Chapter 4: An Initial Internet-Ready Environment
ISPConfig itself does not provide a command-line interface. Instead, it lets you man-
age servers though a web-based administrative interface, or panel, described later in
this chapter. You’ll have to do some command-line work at the beginning of the
chapter, when setting up ISPConfig so it can install everything else subsequently, but
in later sections we’ll focus entirely on this visual interface.
ISPConfig’s web application panel simplifies the execution of many Linux adminis-
trative tasks, but it’s important to know how to use standard command-line utilities
to accomplish the same results. We’ll cover those topics in later chapters. You won’t
be tied to ISPConfig; if you choose to do without it, you will have the knowledge to
do so.
Installing ISPConfig
ISPConfig comes from Projektfarm GmbH. Till Brehm and Falko Timme developed
the application, which they originally sold as a proprietary system marketed on http://
42go.de. Now you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ispconfig.
The project configures these services:
httpd (virtual hosts, domain-based and IP-based)
FTP
BIND
POP3 autoresponder
MySQL client databases
Webalizer statistics
Hard disk quotas
Mail quotas
Traffic limits
IP addresses
SSL
SSI
Shell access
Mailscanner (antivirus)
Firewall
