ISPConfig is a powerful, open source hosting control panel that allows you to manage multiple servers and websites from a single interface. Installing ISPConfig on MXLinux Latest is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.
Before we get started with installing ISPConfig, we need to make sure that our system has all the necessary prerequisites installed. Open up a terminal window and enter the following command to update the package list:
sudo apt-get update
Next, install the necessary packages by entering the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php php php-cli php-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid mysql-server-5.7 mysql-client-5.7 mysql-common phpmyadmin
Next, we need to download and extract the ISPConfig package. Head over to the ISPConfig website (www.ispconfig.org) and download the latest version of ISPConfig for Linux.
Once you have downloaded the package, extract it to the root of your webserver's document directory by entering the following command:
sudo tar -zxvf ispconfig*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Now that we have all the necessary packages installed and ISPConfig extracted, we can run the installer script to configure ISPConfig.
Navigate to the ISPConfig directory by entering the following command:
cd /var/www/html/ispconfig*/install/
Next, run the installer script by entering the following command:
sudo php install.php
The installer will prompt you for some information during the installation process, such as the MySQL root password and the ISPConfig administrator password. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Now that ISPConfig is installed, you can access it by pointing your web browser to http://yourserveripaddress:8080. Enter the username and password that you set during the installation process to log in to the ISPConfig interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ISPConfig on MXLinux Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
