Problem getting ispcp to work please help

[Adel]

hello everybody
I just uninstalled my old vhcs2 2.4.7.1 and i am using debian etch 4,
I followed the instructions for the installation and it says at the end
installed successfully , but when i write the address: admin.server.mydomain.com
all i got is the php code page , it looks like it is the index.html page but what
i see is not the page it is php Code and i don't understand why this happen.
I tested proftpd,bind9,everything sound normal only one not working right
after this installation is apache2, and was working ok before i install it.
at least now i found a forum to help me, before i can't do anything because
i couldn't find any help and plus this is the only control panel that i like and
i hope to get it working after i uninstalled the other one which that was the main
problem with my old one too (vhcs2) that is why i installed ispcp RC3.
Please any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Why didn't you try the update?

Ok, you run vhcs2 2.4.7.1 on a debian etch?
then you uninstalled the vhcs2? (what exactly?)
Now you want to instal ispcp? - is there a reason why not make a fresh debian installation? otherwise I think there are packages missing (or two much)...

Can you post the output of

Code:

dpkg -l | grep "apache\|php"

/J

Thanks very much for fast reply
The reson to update is the /setup/iscp-update script does not want to run it gives me "command not found", i even tried "reset" the same thing, i used the vhcs2-uninstall to uninstall it, it was installed long time ago, untill i heard about ispcp so i uninstalled it because it was giving the same page php code.
here is the output :

server1:~#
Note : now when i restart apache2 it says Waiting...
then gives me server1#
which i think that means it is working now, but when i write:
http://www.mydomain.com ( i got the php source code page)
admin.server1.mydomain.com (i got Server not found )
if i try only server1.mydomain.com (i got server not found)
Thanks alot for your help

ok, so you will run apache with mpm-prefork and mod-php5.
The suggested variation is mpm-worker and php-fastcgi... (see other threads about pros and cons).

So, if apache is not starting or handling php then we should have logfiles there... is there nothing of interest?

about the URL: the hostname admin.server1.domain.com and server1.domain.com must resolve - I don't know the DNS situation of your installation - but check if you can resolve the 2 names...

There is a guide to upgrade vhcs to ispCP.

If you try to start the updatescript change to /setup folder and run:

perl ispcp-update

Hello joximu
Thanks again and thanks for you time.
apache2 now starts and says :
reloading apache2 waiting....
server1#
is that means it is running ? by the way i didn't add any virual host file yet
like for kandkmarket.com could this be a reason for that ? or the ispcp.conf takes care of this ?
also i start to doubt mysql so how can i test it to see if it is running right ?
and i looked at the /var/log files also apache2 log there is no errors for
my information.
I don't want to confuse you with my questions but just is it a good idea to uninstall ispcp and reinstall again?
and how to do that ?
Thanks again very much

The easiest way is to make a clean install of Debian 4 and then follow the installguide in the Wiki.

Thanks gOOvER
OK and to do that do i need to format the hard drive ? or just insert
the debian etch and it will format it and partition it anyway?
Thanks again

Sorry to say this, but this is basic knowledge and this has nothing to do with ispCP. So we don't support such questions. Please ask google.

Hi gOOvER

when i clicked on the forum in my favorites .
Thanks anyway for your help.
