Fresh install un Debian 9.7 fails with "missing or invalid $host parameter"

  • Hi community,


    I am currently trying to migrate an existing server, but ran into a problem I cannot seem to fix. I simplified it to the following vanilla setup:

    • Clean, current install of a Debian 9.7 base system
    • Pulled the current version from git (on commit 87a25c9, as of 2019-02-04)
    • Started perl imscp-autoinstall -dc
    • Choices: auto install, proftpd, MariaDB 10.1, Bind 9, PHP 7.3, Apache2 FPM, Courier, entered hostname (which is in /etc/hosts).

    Installer fails with

    Code
    1. [ERROR]
    2. Error while performing step: 
    3.  Processing setup dialog 
    4.  Error was: 
    5.  iMSCP::Stepper::_callback: Missing or invalid $host parameter at /usr/local/src/imscp/engine/PerlLib/Servers/sqld/mysql/installer.pm line 798. 


    Here are the last lines of the imscp-setup.log:

    I feel that I'm missing something obvious here. Any advice?

  • Pulled the current version from git (on commit 87a25c9, as of 2019-02-04)

    Don't use git (development branch).
