    Hi,


    i try to install the trunk with a user that has no experience with ispCP/i-msCP.


    The result: He had to quit, because the documentation is not clearly understood.


    1.) In the docs stand

    Code
    1. Install by running the imscp-autoinstall script./imscp-autoinstall


    That is wrong, the file is not an executable. So the user was a little bit confused.
    Better write

    Code
    1. perl ./imscp-autoinstall (i fixed it in trunk)


    2.) The Package "lsb-release" is not installed on most images that isp´s deliver to her users. It should be mentioned clearly what are the minimum requirements. Here the user always was confused, because the autoinstaller say "lsb_release" are not installed, but it means "lsb-release"


    3.) The setup ask for the fqdn. At this point the User must break the setup, because the system has a fqdn, also he enter another fqdn manually, but the system don´t accept them :dodgy:


    It was not clear what the system complains.

    1. I`ll check, but imscp-autoinstall should be executable. Anyway, thank you now is safer :)
    2. Fixed in 5326. lsb-release package containing lsb_release command supposed to be installed automatically. Now will be installed automatically :D
    3. A fqdn is what wiki define as fqdn:

    Quote

    is a domain name that specifies its exact location in the tree hierarchy of the Domain Name System (DNS). It specifies all domain levels, including the top-level domain and the root domain. A fully qualified domain name is distinguished by its unambiguity; it can only be interpreted one way.

    There are accepted only ICANN defined top levels domain: com, net etc, but not home, mine, bleah as tld`s. With debug = 1 will also accept test and bogus as tld.

    Why only ICANN TLDs? .de, .ws, .io and so on are also regular TLDs that can be used for FQDN or RDNS. This should be fixed...

    Hi,


    the system has a fqdn (name.domain.com), so i dont know why the installer already block and mean that it is not a fgdn in this situation.


    I will try later on my own dev system.

    .de works also :)


    The ICAN list include not all worldwide allowed tld´s.


    I think we must create an extra config for enter also allowed tld´s
