How to Install ISPConfig on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ISPConfig on Manjaro. ISPConfig is an open-source control panel that allows you to manage multiple servers from a single web interface. It enables users to easily set up and manage various web services like DNS, FTP, and databases among others.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running Manjaro Linux
• Root access to your server
• A valid domain name
• An internet connection.

Step 1: Update the System

It is essential to ensure that your system is fully updated before installing ISPConfig. You can update your system using the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Packages

ISPConfig requires some packages to be installed on your system for it to work correctly. Use the following command to install them:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-fpm php-{gd,mcrypt,mysql,imap,ldap,xml,tidy,intl,curl,pspell,fpm,zip}

This command installs Apache web server, PHP, and several required PHP extensions.

Step 3: Add ISPConfig Repository to Your System

ISPConfig maintains its repository that contains the software packages. You can add it by creating a new file, /etc/pacman.conf.d/ispc-repo.conf, and adding the following lines:

[ispc]
Server=https://download.ispconfig.org/manjaro/
SigLevel=Never

After adding the repository, update your system package list by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syy

Step 4: Install ISPConfig

With the package repository in place, you can now proceed to install ISPConfig using pacman:

sudo pacman -S ispconfig

During the installation, you will be asked to provide information like server name, domain name, and the username and password for the ISPConfig interface.

Step 5: Access ISPConfig

After successfully installing ISPConfig, access the ISPConfig interface through your web browser using the domain name or IP address you specified during the installation, followed by /ispconfig. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access ISPConfig from https://192.168.0.100/ispconfig.
