22 Install SquirrelMail

To install the SquirrelMail webmail client, run...

yum install squirrelmail

... and restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Then configure SquirrelMail:

/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl

We must tell SquirrelMail that we are using Courier-IMAP/-POP3:

One last thing we need to do is modify the file /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php and comment out the $default_folder_prefix variable - if you don't do this, you will see the following error message in SquirrelMail after you've logged in: Query: CREATE "Sent" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name.

vi /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php
<?php
/**
 * Local config overrides.
 *
 * You can override the config.php settings here.
 * Don't do it unless you know what you're doing.
 * Use standard PHP syntax, see config.php for examples.
 *

 */
//$default_folder_prefix                = '';
?>

Now you can type in http://server1.example.com/webmail or http://192.168.0.100/webmail in your browser to access SquirrelMail.

 

23 Install ISPConfig 3

To install ISPConfig 3 from the latest released version, do this:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
tar xfz ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install/

The next step is to run

php -q install.php

This will start the ISPConfig 3 installer:

[[email protected] install]# php -q install.php

The installer automatically configures all underlying services, so no manual configuration is needed.

Afterwards you can access ISPConfig 3 under http://server1.example.com:8080/ or http://192.168.0.100:8080/. Log in with the username admin and the password admin (you should change the default password after your first login):

The system is now ready to be used.

Hello I have scrupulously followed this wonderful tutorial on my server and everything works fine, I have a problem with "Courier" When I send an email fine but it happens with the sender "Apache" example : [email protected] How can I fix this?

By: Maurilio

if you browser show a blank page after all instalation process, and apache show in log the message above;

[notice] child pid 5003 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

 remove php-eaccelerator and go ahead.

rpm -e php-eaccelerator

By: admin

It's Apache then or PHP that are not compatible with php-eaccelerator, not ISPConfig. ISPConfig does not serve the pages, that's done by Apache/PHP.

By: Maurilio

if you have a blank page after login in ISPconfig, and apear in apache log the message above;

[notice] child pid 5010 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

 

1- don´t wory, only remove the package: php-eaccelerator

2- and restart apache;

 

rpm -e php-eaccelerator

service httpd restart

 

And Realy Thanks to Tutorial.

Hey, that fixed my ISPConfig and WordPress.  Thanks.

By: Bogdan Storm

I followed your tutorials about "perfect servers" and they are absolutely great. Simple, fast and good stuff to learn from.

It would be great o see a tutorial about a "perfect server" made only to run fast CMS websites and online stores (Joomla+Virtuemart, Wordpress + Ecommerce, Prestashop, Magento). Without email boxes, antispam and all that useless stuff, just with ability to send mails to customers/visitors.

I am currently configured my server (Debian) for all domains and websites (about 80) that I host to receive email with help from Google Apps free and it's working great. This way I am not loading my server with all that stuff. :D

 Thanks a lot for putting all this together.

Hi !!! i have an VBox machine on W7 host with a ADSL conection - i install the server on vbox from this tutorial but at finish i have some troubles : 
1. i cant acces mysite from exterior(internet), from network it works perfect 
2. phpmyadmin doesn't open too, but it doesn,t open from network and from internet(when i install it first I test it and he work from network)

 ISPConfig and webmail, FTP and SSH are working well from internet and from internal network .

 Firewall and SElinux are disabled, NAT on router is configured, the mysql server works (show in IPSConfig)

I followed this tutorial to a T and it's great. I have it on Linode and it's wonderful. The only problem I've run into is that the AWSTATS just don't seem be working. I've set all of the sites (4 days ago) to awstats. But they are all giving a 404 error.

I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas?
