ehcp in non-debian linux

[simeon.mattes]

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask if it is possible to install ehcp in other linux distributions, like slackware. I have noticed during the installation on an ubuntu machine that it is possible but I have to do it manually.

Are there any instructions?

No, there aren't any instructions.
We even do not know if it is possible.

What you need: same packages in other distro, install them and configure manually..
the list of packages may be found in install_lib.php

this is a possible but hard task...
if same packages do not exist in other distro, installing ehcp is almost impossible..

Thanks for your reply. I have seen during the installation that a lot of staff are been doing. So, I'll think it again... Actually I was trying to find an open source hosting control panel for linux and I haven't tested it yet. Although I have installed it I couldn't use it easily, because it redirected me continuously to the login page. Probably I have done something wrong.

And something more. How it came and there is no deb package for installation? Then it would be possible, I think, to install it even in distros which use rpm package manager.

I suggest you to install ehcp in Ubuntu.
you can install and use it in Ubuntu easily.

deb package:
* ehcp is not deb package yet, an installation script exists, install.sh in gzipped installation file, installs everything.
* Either I failed to build a usable deb package, or I dont know to build it..
* Or I think I found a new/alternative way, to install under ubuntu/debian, with some failover capabilities.. On some systems, some packages are not found. If I did it with deb, the installation would completely fail. In current install.sh script, installation continues even some packages are not found. This is useful sometime. So, I do not prefer deb package yet..
If somebody tells me howto a deb package that supports following:
* a package that installs many things, if possible,
* do not abort installation even if something is not found,
* run some configuration scripts at end of installation,
then, i will make a deb package, or anybody whos is good at package maintenance may build this for us..

I should say that, preparing a package in ubuntu/debian is not so easy..
