Comments on The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 15.04 (nginx, BIND, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3)

The part about MariaDB is lacking some configurations. As it is right now, you will not be able to login with phpmyadmin and it will throw error #1698 and wont connect to mysql. I suspect the reason is, that as it is, root will be configured with both an auth plugin and a password, therefore it will ignore password login.I fixed it like this:before calling

call mysql directly like  this:mysql -u root

Then run these commands:use mysql;

update user set plugin='' where User='root';

flush privileges;

\q

now can call

madgyver.de

I've added that step in the installation instructions.

Tutorials are always good. But...... i would never use a standard/interim version that's just supported for 9 months when it comes to setting up a server. Instead go with a LTS release of Ubuntu that's supported for 5 years.

Some users prefer the LTS versions, others prefer to have the latest software. So each user can decide on its own what he prefers. The LTS version of the tutorial is here:

Hey till, where can i find the user/password for the .ova template ?

SSH User: administratorPassword: howtoforgeThe root password is "howtoforge" as well.The ISPConfig user and password is "admin".

I can't get MariaDB to install.

I've tried all the different versions of debconf with no difference. I'm trying to install on a vps that I have a minimal 15.04 Ubuntu installed on. Any solutions or do I need to use 14.04 and mysql?
