i-MSCP 1.2.17 - Debian 7/8 - Install Error

@mr_racer

You're using an openvz vm

• Your system has only 384 Mo memory
• Your system has only 5 Gio diskspace

It is impossible to install i-MSCP on your system because the MySQL server cannot start. This is due to the following reasons:

• Lack of memory available on your system (MySQL cannot start)
• MySQL SQL root password cannot be set if MySQL server is not running

As reminder, mimimal system requirements for i-MSCP are:

• 1 GHz or faster 32 bits (x86) or 64 bits (x64) processor (recommended)
• 1 Gio memory (minimum) - For heavily loaded servers or high flow is recommended at least 8 Gio
• 1 Gio of available hard disk space (only for i-MSCP and managed services)
• Internet access (at least 100 Mbits/s recommended)
• A file system that supports extended attributes such as ext2, ext3, ext4 and reiserfs

To resume, you should ask your vm provider to increase your memory limit to at least 1 Gio and also give you more diskspace.
