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 step you need to perform to install ISPmanager.

License activation 

License types are described in this article.

A trial license is activated automatically after you have installed ISPmanager on the servers. You don't need to order a license. 

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

If the server runs behind the NAT and IP address is assigned to its network interface, the ISPmanager license will be activated during the installation. For more information please refer to the article License IP address.

Note
If the server runs behind the NAT, and the IP address is not specified for the license or the license IP address is not assigned to its network interface, you need to activate your license with a key. Learn more in this article.

Installation

Note
Before you start, check the wget utility is installed on the server. Also make sure SELinux is disabled, as it may disturb the correct operation of the control panel.

Installation steps: 

  1. Connect to the server via SSH with the superuser permissions (root). 
  2. Download the installation script: 
    wget https://download.ispmanager.com/install.eu.sh -O install.eu.sh
  3. Start the script:
    • Execute the following command to install the latest version of the control panel: 
      sh install.eu.sh
    • To install ISPmanager with a trial license or a license with key activation: 
      sh install.eu.sh --ispmgr6
    • To install a specific version, execute install.sh with the parameter --release, e.g.: 
      sh install.eu.sh --release 6.40.1 ISPmanager --ispmgr6
  4. Select a version:
    • stable — a stable version which used to be in the beta-testing phase and now is successfully released;
    • beta — a version with the latest updates, however still in the beta-testing phase.
      The installation script will connect two ISPmanager repositories: ispsystem-base.repo is used for installing additional software, ispsystem.repo is used for installing ISPmanager control panels.
