Command prompt codes windows 7. Edit the main sources list in your Ubuntu 18.04 (or CentOS7) system. First comment out the installation CD from the file and then make sure the universe and multiverse repositories are enabled. This is because all the packages needed by ISPConfig are found in default repositories only. There is no need to install any third parties repositories. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu 16.04. ISPConfig is an open source hosting control panel 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.
General information
- Terms of Service are avaible at cba.pl/en/terms-of-service/.
- To enter control panel use your username, /your website's address/ or email and a password that was set when you created an account.
- To use mailbox you need to create an email account in the control panel first.
- Mail server is mail.cba.pl.
- FTP server is your website's address (e.g. happyuser.cba.pl)
- If you already own a domain and you create a new hosting account for this domain, all needed information will be automatically added. The only thing left for you to do is enter our DNS servers in the control panel of the registrator of your domain:
- ns1.cba.pl
- ns2.cba.pl
- All rules for the accounts with our domains are valid for accounts with domains that were not registered on our hosting.
- In case you have any troubles visit our forum to find help.
For example, if you have an account 'happy', a web site happy.cba.pl and you create an email account named “user”, your login to the mailbox and your email will look like this: 'user@happy.cba.pl'.
You can send and receive emails using an external program like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird or other. Login and password are the same as for mailbox in browser.
You do not need to change information about the DNS servers in case you have registered your domain on our hosting — it will be configured automatically and added to the chosen account.
For example, your FTP login will look like this: 'happy@happyuser.cba.pl', if you create FTP account named “happy” and you own a domain happyuser.cba.pl. The main domain (connected, for example, to the FTP logins) is always the first domain of the hosting account, the one that was chosen while creating the hosting account. In the email account names created for this hosting account the part after '@' may be picked among all the domains connected to this hosting account.

You can create a database in the control panel in Databases section. Click '+ Add', set up login and password.

How to create FTP account? Where can I find data to access my FTP? What are the limits?
When you create a hosting account the FTP account for it is created automatically. It is a common account, its name and login to it look like this: admin@pageaddress (e.g. admin@happyuser.cba.pl). The password to this account by default is the same as the password for your control panel.
From this general profile FTP account you have an access to all catalogs of all domains from all hosting accounts you have in your profile. You can manage your FTP accounts in the control panel in FTP accounts section. There is a possibility to add and delete them, and you can change passwords there.
You can access your FTP server using our filemanager or an external program, for example FileZilla.
You can create FTP account with the access only to the chosen domain — in FTP accounts section in control panel you can click “+Add” and choose a domain you want to create this kind of account for. Login to this account will look like this: login@siteaddress.cba.pl.
Data for accessing your FTP:- FTP server: your site’s address (e.g. happyuser.cba.pl)
- Login: by default admin@sitesaddress (e.g. admin@happyuser.cba.pl)
- Password: by default it is the same as for control panel (if you have not changed it)
- Port: 21 or 210
- Mode: passive
The limit of simultaneous connections to one FTP account is three at once. In case you exceed this limit session will be blocked by server for a few seconds — you have to wait a bit and try again with the less number of connections (usually you can configure this in your FTP client’s configuration).
Maximal size of the file you can upload to FTP is:- For FREE accounts: 10 MB
- For PRO and VIP accounts: 1 GB
What kind of domains are avaible on CBA.pl?

I have registered a domain and now I want to connect it with my account on CBA.pl / I want to buy a domain and create an account for it or connect it with the existing account on CBA.pl, how to do it?
When creating an account enter your domain (which you have registrated before at another domain name registrar’s service).
Enter our DNS servers in the control panel of your domain name registrar:- ns1.cba.pl
- ns2.cba.pl
After DNS servers are updated (it may take some time, but not more that 48 hours usually) your domain will be active and connected with the hosting account.
If you are registering a domain at CBA.pl (or creating a new hosting account and registering a domain for it at the same time), all the settings will be set up automatically right after the payment is done.
Both after purchasing a domain and after connecting the domain to the account there is a 48-hours period during which your domain would not be working as it should. This is the time when the information about the changed DNS servers is spreaded around the web. Usually it lasts way shorter than 48 hours, it may last only for a few hours.How to activate an SSL certificate? Can I use it for domains that do not point to cba.pl servers?
To buy an SSL certificate, go to the Domains section in the user panel and click on 'SSL' in front of the proper domain. SSL certificates may be enabled only for domains that point to our servers. You can buy SSL certificate only for one year or more.
If you have bought an SSL certificate for your domain, SSL certificate will not be active for subdomains. If you need an SSL certificate for your subdomain, you can buy it - just press 'SSL' in front of this subdomain in the Domains section in the user panel and follow the instructions. Please note that if you have VIP account, SSL certificates will be free for you.

I enter my site’s address in browser, but my site is not displayed!
Make sure you uploaded the index.html (may also be .php or .htm) file to the main catalog in your FTP. The same applies to any subpage — for example, when you create a link to subpage.html but you forget to upload this file, you will be redirected to 404 error page.
My statistics are not displayed, why?
Most likely, you are checking them the same day you have created an account. Statistics are updated every night at 3 a.m. Please, wait till that time and they will appear.
I have a FREE account and I am trying to upload a 15 MB file. I can not do it, what is the reason?
Maximal size of the file you can upload is 10 MB. If you need to upload bigger files, upgrade to Pro or VIP — for those accounts this limit is increased to 1 GB.
Why there is a CBA.pl logo instead of my pictures on the different sites?
Because it is a hotlink, and this violates the hosting rules. You are allowed to hotlink only if you have Pro or VIP account.
After uploading files or after changing configurations of my protected areas a window with login and password request appears and than I get a message: 'Authorization Required'
