I noticed it too.
16.10 comes with php7.0 packages, and does not contains php5 packages.

In vst-install-ubuntu.sh replace (everywhere) php5 to php7.0 and phpMyAdmin to phpmyadmin
and then run again vst-install-ubuntu.sh

Error: apt-get install failed #1681

Operating System (OS/VERSION):

ubuntu 16.04 clean install (server)

VestaCP Version:

Installed Software (what you got with the installer):

none, clean installation

Steps to Reproduce:

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Are you running Ubuntu under Windows10?

Of course, NO!

In your first message you mark as you use ubuntu 16, but your repos say you try use ubuntu 18, your ubuntu isnt fully supported yet

Ok my bad, main site say is supported, I try check it

You use default repost, is a clean install ?

@Skamasle , sorry, ubuntu 18 of course. Yeah, clean install from ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso

16.04
Can’t reproduce on our test servers. Please, try again, and let me know if problem still exists

try an apt-get update, maybe it will fix the issue

try an apt-get upgrade, maybe it will fix the issue

also try to add the multiverse repos, might help.

last thing, try to install the standard server package if you didn’t (this is for 16.04 coudn’t find the 18.04, might work):
apt-get install manpages dnsutils bsdmainutils psmisc python3-gdbm ufw dosfstools ed telnet powermgmt-base ntfs-3g ubuntu-release-upgrader-core iputils-tracepath python3-update-manager groff-base python3-distupgrade bind9-host mtr-tiny bash-completion mlocate tcpdump geoip-database install-info irqbalance language-selector-common friendly-recovery command-not-found info hdparm man-db lshw update-manager-core apt-transport-https accountsservice command-not-found-data python3-commandnotfound time ltrace parted popularity-contest strace ftp ubuntu-standard lsof

I can reproduce this, by default you have only main repos in ubuntu 18.04, ensure you have main restricted universe multiverse thats the problem

Your repo need look like this:

Now update and install, you will not get errors.

Exactly the same as I am getting with CentOS 7 64bit

wish I never decided to reinstall my server now..

Some how i was able to install vestacp on Ubuntu 18.04 with several errors.

The other issue which i have been facing on my old centos 7 and current fresh installed ubuntu server is when ever i try to activate ssl support via let’s encrypt i get this error «Error: Let’s Encrypt validation status 400» no matter what i do this error is not going away even with CLI i get this error on ubuntu

Re: Error While fresh install

Post by liamgibbins » Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:56 pm

I tried to roll back the changes form the last update and tried to install on CentOS 7 64bit with vesta-0.938-23 and still get the same errors.

Going to run webmin until its sorted out, also reported the issue on github so hopefully they pick it up & fix it quickly. 🙂

Re: Error While fresh install

Finally i think it’s time to move instead spending more time on this. Going to try ISPConfig.

There is a fix up on github, awesome speed..

Think I saw a note that this only works with debian 10, and debian 11 is not supported/experimental currently. I have a fresh install that failed once, then I started again and it seemed to almost finish right but errored. I have logs of the whole install, but thought if I shared the errors here maybe it would help future development.

1st run errors:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with —fix-missing?
Error: apt-get install failed

=-=-=-=-
So.. I did some ip checks and they show up, so I did the restart apache2.. then I tried to run the install script again.. I think it did better the second time.. but it got janky and now I think the server can’t get out to the internet / curl, apt-get and such fails now..

=-=-=-===-

here are some errors from the second run:

should I just reinstall deb 11 and do something different or should I just wipe it and switch to debian 10 ?

any ideas? help appreciated.

Wondering how to Install Vesta control panel in Ubuntu? We can help you.

VestaCP offers a simple web-based interface for its users. With VestaCP, we can install more than 439 apps with one click installer.

As part of our Server Management Services, we assist our customers with several Ubuntu queries.

Today, let us see how to install the Vesta control panel in Ubuntu 18.04.

Vesta control panel in Ubuntu

A free, open-source, and powerful website control panel that comes with website, email, database, and DNS functionalities, VestaCP is lightweight, resource-friendly, and easy to install compared to other control panels.

VestaCP offers us:

• A very neat Web interface open-source and written in PHP. So compatibility is a guarantee.
• Vesta core is written in bash. Hence, we can execute 381 commands on Core.
• Its license is GNU GPL3. Its source code can be studied and modified
• A powerful CLI ready to give us control of what happens on the server.
• Commercial plugins.

In order to begin, our Support Techs suggest having a server running Ubuntu 18.04.0 and a root password set up on our server.

Install Vesta control panel in Ubuntu

Initially, we update the system completely to have everything ready.

$ apt update -y
$ apt upgrade -y

Next, we change the hostname of the server since it can be an issue later.

nano /etc/hostname

Then we change the entry from “localhost” to the name of the domain.

Now, we change the hosts’ file to reflect the changes we made:

nano /etc/hosts

Next to the line after “localhost” we add the IP address, hit the tab key then add the domain name.

VestaCP has a pretty competent installer that we have to download using curl.

$ curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh

Once we download it, we can run it with the following command:

$ bash vst-install.sh

This will start the wizard.

The first thing it will ask is our Email and the FQDN of the server.

Then, it will start the whole installation, which will take a while.

When the installation is complete we will be met with a congratulatory message and that you may log in at the address listed above with the username and password provided.

• Test VestaCP on Ubuntu 18.04

Now in order to access the tool, open any web browser and go to https://your-server:8083 where we will see the login screen.

Since it is using a self-signed certificate, we will get an SSL warning. Click to proceed anyway. The exact steps may vary by the web browser.

For Chrome, click Advanced and then click Proceed. Once we’re at the login screen, enter the two credentials displayed in the server console after installation. These credentials will also be emailed to us using the email we entered at the beginning of the install.

• Configure VestaCP

Within the administration console, there are a few changes that we need to make, to get VestaCP to work properly.

We must change the nameserver entries to match the nameservers we created through the domain registrar’s website.

1. Hover the mouse over the admin user and click on edit.
2. Change the Default parameters into the nameservers we created earlier, then save the changes.
3. Now move over to the DNS tab, click on “edit”.
4. Here we must change the “Template” to “child-ns” and the SOA to the first nameserver and save changes. Go back to the DNS tab.
5. Hover once again over your domain but this time click on “List Records”.
6. Scroll all the way down and make sure NS records reflect the nameservers; if not do change them now.
7. On the right side of the top bar is “Packages”, click on that and edit all the tabs.
8. Scroll down to the Name Server options and make the necessary changes.
9. Now go to the domain tab and edit your domain.
10. Check the box labeled “SSL support”, then check the box labeled “Lets Encrypt Support”; then click save, this will generate an SSL certificate.

Note that we may have to wait for up to 72 hours for the DNS records to fully propagate from the domain registrar. Once done, move on to the next step.

Now we will create the SSL certificate for the control panel itself, to do this we need to go back to the SSH terminal and key in the code below.

source /etc/profile PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/vesta/bin && export PATH
v-add-letsencrypt-domain ‘admin’ domainname ” ‘yes’
v-update-host-certificate admin domainname

Now we can access the admin page from our domain name, just be sure to append the port number to it.

We should see no errors by the browser as the SSL certificate has been installed.

Few common errors

Moving ahead, let us have a look at a few errors we may come across during these processes.

• Error: apt-get upgrade failed

While installing VestaCP on Ubuntu, after inputting the install command we may encounter:

Error: apt-get upgrade failed

In order to solve this, we run the command:

# apt-get -f install

Then reinstall the Vesta control panel.

• Connection to IMAP Server Failed

After installing the Vesta control panel, we may receive the following error while accessing the mail account using Roundcube:

Connection to IMAP Server Failed
Authentication is working fine.

In order to solve this:

1. Check whether “inbox=yes” in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf
2. If it is not, run the command:

   # sed -i “s#namespace inbox {#namespace inbox {n inbox = yes#” /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf

3. Then restart dovecot
