Not sure if anyone has tried to replace the php4 and mysql*4.1 with the newer versions of php5 and mysql*5 (i.e. removing the 4.1) on Dapper?
Trying it now... will update to see if it works fine.

I use php5 and mysql5 -> http://wael.nasreddine.com/phpinfo.php but I don't run ubuntu nor debian, I run my own distribution, The reason i kept vhcs.sh use php/mysql 4 is coz before dapper was out, there was no php5-mcrypt package, now there is one but only for dapper, Also I'm saying it should in theory but I appreciate it if you replace all php4 with php5 and mysql4 with mysql5 and install on a fresh ubuntu installation, If everything is ok, i'll update my script

I think so far everything is ok on Dapper. I've not done extensive testing yet, but adding resellers and customers seem to be ok.
I'll be testing it more over the next few days... perhaps someone could also try in parallel.

Only thing to note is the php-pear package... instead of php4-pear or php5-pear.

Is there any way you can make your script detect the distro, and if Dapper use 5 else use 4?

Also, I think it would be advisable to automatically install libapache2-mod-chroot and perhaps giving users running the script the option of enabling it?
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_chroot.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ (I'm sure you already know this)

can you please put a phpinfo(); file and send me a link (here or in private) to see if everything normal, and yes please do more tests

Thx for pointing this out, will save me a lot of time since I don't have any ubuntu installation ATM

that's already done, the script will install on Ubuntu breezy, Ubuntu dapper and debian (general)

Also, I think it would be advisable to automatically install libapache2-mod-chroot and perhaps giving users running the script the option of enabling it?
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_chroot.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ (I'm sure you already know this)

I don't go this deep actually, I leave all that to the user option, the script's job is to give the user a VHCS installation ready for buisness in a few clicks, also I extended it later to install what we called Hacks, but i'm not planning to go any deeper than that

Okay i will verify it, and add it to the patches section in the script, thx

Seems like vhcs2 doesn't quite like mod_chroot... I will have to figure it out again all the necessary hacks in order to make vhcs2 operate in a jail environment.
Or does someone else already know how to? Please share it!

This is the phpinfo I extracted from my trial vhcs server and placed it on a live server.

Looks pretty alright to me... will wait to hear from you.

Thank you for this wonderfull tutorial and this FAQ which works fine and help a lot.

I use vhcs 2.4 beta version build 03-2005-21
I have some trouble about domain statistics. It does not work.
Everething is 0.00 B in reseller and user screen.

I discovered that the /etc/init.d/vhcs-network daemon did not start.
here is the log message:

bind: Address already in use
ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable

Is there a way to find that adress and change it ?
What can i do to solve that situation ?

Thanks.

Hello I have the same issue after upgrading from 5.10 to 6.06 LTS...Any Help...please...!!!


Thanks in advise.

Hi Gandalf!

I just tried do install VHCS by using your script, but it seems like the server is down.

I can still ping wael.nasreddine.com and access it by FTP but I always get "Connection reset by peer" when I try to access it by HTTP.
Maybe you could solve this problem...

Does anyone else have a copy of the script? The site has been down for a few days at least
