[HELP] Installation and some questions for Debian.

[joximu]

Hi newbiehost

ok, so you downloaded a .7z oder a .tgz or a .tar.bz2 file?

You need to extract the content first (it's very like to a zip file which is common under windows). If you use the .tgz (=tar.gz) file then it's sure that the extract mechanisms are installed in a almost bare Debian:

tar xvzf file.tgz

will make a folder with the content in it...

Then you will finde the install manual in docs/Debian/INSTALL

Here's a copy of it:

Read from beginning.
With step 4 we start with the extraction...

4) Installation
54 ---------------
55 Make sure you are logged in as root and MySQL is running.

57 1. Untar or unzip the distribution files to a secure directory:
58 # cd /usr/local/src
59 # tar xjvf ispcp-omega-1.1.0.tar.bz2

you have to add the unwritten things: the downloaded file needs to be in /usr/local/src - but frankly speaking - it's not important where you extract the files... :-)

I recommend the absolutely bare Debian installation (maybe only "SSH Server" when asked during Debian setup)... but it also works if you installed a default or even Grafical thing...

MySQL is installed at least with step 3 - so after this step it should run...

Pleas start with this and ask here when a problem arises...
