Install DTC GPL control panel on a Debian GNU-Linux
Hello!
For those who wants to give it a try, here is the best way to have a (fast) setup of the DTC control panel.
First, add the debian repository (select the closest to you):
Tampa (florida) repository:
Code:echo "deb ftp://ftp.gplhost.com/debian stable main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
Code:echo "deb ftp://ftp.gplhost.sg/debian stable main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
Code:apt-get remove exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light nfs-common portmap pidentd pcmcia-cs pppoe pppoeconf ppp pppconfig update-rc.d -f exim remove update-inetd --remove daytime update-inetd --remove telnet update-inetd --remove time update-inetd --remove finger update-inetd --remove talk update-inetd --remove ntalk update-inetd --remove ftp update-inetd --remove discard /etc/init.d/inetd reload
Code:apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-tls sasl2-bin libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libapache-mod-php4 mlmmj pure-ftpd-mysql awstats courier-authmysql courier-imap courier-pop courier-maildrop php4 php4-cgi php4-cli apache squirrelmail phpmyadmin gawk php4-gd
Code:dpkg-reconfigure php4-mysql dpkg-reconfigure php4-gd
Code:apt-get install dtc
Locales:
- add all the languages you wish to be supported by the webmail
- set en_US as default if possible
Courier-base:
- Create directories for web-based administration -> yes
Postfix:
- Internet Site
- Mail name -> mx.your-domain.com (example: mx.foobar.com)
- my destination -> hit enter (mx.foobar.com must be there)
phpmyadmin:
- Select apache only
For others, either it doesn't mater, or the default option is just ok.
That's all folks! I just hope this will help to make our panel a bit more popular here, and maybe bring more contributors.

I don't know what happened with you all, I didn't think it was that hard to setup, and if you follow the howto very carefully it's a succesfull install. I suggest that you follow the howto in the project's wiki (I can't post it here, but it's easy to find): it's more up-to-date.
If you want to use MySQL 4.1 you need to use the CVS version as the stable one has some issues with dependencies.
I do not recommand to use Proftpd as it's a known security issue in itself (Proftpd had many security issues in the past).
If you contact me by MSN, I'll be happy to help. I don't want that you have a bad feeling only because of little issues when installing. Could you all say what is the configuration you are using ? (i.e: distrib, installed software, etc...)

It's not worth to even try anymore if i can't get it even installed then who says it will even work in the end.
Have a great day

I'm sorry if it didn't work for you. I do about 1 setup every day without any issue.
Just saying what we give for free is bad because you are not good enough to do the setup is IMHO very silly, even more when I propose you some help and try to find out what the problem is (and when you don't tell what the error was). Also, saying the work of many people is bad when you couldn't try, and evaluate, is silly too.
Last, you might try to lear how to write: what you say is almost unreadable, and that is disrepect as well. That also makes me think that maybe you have problems to read as well and that's why you got stucked, when it was no problem for the majority of users (about 2000 download per month).

well im sorry that you can't understand what i write to bad for you.
I didn't mean that it sucks its just very enoying when none of the guides is working after almost 2 weeks of reading and reading and reading and to spend some more time i read and read and read.
Well i don't get you either how come so many people complaining about installation isn't working like it should.
And if there isn't any errors with installation then just wait and see there is going to be alot problems with other stuff like FTP and MySQL and Bind9.
Well i have post alot error message latly i never was on the board for DTC panel becuse i tought nobody would see my post anyway.
Have been going trow alot communites that never answer any quastions so i didn't even want to bather.
By the way have a great day and good luck with your software...

Anyway, tryingi "dtc.my.adress.here" say "server not found" ( My Firefox sayys it in finnish, so I don't know what it exactly in english.) Anyway, Server is virtual server (Debian), so, it's not my "own", but I have a root accept to a server.

This sounds like the site is not resolving. Check the DNS config.

This has nothing to do with your .htaccess
Check that dtc.your-domain-name.com is resolving correctly using "host" under linux or "nslookup" under windows.

That tutorial is *VERY* old, it was written at the time when Sarge was the stable Debian. Since then things have evolved, and this package has been replaced by others.
Also, our procedure is now a lot more simple. Simply add our repository, and type:
apt-get install dtc-toaster
then run the installer: /usr/share/dtc/admin/install/install
Note that you have to have your hostname set correctly with something like mx.your-domain.com (check for it with uname -n) and that it's best to have debconf set to medium priority (dpkg-reconfigure debconf) before setting-up the panel so you can answer things for pure-ftpd, postfix and other that wouldn't show otherwise.
Also, you might want to check our wiki that is always up-to-date with the latest procedure.

Here's a way to access dtc via ip rather than through a vhost
instead of opening http://dtc.foo.com use https://ip.of.ser.ver
so if your domain dtc.foo.com is supposed to point at 172.17.139.24 just type in https://172.17.139.24/
Note that this is https, not http

got it all working except....
I have it all working on debian Etch (I used the step-by-step on your website instead of the one listed here, because it did not work and after 6 times of reinstalling debian I needed to go to sleep lol) except POP3, in the control panel it states that POP3 is not working.....
any ideas would be great, and please be gentle, I'm a newbie when it comes to linux and admin.... (figured the best way to learn is to force myself to admin my own server, for personal reasons of course).

Hi,
This is not really the place to request for such specific support. Go on our forums if you can.
By the way, for your problem, you got to create at least one email, so the control panel can test for it, otherwise it will always complain about it.
