This tutorial shows how to prepare a CentOS 5.5 x86_64server for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to installISPConfig 3. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel thatallows you to configure the following services through a webbrowser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL,BIND nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and

many more.

Please note that this setup does not work for ISPConfig 2! It is valid for ISPConfig 3 only!

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 RequirementsTo install such a system you will need the following:

Download the two CentOS 5.5 DVDs or the eight CentOS 5.5 CDs from a mirror next to you (the list of mirrorscan be found here: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/x86_64/).

a fast Internet connection.

2 Preliminary NoteIn this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and the gateway


4 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

192.168.0.1. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.

3 Install The Base SystemBoot from your first CentOS 5.5 CD (CD 1) or the first CentOS 5.5 DVD. Press <ENTER> at the boot prompt:

It can take a long time to test the installation media so we skip this test here:

The welcome screen of the CentOS installer appears. Click on Next:


5 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

Choose your language next:


6 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

Select your keyboard layout:

I'm installing CentOS 5.5 on a fresh system, so I answer Yes to the question Would you like to initialize

this drive, erasing ALL DATA?


7 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

Now we must select a partitioning scheme for our installation. For simplicity's sake I select Remove linux

partitions on selected drives and create default layout. This will result in a small /boot and a large

/ partition as well as a swap partition. Of course, you're free to partition your hard drive however you like it.

Then I hit Next:

Answer the following question (Are you sure you want to do this?) with Yes:


8 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

On to the network settings. The default setting here is to configure the network interfaces with DHCP, but we are

installing a server, so static IP addresses are not a bad idea... Click on the Edit button at the top right.

In the window that pops up uncheck Use dynamic IP configuration (DHCP) and Enable IPv6 support and

give your network card a static IP address (in this tutorial I'm using the IP address 192.168.0.100 for

demonstration purposes) and a suitable netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0; if you are not sure about the right

values, http://www.subnetmask.info might help you):


9 de 13 08/07/2010 19:52

Set the hostname manually, e.g. server1.example.com, and enter a gateway (e.g. 192.168.0.1) and up to

two DNS servers (e.g. 213.191.92.86 and 145.253.2.75):

Choose your time zone:

I've been messing with clearOS but they are using old versions(like php 5.1.9) of everything it was just not worth that

hassle for a all in one control panel. I've never used ISPconfig but it looks nice.
