The following erros mean that another program is using apt-get or another package management. you need to close other program so that ehcp complete its installation. otherwise, ehcp will fail to complete installation.

this is taken from a question and answer:

ehcp is for hosting, you may host domains in ehcp. yourdomain.com can also be hosted on ehcp. this is upon your choice.. if you have already hosting for yourdomain.com, then you may not need to transfer its hosting to ehcp (which runs on your server)/your server..
or you may choose to transfer it to your server, ehcp..

if you dont have already hosting for yourdomain.com, then you should only "redirect " it to your server (ehcp). redirecting means, you set your server ip, as the dns of yourdomain.com. Thus, anyone who wants to reach yourdomain.com will be redirected to your server. You have to redirect to your (this, ehcp-installed) server to host your domain yourdomain.com in your server.. this is so called hosting..
To redirect: i think You should use "transfer dns to webhost" feature. you should be able to write ips too.. if you cant, look something "register dns server" on your namecheap domain control panel... there should be something like this..... it have to be... then register your own dns server with ns.yourdomain.com for single dns server, or ns1.yourdomain.com, ns2.yourdomain.com if you need two dns server, these may have same ip... if you have difficulty in doing this, i may help you...

we come to ehcp:
ehcp does not require a domainname to host inside it.. ehcp may be hosted on a server ip directly.... buf if you want, you may also copy its files to some domain's hosting space and run it from there... but you dont have to do so... for instance, you may do:
1- first, run ehcp from your servers ip
2- create your domain yourdomain.com using ehcp, redirect your domains dns to your server ip...
3- copy your files under yourdomain.com domain in your server, such as yourdomain.com/ehcp .. (copy files under /var/www/vhosts/ehcp/* to /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/)

this way, your ehcp runs from nowon on your server, under your domain account...


Another similar answer:
you need to register your domain in a domain seller, then redirect your domain to your server as dns..

you need to register your server as dns server in your domain seller.
domain seller's usually have sections like register dns.

Go to register dns,
enter ns1.yourdomain.com to name, and your external/real server ip as dns ip.
you may use same ip for both ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com

Unfortunately, some domain sellers does not allow same ip for ns1 and ns2. In this case, you need either a secondary ip for your server, or you need to port your domain to another domain seller/registrar..

Additionally:
* if you are using your server to access you pages, that is hosted on same server/ehcp, then make sure that you checked checkbox at settings, "This machine is used for Desktop access too (Update hosts file with domains) " - placed on top of settings.. Otherwise, you wont be able to see your domains on your local server...

* if you are on same internal Local Area Network - LAN as your server that you installed ehcp, then you wont be able to access your domains until you update your hosts file (linux/windows) with info like domains at /etc/hosts. Please be sure that this is a case only you are on same lan as your server. (Used by some companies..)

ehcp uses basically debian's package manager, apt-get,
so, any operating system that has apt-get support, can be used to install ehcp onto.

debian, ubuntu, kubuntu and so on... can be used to install ehcp.

i have no idea if mac OS X has apt-get ?

anyway, if you can run apt-get on OS X or any other linux/unix, then you may install ehcp..

see you.

ehcp can be used in one of following ways, for ubuntu, for debian or any apt-get enabled OS:

1- complete web hosting automation for a single server,
2- dns management
3- ftp hosting, management,
4- email hosting, email management,
5- apache management, only web hosting,
6- web Application development using ehcp Application class structure,
7- mysql-to-dns convertor,
8- mysql-to-ftp, mysql-to-apache, mysql-mail management and so on...

these items can be used individually, when others are disabled , using ehcp codebase...

following error occured sometime:
php mysql extension is not installed.... this is a serious problem.

this means that php mysql extension did not installed somehow...
this is a serious problem, as it is written.

solution:
you have to install php mysql extension manually as:
apt-get install php5-mysql

if any error occurs, you need to solve it manually...
this error is very rare.

Error:
This may mean that your db settings are not correct, you cannot connect to db; or your db/html table has missing rows.

description:
this means either:
you cannot connect to db,
or, your html table has missing rows..

this happens if you changed your mysql ehcp user password, but you did not update your config.php file on your ehcp main dir.

howto fix:
either update your config.php in ehcp main dir,
or change your ehcp mysql pass back to 12345,
or have a look at html table for data... if there is data...


i hope that, in the upcoming version, all password change operations will be automatized... thus, ehcp will handle all password change operations, including mysql users.. mysql ehcp user.. this is not the case yet... Currently (ver 0.23.4) you need to update your config.php manually...

it is intended for third party persons, who will sign-up or apply for a new hosting on your ehcp server.

any user can apply for a new hosting,
user himself enters his info,

you only activate account.
it is intended for self-registering for a new hosting account...
