Prerequisites
OpenPanel is designed to be installed on a clean server. Having packages installed is not a problem, but having their configuration modified can be a problem. Especially products like cPanel and DirectAdmin tend to modify configuration files to an extent where they’re no longer usable for other software.OpenPanel supports the following platforms:
- Debian 5 “Lenny”
- Debian 6 “Squeeze”
- Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid”
- Ubuntu 10.10 “Maverick”
Installation
To install OpenPanel, add the following lines to your/etc/apt/sources.list
:deb http://download.openpanel.com/deb/ <distribution> main deb-src http://download.openpanel.com/deb/ <distribution> mainwhere
<distribution>
should be replaced by the code name for your distribution. e.g. lenny
, squeeze
or wheezy
for Debian, or lucid
, maverick
, natty
, oneiric
or precise
for Ubuntu.Then start the installation with the following commands. Make sure you execute these commands as user root. If you’re not root, type
sudo -i
first.apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4EAC69B9 apt-get update aptitude install openpanel-suggestedIf exim4 is currently installed on your system, aptitude will suggest removing it. If so, aptitude will ask you to confirm this. Enter
y
when asked to do so.During installation, you may be asked about the configuration for postfix. Set it to ‘internet site’ with all defaults.
If the apt-key step fails, try:
wget -O- http://openpa.nl/key | apt-key add -If the install-step fails, try repeating
aptitude install -f
to resolve iffy dependencies.After installation you will need to set the password for the
openpanel-admin
user before you can log in through the gui. The installation procedure may ask you for a password. If not, start openpanel-cli
(as root) and enter the following command:[openpanel]% password user openpanel-adminThe OpenPanel GUI can be reached via https on port 4089 of your machine.
Upgrading
Upgrading via the Software tab in the GUI is currently not entirely reliable. For a full upgrade (to 1.1, for example), do this:apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
