---> Methods 2: Install Zpanelx manually


<-> Step 1. Same as the first step in Method 1, Make sure you have all the latest security updates for Ubuntu Server 12.04 by running following commands

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50880014/zpanelx-master.tar.gz


<-> Step 4. Extract zpanelx-master.tar.gz anywhere and run file prepare.sh

sudo tar -zxvf zpanelx-master.tar.gz

cd zpanel-master/etc/build

sudo chmod +x prepare.sh


<-> Step 5. Now copy all file and folder in the directory zpanel-master into /etc/zpanel/panel

sudo cp -R ../../* /etc/zpanel/panel/


<->Step 6. Copy configuration file for ubuntu server 12.04 into directory /etc/zpanel/configs

sudo cp -R /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/build/config_packs/ubuntu_12_04/* /etc/zpanel/configs/


<-> Step 7. Set permisson phpmyadmin configuration file (config.ic.php)

chmod 644 /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php


<-> Step 8. Install the base packages Apache,MySQL and PHP5

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-bw php5-common php5-suhosin php5-cli php5-mysql php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-curl php-pear php5-imap php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl libdb4.8 zip webalizer

sudo nano /etc/zpanel/panel/cnf/db.php

$host = "localhost";
$dbname = "zpanel_core";
$user = "root";
$pass = "YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD";

mysql -u root -p YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD < /etc/zpanel/configs/zpanel_core.sql


<-> Step 10. Configure Apache2 :

To add the ZPanel generated Apache2 config, we need to add the following line:-

edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

comment out:

#Include sites-enabled/

add at bottom:

Include /etc/zpanel/configs/apache/httpd.conf

Set ZPanel Network info and compile the default vhost.conf by running following commands

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso –set zpanel_domain CONTROLPANEL.YOURDOMAIN.COM

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso --set zpanel_domain preciseserver

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso –set server_ip YOUR_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS

sudo /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/setso --set server_ip 192.168.56.2

sudo php /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/daemon.php


<-> Step 11. Install and configure postfix-dovecot

sudo apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql dovecot-mysql dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common libsasl2-modules-sql libsasl2-modules

sudo mkdir -p /var/zpanel/vmail

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/zpanel/vmail

sudo chmod -R g+s /var/zpanel/vmail

sudo groupadd -g 5000 vmail

sudo useradd -m -g vmail -u 5000 -d /var/zpanel/vmail -s /bin/bash vmail

sudo chown -R vmail.vmail /var/zpanel/vmail

mysql -u root -p YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD < /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/zpanel_postfix.sql

# Config Postfix Master.cf

echo "# Dovecot LDA" >> /etc/postfix/master.cf

echo "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe" >> /etc/postfix/master.cf

echo ' flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}' >> /etc/postfix/master.cf

Edit the following file and add mysql root and password, you can use nano editor

    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/dovecot-sql.conf
    sudo nano/etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_relay_domains_maps.cf
    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf
    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
    sudo nano /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/mysql_virtual_transport.cf

sudo mv /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.old

sudo ln /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf

sudo mv /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.old

sudo ln -s /etc/zpanel/configs/dovecot2/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Edit file /etc/zpanel/configs/postfix/conf/main.cf

myhostname = YOUR_DOMAIN
mydomain   = YOUR_DOMAIN

Reboot your computer


<-> Step 12. Configure roundcube

mysql -u root -p YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD < /etc/zpanel/configs/roundcube/zpanel_roundcube.sql

edit file /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/webmail/config/db.inc.php

nano /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/webmail/config/db.inc.php

Edit this line

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://root:YOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD@localhost/zpanel_roundcube';


<-> Step 13. Install and configure FTP server ProFTPD

sudo apt-get install proftpd-mod-mysql (When asked what mode, choose 'stand-alone')

mysql -uroot -pYOUR_ROOT_MYSQL_PASSWORD < /etc/zpanel/configs/proftpd/zpanel_proftpd.sql

sudo groupadd -g 2001 ftpgroup

sudo useradd -u 2001 -s /bin/false -d /bin/null -c "proftpd user" -g ftpgroup ftpuser

Edit /etc/zpanel/configs/proftpd/proftpd-mysql.conf, replace with your credentials:

You can use your MySQL root account if you wish or create a new restricted user account as you wish!

SQLConnectInfo zpanel_proftpd@localhost root your_root_password

sudo mv /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.backup

sudo touch /etc/proftpd.conf

sudo echo "include /etc/zpanel/configs/proftpd/proftpd-mysql.conf" >> /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

sudo touch /var/zpanel/logs/proftpd

sudo chmod -R 644 /var/zpanel/logs/proftpd


<-> Step 14. Install and Configure BIND DNS server

sudo apt-get install bind9 bind9utils

sudo mkdir /var/zpanel/logs/bind

sudo touch /var/zpanel/logs/bind/bind.log

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/zpanel/logs/bind/bind.log

sudo echo "include \"/etc/zpanel/configs/bind/etc/log.conf\";" >> /etc/bind/named.conf

sudo echo "include \"/etc/zpanel/configs/bind/etc/named.conf\";" >> /etc/bind/named.conf

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/named-checkconf /usr/bin/named-checkconf

sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/named-checkzone /usr/bin/named-checkzone

sudo chmod +s /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/zsudo


<-> Step 16. Configure the CRON job for the zdaemon

sudo touch /etc/cron.d/zdaemon

sudo echo "*/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/php -q /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/daemon.php >> /dev/null 2>&1" >> /etc/cron.d/zdaemon

sudo chmod 644 /etc/cron.d/zdaemon
