11 ProFTPd
ISPConfig has better support for proftpd than vsftpd, so let's remove vsftpd and install proftpd:
yum remove vsftpd
yum install proftpd
chkconfig --levels 235 proftpd on
/etc/init.d/proftpd start
12 Webalizer
To install webalizer, just run
yum install webalizer
13 Synchronize The System Clock
If you want to have the system clock synchronized with an NTP server do the following:
yum install ntp
chkconfig --levels 235 ntpd on
ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
14 Install Some Perl Modules
ISPConfig comes with SpamAssassin which needs a few Perl modules to work. We install the required Perl modules with a single command:
yum install perl-HTML-Parser perl-DBI perl-Net-DNS perl-Digest-SHA1
15 The End
The configuration of the server is now finished, and if you wish you can now install ISPConfig on it.
15.1 A Note On SuExec
If you want to run CGI scripts under suExec, you should specify /var/www as the home directory for websites created by ISPConfig as Fedora's suExec is compiled with /var/www as Doc_Root. Run
/usr/sbin/suexec -V
and the output should look like this:
To select /var/www as the home directory for websites during the installation of ISPConfig do the following: When you are asked for the installation mode, select the expert mode.
Later during the installation you are asked if the default directory /home/www should be the directory where ISPConfig will create websites in. Answer n and enter /var/www as the home directory for websites.
