Comments on: VHCS ISP Control Panel Installation With Screenshots

Razor7′s code works (on Debian 5 - Lenny), but beware of the ‘ ‘ characters - make sure that they are straight and not curly.

Also ensure that your base server IP is not 127.0.0.1 unless you are installing VHCS for use on a home system. - For remote (eg: webhost-based systems) this needs to be one of the IP addresses used for accessing your website, and can be amended later in vhcs2.conf (etc/vhcss/) if need be.

Finally, you will need to generate a server certificate (if you don’t already have one) in order to access VHCS through HTTPS (remember, it is a control panel and, as such, can be used as an access point for your server by an attacker… so you don’t want to be accessing it through unsecured connections).

I’ve another problem… I install vhcs2, fix it with var/lib/dpkg/info/vhcs.postinst at line 1887 and vhcs2_common_code.pl “‘keysize’ => ‘32?,”.

I do everything that is write on this page and installation is complete, but in http://your-server-ipaddress/vhcs2/ I see empty page (thers nothing), no errors. I think that is problem whith mysql but I don’t kwon how to check it…

any ideas?

Further to the post by razor7, you can do “apt-get install vhcs*” as an install step.

Hi,
This source “deb http://apt.scunc.org/ sarge main” and
this one “deb http://apt.k-inet.de/ sarge main”
doesn’t work.

What other source have I use?

# apt-get install vhcs
Ubuntu users maybe run into an error caused in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/vhcs.postinst at line 1887, just go to that file and edit it to add this line “keysize => 32,”, without quotation marks, just above the line 1888. And also go to /var/www/vhcs2/engine/vhcs2_common_code.pl and edit it, adding this code “‘keysize’ => ’32′,”, without quotation marks, in lines 1411 and 1447. Be advised, DO NOT ERASE ANY LINE, JUST ADD THIS CODE IN THE CORRECT PLACES.

if the tools are not installed (IE phpMyAdmin, webmail, filemanager)just run
# apt-get install vhcs-gui-filemanager
# apt-get install vhcs-gui-pma
# apt-get install vhcs-gui-webmail
# apt-get install vhcs-lang-en
# apt-get install vhcs-lang-es
