Vestacp install issues on debian 9 vultr
Vestacp install issues on debian 9 vultr
Hi,
I got a new cloud server on vultr with a fresh debian 9 (64 stretch).
I wanted to install the vestacp, but I got this error.
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
Following packages are already installed:
exim4
It is highly recommended to remove them before proceeding.
If you want to force installation run this script with -f option:
Example: bash vst-install-debian.sh --force
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
Error: Control Panel should be installed on clean server.
---
I tried to remove exim4 manualy, but still the same error.
Ì forced the istallation and got this error:
E: Failed to fetch http://apt.vestacp.com/stretch/pool/ves ... _amd64.deb Temporary failure resolving 'apt.vestacp.com'
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
Error: apt-get install failed
Did someone saw this issue before on vultr.
I have also a cloudserver on OVH with debian 9 and there are no issues.
Any help would be great.
update:
after reinstalling my server again (debian 9 x64) the istallation went trougth, but only with the --force command. The first exim4 error was still there. And the installation took only about 3 minutes. That can't be the right way to do it with --force! right?
And I saw a few errors and failures during the install.

Re: Vestacp install issues on debian 9 vultr
A couple of options.
1) From a new VM, remove the exim4 package with the purge option, to make sure it deletes all the config files.
apt purge exim4
Then install vesta as normal.
2) Upload your own ISO image of Debian, so you know it hasn't been adapted by Vultr and try with that.
Don't know if either of these will help. But its pretty easy to spin up a VM and try.

Re: Vestacp install issues on debian 9 vultr
hi plutocrat,
I tried to purge exim4 already and deleted all the config files, but there are still some traces of it and the error occurs over and over again.
But I didn't thought about uploading a debian 9 iso. I will try that.
Thanks for the hint.

Re: Vestacp install issues on debian 9 vultr
When trying to install the VestaCP panel , the installer displays a notification “Following packages are already installed: exim4”, that is, Exim mail is already installed on the system. It is advisable to remove it before installing the panel.
Commands to completely remove Exim packages:
