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 -y 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.
Create directories for web-based administration ? <-- No
General type of configuration? <-- Internet site
Mail name? <-- server1.mydomain.tld
SSL certificate required <-- Ok
# ...use your own domain name of course ;)
# Edit the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf
vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf

tbrehm
committed
# and change the line:

tbrehm
committed
to:
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
# then restart mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
2) Install Amavisd-new, Spamassassin and Clamav (1 line!):
apt-get -y install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl

tbrehm
committed
# During the installation, the SSL certificates for IMAP-SSL and POP3-SSL are created with the hostname localhost. To change this to the correct hostname (server1.example.com in this tutorial), delete the certificates...
cd /etc/courier
rm -f /etc/courier/imapd.pem
rm -f /etc/courier/pop3d.pem
# ... and modify the following two files; replace CN=localhost with CN=server1.example.com (you can also modify the other values, if necessary):
vi /etc/courier/imapd.cnf
[...]
CN=server1.example.com
[...]
vi /etc/courier/pop3d.cnf
[...]
CN=server1.example.com
[...]
# Then recreate the certificates...
mkimapdcert
mkpop3dcert
# ... and restart Courier-IMAP-SSL and Courier-POP3-SSL:
/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop-ssl restart
3) Install apache, PHP5, phpmyadmin, better fastCGI, suexec, Pear and mcrypt (1 line!):
apt-get -y install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli php5-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec php-pear php-auth php5-mcrypt mcrypt php5-imagick imagemagick libapache2-mod-suphp libopenssl-ruby
# When phpMyAdmin is asking weather to configure itself automatically, select "Apache2"
# Then run the following to enable the Apache modules suexec, rewrite and ssl:
a2enmod suexec rewrite ssl actions include
# restart apache before continuing
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

# Now start the installation process by executing:
php -q install.php
# The installer will configure all services like postfix, sasl, courier, etc. for you. A manual setup as required for ISPConfig 2 (perfect setup guides) is not nescessary. To login to the ISPConfig controlpanel, open the following URL in your browser (replace the IP to match your settings!):
http://192.168.0.100:8080/
# the default login is:
user: admin
password: admin
# In case you get a permission denied error from apache, please restart the apache webserver process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional:
Install a webbased Email Client
apt-get install squirrelmail
ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/ /var/www/webmail
Access squirrelmail:
http://192.168.0.100/webmail
To configure squirrelmail, run:
/usr/sbin/squirrelmail-configure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hints:
debian 5.0 under openvz:
VPSID=101
for CAP in CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE CHOWN DAC_READ_SEARCH SETGID SETUID NET_BIND_SERVICE NET_ADMIN SYS_CHROOT SYS_NICE
do
vzctl set $VPSID --capability ${CAP}:on --save
done
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional recommended packages:
denyhosts - a utility to help sys admins thwart ssh crackers
rsync - fast remote file copy program (for backup)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ispc log files rotate, for now manual add but to add in ispc installer:
/etc/logrotate.d/logispc3
/var/log/ispconfig/ispconfig.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 4
compress
delaycompress
}
/var/log/ispconfig/cron.log {

Possible errors and their solutions
------------------------------------
pureftpd login does not work. Take a look at the syslog, if you find an error message like this:
Mar 24 16:26:28 ispconfig pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Sorry, invalid address given
then pureftpd is not able to resolve the hostname. Name resolving can be disabled with these commands:
echo 'yes' > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DontResolve
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart
