This tutorial shows how to prepare an Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) server for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, BIND or MyDNS nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more.

This tutorial describes the installation of an ISPConfig 3 multiserver setup with dedicated web, email, database and two DNS servers all managed trough a single ISPConfig 3 control panel. The setup described below uses five servers and can be extended easily to to a higher number of servers by just adding more servers. E.g. if you want to have two mailservers, do the setup steps from chapter 2 on both of these servers. If you want to set up more web servers, then install ISPConfig on all other web servers in expert mode except of the first one. More…

The first beta version of the upcoming ISPConfig 3.0.4 is available for download. Beta versions are released for testing purposes, it is not recommended to use them on production systems.

ISPConfig 3.0.4 is a major release with many new features and bugfixes.

- New module for virtual server management. It uses OpenVZ containers to virtualize servers. Tutorials for this new module will get released soon. If you want to try it out right now, then you can use the basic setup from this tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-debian-squeeze-amd64

Please be aware that the Debian openvz kernel requires that filesystem quota is disabled. So it is recommended that you dont use a server that hosts websites as virtual machine host, or your websites will loose the quota restriction.

- Added support for nginx (>= 0.8.21) Webserver

Please note that nginx version >= 0.8.21 is required if you want to use ISPConfig 3 with nginx. In addition to that, PHP-FPM has to be installed (Lighttpd’s spawn-fcgi is not supported). For example, installation instructions for nginx/PHP-FPMcan be found here:

Ubuntu 11.04: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-11.04
CentOS 6.0: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-centos-6.0
OpenSUSE 11.4: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-opensuse-11.4

For CGI support, fcgiwrap has to be installed, as shown in chapter 4 on http://www.howtoforge.com/serving-cgi-scripts-with-nginx-on-debian-squeeze-ubuntu-11.04

- Added support for mailman mailinglists
– Added support for IPv6 addresses in websites
– IP addresses can now assigned statically to clients
– Protect web folders with .htaccess / .htpasswd files.

Note: The javascript YUI framework has been replaced with JQuery. If you use custom themes, you will have to modify your theme.
