When i have a little more Time at the Weekend i will make an Testinstall.

[KeNt]

can anybody test it?

I've installed it and played around a little....:

Good things I've seen:
- DNS Management (allowing you to set it as master or slave)
- Amavis/spamassassin etc. installed by default, but you can enable or disable it on a per-domain basis
- Configuration of postfix as gateway (relay)
- Usage of logax to simplify apache logging

Bad things:
- No bundled webmail
- FTP server didn't install (I haven't looked much into this...)
- The GUI wants to be too much cool and ends up being a slow javascript mess
- 3 root or highly privileged running daemons (I installed from binary sources so I can't tell if the code looks clean/awful/whatever):

Code:

root     19525     1  0 14:20 pts/6    00:00:00 /var/opencore/bin/swupd
root     19509     1  0 14:20 pts/6    00:00:00 /var/opencore/bin/authd
opencore 19586     1  0 14:20 pts/6    00:00:01 /var/opencore/bin/opencore

That's my first quick impresion... any questions?

The bad things are really bad, bad enough to not make me try it (at least for now), and the good things for me that could be in ispCP would be spamassassin and postfix as relay, because DNS most clients don't use it and the ones who want/know how to use it usually buy to eNom, GoDaddy, etc. (where they can do this) and logax, I haven't heard, so I can't really say if it's needed or not

I haven't installed it but from the demos it seem too much work per domain creation. You need to create different things in the right user (user, domain etc).

It seems modelled too closely to the underlying system instead of being "easy" for the customer.
