How to setup TCAdmin 2 on Debian 8

[Dennis]

Hi folks,

 

We wanted to try out Debian 8, codename 'Jessie', so we bought a new dedi and installed Debian 8 as the OS. However, when we got to installing TCAdmin, we ran into a few problems. I contacted Luis, and he made it work on Debian 8 with a workaround.

 

I thought that this thread could come in handy for anyone wanting to use Debian 8. Please post any questions you might have

 

Here's the installation process for 64-bit servers:

1. Download and install mono
   

   wget [url]http://www.tcadmin.com/installer/mono-2.11.4-x86_64.deb[/url]
   apt-get update
   dpkg -i mono-2.11.4-x86_64.deb

   
   This next part is important! Executing 'apt-get install -f' will remove the mono installation - don't execute it yet, even though the original guide says so.
   

   cp -r /opt/mono-2.11.4/ /opt/mono-2.11.4-back/
   apt-get install -f
   cp -r /opt/mono-2.11.4-back/ opt/mono-2.11.4/
   /opt/mono-2.11.4/bin/mozroots --import --sync --quiet
   /opt/mono-2.11.4/bin/mono --aot -O=all /opt/mono-2.11.4/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll
   for i in /opt/mono-2.11.4/lib/mono/gac/*/*/*.dll; do /opt/mono-2.11.4/bin/mono --aot -O=all $i; done

   
   

2. Install the rest of the dependencies
   

   apt-get install libpcap0.8 lsof

   
   

3. Install TCAdmin
   

   wget [url]http://www.tcadmin.com/installer/tcadmin-2-bi.noarch.deb;dpkg[/url] -i tcadmin-2-bi.noarch.deb

   
   

4. Follow the initial configuration: http://help.tcadmin.com/Initial_Configuration
   

 

If everything worked out fine, you should be able to access TCAdmin on your server.

Thanks for sharing!

 

...so when would you install mono?

[Dennis]

Installing mono is the first step

 

I might not answer question rapidly the comming days. My house burned down, sadly.

How come this works? From what I can tell it's installing mono then removing parts of it then copying parts from the one you installed in the first place? I may be totally wrong, I literally just glanced/skimread it + I'm a centos/rh guy not a ubuntu/debian guy , and woah, how did that happen to your house?

[Dennis]

apt-get install -f removes the mono installation. That's why you need to copy the folder before executing the command, and then copy the folder back.
