DNS Setup

You need to create few records for domain to get started. They are as follows.

Set up ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu

Configure the hostname and hosts

nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain   localhost
# This line should be changed to the correct servername:
127.0.1.1 server1.example.com server1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Then edit the /etc/hostname file:

nano /etc/hostname

server1

Finally, reboot the server to apply the change:

systemctl reboot

Log in again and check if the hostname is correct now with these commands:

root@server1:~$ hostname
server1
root@server1:~$ hostname -f
server1.example.com

Update your system packages before installations

apt update && apt upgrade

Reboot Again

systemctl reboot

Run the autoinstaller

wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --help

wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --use-ftp-ports=40110-40210 --unattended-upgrades

After some time, you will see:

WARNING! This script will reconfigure your complete server!
It should be run on a freshly installed server and all current configuration that you have done will most likely be lost!
Type 'yes' if you really want to continue:

Answer “yes” and hit enter. The installer will now start.

When the installer is finished it will show you the ISPConfig admin and MySQL root password like this:

[INFO] Your ISPConfig admin password is: 5GvfSSSYsdfdYC
[INFO] Your MySQL root password is: kkAkft82d!kafMwqxdtYs
