ispmanager installation guide

Preparation

Before starting the installation, make sure that your server meets the system requirements.

ispmanager installation 

1. Connect to the server via SSH with the superuser permissions.

2. Download the installation script:

   wget https://download.ispmanager.com/install.eu.sh -O install.eu.sh

   If wget is not installed

   Install it using one of the commands: 

   For Debian-based systems

   apt install wget

   For RH-based systems

   yum install wget

3. Run the script:

   sh install.eu.sh

   If you want to activate the ispmanager license during the installation or skip the step-by-step software selection, use the installation parameters.

4. Select an update branch by typing b or s:

   

   • b) beta — a branch with the latest updates but still in beta testing
   • s) stable — a branch that successfully passed beta testing

5. Select ispmanager edition by typing 1 or 2:

   

   • 1) ispmanager lite, pro, host with recommended software
   • 2) ispmanager lite, pro, host with minimal software
   The recommended software that will be installed depends on the amount of RAM on the server.

6. For ispmanager lite, pro, host with recommended software, select the web server by typing 1, 2 or 3:

   

   • 1) Nginx + Apache (MPM-ITK)
   • 2) OpenLiteSpeed (not available for CloudLinux OS)
   • 3) LiteSpeed (commercial web server)

7. For ispmanager lite, pro, host with recommended software, select the database type for the panel by typing 1 or 2:

   

   • 1) SQLite — for 5–10 sites and 5–10 users

   • 2) MySQL — recommended for projects with more than 5–10 sites and 5–10 users

     MySQL Governor will be installed for CloudLinux OS along with MySQL to prevent errors when converting the utility or installing it separately.

   URL: https://IP address:1500/ispmgr
   Login: root
   Password: root password
