For one of the hosting companies prepare a server based on Ubuntu 9.10 distribution. The main task of the server you want to support our customers, such as hosting, email accounts, databases. The company has high security requirements. We chose Ubuntu Server and ISPConfig system as an overlay to manage the system. Create a system image for the VMware virtual machine, which it will try to describe systems in the near future. Here we try to present the problems that we encountered during installation.
The first important note, we have with Ubuntu / bin / sh that is linked to / bin / dash, unfortunately, as it turns ISPConfig can not be installed with such parameters, execute:

# dpkg-reconfigure dash

When asked if you want to install dash as / bin / sh does not respond, you should do this. Then turn off SELinux, which in the case leads to deactivation of Ubuntu apparmor (/ etc / init.d / apparmor stop) The next step is to install packages for the mail (using postfix):

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 getmail4 rkhunter binutils

Installing maildrop (default to have mailidir!)

update-alternatives - remove-all maildir.5
update-alternatives - remove-all maildirquota.7
and installation:
aptitude install maildrop

Theoretically, you can install maildrop together with other packages, but unfortunately, there are problems

Stay tuned ...
