in order to make it think this was a Debian 8 server:

/etc/debian_version8

/etc/issueDebian GNU/Linux 8 \n \l

/etc/debian_versionPRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"VERSION_ID="8"VERSION="8 (jessie)"ID=debianANSI_COLOR="1;31"HOME_URL="http://www.devuan.org/"SUPPORT_URL="http://www.devuan.org/support/"BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.devuan.org/"

then again:

# php -q install.php

And the installation went on. No problems.

.htaccess /.htpasswd doesn't seems to be activated

How Can I do this please ?

thank you

By: till

The websites are alls et to AllowOverrideAll by default in ISPConfig, so you can use .htaccess and .htpasswd i a website that you created in ISPConfig without any additional configuration.

By: nopnop

I try this tutorial on debian 8.7.1

here is my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride None

Order allow,deny

allow from all

</Directory>

why .htacces is not working ? any idea please

thank you

By: till

You are looking in the wrong config file. The configuration of a website in ISPConfig is in the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain.tld.vhost. Just create a website in ISPConfig and upload it to /var/www/yourdoamin.tld/web/. In the /var/www/yourdoamin.tld/web/ directory you can use .htaccess and .htpasswd files and you can even manage and create them from within ISPConfig. If you need further help, please post in the forum.

By: David Bucknell

In ISPCONFIG, how can we see what amavis is doing? Or how do we find it on the server? When I do a status check on amavis it says disabled, dead -- just like spam assassin, which was intentionally disabled:

The ISPConfig 3 setup uses amavisd which loads the SpamAssassin filter library internally, so we can stop SpamAssassin to free up some RAM:

service spamassassin stopsystemctl disable spamassassin

Is there any complete tutorial on Metronome, which includes, DNS setup, web interface , firewall rules etc ??

By: Scott

Thanks for the tutorial.

A few problems;- In the tutorial, you use a systemd dependent command yet you don't tell people to install this (you should update it so it works for a clean installed Debian).- When getting to the point where you actually install ISPConfig (php -q install.php), systemd can break the installation (maybe you should change the systemd dependent command in the tutorial?).- phpmyadmin doesn't seem to work for me on a clean installation of debian. I simply get a 404 when going to the phpmyadmin page and I tried reconfiguring it and even reinstalling it, yet its still not working (any tips so I can get it working?).

By: till

Thank you for your report. I tested the whole tutorial again and everything works out f the box, I used a clean and empty Debian system as described here https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/debian-8-jessie-minimal-server/ as basis and nothing is missing and PHPMyAdmin works as well. ISPConfig is using systemd on Debian 8 and Systemd is the default init system on Debian 8 today, that's why it is always installed when you install a base image as outlined in the Debian 8 minimal tutorial. The problems you reported are specific to your Debian base image where someone removed packages that are part of each standard Debian 8 system. Regarding PHPMyAdmin, ensure that you access it on port 80 and not 8080, you might have to adjust the link under System > Server config and ensure that you really enabled PHPMyAdmin to be configured for apache during install, enabling an option in apt is done with the tab key, it is not enough to put the focus on that option with the arrow keys.

When running mount -o remount / I get "unable to find UUID=3dc3b58d-97e5-497b-8254-a913fdfc5408"

By: till

The tutorial told you to add just the quota part to the mount line of the / moountpoint;

"Edit /etc/fstab. Mine looks like this (I added ,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 to the partition with the mount point /)"

and not to add the whole line or change the ID of the mountpoint.

By: Champs

Followed the tutorial and everything worked a treat. Thank you so much.....

But, when I installed WordPress, I lost access to stats, phpmyadmin etc.

Can you advise me what file I need to edit to get access again.

By: Ray

I am not receiving email from my yahoo or other email accounts.... I know that I can't send mail unless I use a relay, but is this also true for receiving? My DNS has an mx record @ pointing to the FQDN and an A record for the localhost.localdomain.tld set at @.

Third clean install with no success.

By: till

Please post your support question in the forum and not the comments of the tutorial if you like to get help. That you don't receive email does not necessarily mean that there is a problem with the server setup, so it is likely that a reinstall will not fix it.

Update Let's

/root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt -n renew

You are running with an old copy of letsencrypt-auto that does not receive updates, and is less reliable than more recent versions. We recommend upgrading to the latest certbot-auto script, or using native OS packages.

How to fix it?Thanks

By: Leon G

For some reason my browser says that the website is insecure, even though I enabled SSL for the installation and followed the steps with certbot.

Hi.

After the upgrade debian 8.9

I had to install some other packages because otherwise received errors.(packets: dialog and libwww-perl)

I have problem with mailman and RKhunter.Problems with RKhunter solved but not with mailman

http://server1.example.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/ - not workinghttp://server1.example.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ - not working http://server1.example.com/pipermail - not working 1. cgi enabled 2. mailman runing 3. everything according to the tutorial. Something in these tutorials is wrong?

By: till

Probably an issue with your upgrade. Mailman works fine here on a freshly installed system with this tutorial.

I followed this process (but swapped out ISPConfig 3 for the current stable 3.1.7). After install, the control panel HTTPS is not secure with SSL (i.e. red in address bar). How can I overcome this?

Regarding the Metronome option stuff - You MUST have 'make' installed (apt-get -y install make) prior to running those steps or the build will fail.

Merci aux developpeurs pour leur travail depuis toutes ce années.

I updated from Debian 8 to 12.

Since this update and a reboot of my server, I no longer have access to the server by SSH.

Here is the error message:

ssh: connect to host (here it displays the IP address of the server) port 22: Connection refused ssh: connect to host 178.63.54.111 port 22: Connection refused

I have no idea how to access the server.

My server provider offered me to login by KVN, but when I got the server login prompt, and I enter the server login, it says the user is wrong. I did a basic installation, without customization.

The Debian update probably broke my system and I don't know how to proceed.

Can you help me or give me some ideas?

Thank you
