ISPConfig is an open-source web hosting control panel which allows you to manage web servers, email servers, DNS and other services from a web-based interface. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing ISPConfig on NetBSD.
Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to install the required packages by running the following command in the terminal:
pkgin install perl5 mysql-server apache curl sudo
This will install the following packages:
Next, download the latest version of ISPConfig from their official website using the following command:
curl -OL https://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
After the download is complete, extract the downloaded archive:
tar -xzvf ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
This will extract the ISPConfig package into a directory named "ISPConfig-3-stable".
Next, navigate to the extracted directory:
cd ISPConfig-3-stable/install/
Inside the "install" directory, you'll see a shell script named "install.php". Run this script with superuser privileges:
sudo php -q install.php
This script will initiate the installation process for ISPConfig.
During the installation process, the script will prompt you to enter some basic information such as the MySQL root password, administrator username, password, and email address.
Once the installation process is complete, you'll see the following message:
ISPConfig appears to have been installed successfully.
After the installation is complete, you need to configure ISPConfig. To do this, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo ./setup.sh
The setup script will ask you a few questions about your environment, such as the network interface, IP address, and hostname of your server.
After you've answered the questions, the script will update your system's configuration files.
Now that ISPConfig is installed and configured, you can access it by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:
https://<YOUR_SERVER_IP>:8080
Replace <YOUR_SERVER_IP> with the IP address of your server.
You'll see a login screen where you can enter the administrator username and password you specified during the installation process.
In this tutorial, we guided you through the process of installing ISPConfig on NetBSD. We hope you found this tutorial helpful, and feel free to explore ISPConfig's features and services.
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!
