ISPConfig is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/best-open-source-hosting-control-panels\/\">open source hosting control panel<\/a> which is very fast, secure and stable. It is used by many system admins to manage their servers via a web-based interface instead of using the command line. It comes with support for many services including Apache, Nginx, MySQL, Bind, Postfix, Dovecot, Courier, PureFTPD etc. and it is used for easy website administration, creating email accounts and FTP users, creating MySQL databases, setting up cron jobs, DNS administration and more. Installing\u00a0ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu 16.04, is an easy task if you carefully follow our tutorial below.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d83fcaf163\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d83fcaf163\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-ispconfig-3-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#1-Connect-via-SSH-and-update-the-system-software\" title=\"1.

When installing the Postfix service you will be asked to select configuration. Select <code>Internet Site<\/code>. Next, as system mail name enter your server hostname. If you are asked to select a web server, select A<code>pache2<\/code>.<br \/>\nAlso, you will be asked to enter MySQL application password for phpMyadmin and MySQL application password for Roundcube. You can enter a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/generate-password-linux-command-line\/\">strong password<\/a> of your choice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Configure-Apache-and-PHP\"><\/span>4.

Since you will have to provide the users with FTP access to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting.html\">Ubuntu VPS<\/a> so they can upload and download files, you need to configure chroot environment. That way, the users will not have access to the rest of the system.

Edit the Postfix master configuration file:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo nano \/etc\/postfix\/master.cf<\/pre>\n<p>Basically, we will need to uncomment a few lines in the configuration file and append <code>-o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject<\/code> under the <code>submission<\/code> and <code>smtps<\/code> sections. The file should look like the following:<\/p>\n<pre>submission inet n       -       y       -       -       smtpd\n  -o syslog_name=postfix\/submission\n  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt\n  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes\n  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject\n#  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no\n#  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=\n#  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject\n#  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING\n\nsmtps     inet  n       -       y       -       -       smtpd\n  -o syslog_name=postfix\/smtps\n  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes\n  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes\n  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject\n#  -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no\n#  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions\n#  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=\n#  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject\n#  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING\n<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-Create-new-list-for-Mailman\"><\/span>8.

Install ISPConfig on Ubuntu 16.04<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let&#8217;s install ISPConfig.
