Installation ----------- # It is recommended to use a clean (fresh) Debian lenny install where you just selected "Standard System" as the package selection during # setup. Then follow the steps below to setup your server with ISPConfig 3. In this guide "vi" is used as texteditor, but you ofcourse # you can use whatever you prefer. You should be root for doing all of this. # Check we have Fully Qualified Domain Name /bin/hostname # it should return something like "ispconfig.example.com" # if not, then we assign a hostname (for example ispconfig): echo ispconfig.example.com > /etc/hostname vi /etc/hosts # and add lines similar but appropriate: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.100 ispconfig.example.com ispconfig # Some optional choices opt0.1) Optionally install SSH-server to get remote shell apt-get install ssh openssh-server opt0.2) Optionally if you are not running in virtual machine you can set server clocksync via NTP. Virtual quests get this from the host. apt-get install ntp ntpdate # Next is the real deal 1) Install Postfix, Courier, Saslauthd, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, rkhunter, binutils with the following command line (on one line!): apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl courier-maildrop getmail4 rkhunter binutils # Answer the questions from the package manager as follows.
