Installation guide

Installation guide

You can install ispmanager on a dedicated server or virtual machine created on hypervisor-based virtualization or OVZ container virtualization. Your server must meet the requirements described in the article Server requirements. This article walks you through the steps you need to perform to install ispmanager.

License activation 

License types are described in the article Types of licences.

A trial license needs to be activated in your ispmanager account after you have installed ispmanager on your server. You do not need to order a license.

If you want to use a commercial version you first need to purchase the license. During the purchase, specify the public IP address of the server where the control panel will be installed.

If the server does not run behind the NAT and an IP address is assigned to its network interface, the ispmanager license will be activated automatically during the installation. For more information, please see the article License IP address.

If the server runs behind the NAT, or an IP address is not specified for the license or the license IP address is not assigned to its network interface, activate your license with a key. For more information, please see the article Activating a license with a key.

Installation

Ispmanager business is at the EOL stage, and can only be installed using installation parameters.

During the ispmanager installation, SELinux is disabled on the server, as it may disturb the correct operation of the panel.
  1. Connect to the server via SSH. 
  2. Download the installation script: 
    wget https://download.ispmanager.com/install.eu.sh -O install.eu.sh
    If wget is not installed, install it.
    Details
    Command for Debian-based systems
    apt install wget
    Command for RH-based systems
    yum install wget
  3. Start the script with the parameter: 
    sh install.eu.sh --install-business
    To skip the step-by-step software selection, use the nstallation parameters.
  4. Select the update branch:
    • b) beta version — a version with the latest updates, but still in beta-testing
    • s) stable version — a stable version that successfully passed beta-testing

    The installation script will automatically connect two ispmanager repositories:

    • ispsystem-base.repo — to install base software
    • ispsystem.repo — to install ispmanager specific version
  5. Wait for the installation to complete. The panel will be available at: 
    URL: https://<server IP address>:1500/ispmgr
Login: root
Password: <root password>
