4) Installation
---------------
Make sure you are logged in as root and MySQL is running.
1. Untar or unzip the distribution files to a secure directory:
# cd /root
# tar xjvf ispcp-omega-1.0.1.tar.bz2

2. Change to the newly created directory:

# cd ./ispcp-omega-1.0.1

3. Install the required modules

First update your system:
# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

for Debian Sarge use:

# apt-get install $(cat ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-sarge)
for Debian Etch use:
# apt-get install $(cat ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-etch)
for Debian Lenny/Sid use:
# apt-get install $(cat ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-lenny)

Make sure you have added the non-free into your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib

non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
non-free

If using Sarge, make sure you have added the following backport into your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

# backports
deb http://dotdeb.pimpmylinux.org/ sarge all

(when you get to the courier screen select 'no' to web directories)
(when you get to the postfix screen select 'internet site' and then type
'root'
for mail. If you've set debian up correctly on install your domain should
be
already on screen. Select 'no' to force sync updates.)
(when you get to the proftpd screen, select 'standalone')

4. (optional) Check the ispcp.conf and adapt it to your requirements.

5. Build the System by using make:

# make install

6. Copy all the directories into your system (you may make backups)
# cp -Rv /tmp/ispcp/* /

7. Change or create MySQL root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root
login remotely, remove test database (and access to it), reload privilege
tables.
# mysql_secure_installation

8. Now it's time to set up the frontend. Change into the engine directory and
start the engine setup:
# cd /var/www/ispcp/engine/setup
# perl ispcp-setup
