Hello ;

As root try

Shell-Script

# chattr -R -i /var/www/virtual

Once it's done, rerun the i-MSCP installer.

I performed the command you suggested. But got the same error from i-MSCP installer.

It seems that the installer sets the immutable flag before chmod the directories

Re ;

Please add my SSH key to your server and give me the IP. Thanks

So now the update completed.

I did a

Code

watch lsattr /var/www

during the installation and changed the attribute back

Code

chattr -i /var/www/virtual

when it was set.

Then the installation finished.

Ok but something is wrong in your setup because the installer (nor the engine) sets the immutable bit on the /var/www/virtual directory normally. I'll check with a new setup to be sure that it's not a bug.

**Nuxwin** · Dec 11th 2014

Bug confirmed. See i-MSCP 1.1.19 released

**boe** · Dec 11th 2014

Problem solved with release 1.1.20.

Installation worked like a charm

Thanks for your help!
