HowTo Install ISPCP for OpenSuse

Installation

First, make sure you are logged in as root.

1 Untar or unzip the distribution files to a secure directory:

# cd /usr/local/src

# tar xjvf ispcp-omega-1.0.6.tar.bz2

2 Change to the newly created directory:

# cd ./ispcp-omega-1.0.6

3 Install the required repositories:

OpenSuse 11.1 (Recommended for ispCP 1.0.3):

# sh ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse111-repositories add

OpenSuse 11.2 :

# sh ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse112-repositories add

Note: For all questions, answer “a” (trust always).

4 Install the required packages:

OpenSuse 11.1 (Recommended for ispCP 1.0.4):

# zypper in $(cat ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse111-packages)

OpenSuse 11.2:

# zypper in $(cat ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse112-packages)

5 Install the required perl packages:

First, update CPAN:

# cpan CPAN

For OpenSuse 11.1 (Recommended for ispCP 1.0.4):

# cpan $(cat ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse111-perl-packages)

For OpenSuse 11.2:

# cpan $(cat ./docs/OpenSuse/opensuse112-perl-packages)

Note: every question which is asked in the first run of cpan should be ok to confirm

6 (optional) Check ispcp.conf

Check the:

./configs/opensuse/ispcp.conf

and adapt it to your requirements.

7 Build the System by using make:

# make -f Makefile.opensuse install

8 Copy all the directories into your system (you may make backups before)

# cp -RLv /tmp/ispcp/* /

9 Start MySQL, if not running:

# rcmysql restart

10 Change or create MySQL root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root, login remotely, remove test database (and access to it), reload privilege tables.

# mysql_secure_installation

11 Maybe empty the folder /etc/skel - otherwise you'll have all the files/folders in the home folders...

# cp -a /etc/skel /etc/skel.bkp

# rm -r /etc/skel && mkdir /etc/skel

12 Now it's time to set up the frontend. Change into the engine directory and start the engine setup:

# cd /srv/www/ispcp/engine/setup

# perl ispcp-setup

13 Restore /etc/skel

# rm -r /etc/skel && mv /etc/skel.bkp /etc/skel
