Nginx error on vestacp installation

Posted December 12, 2014 5.5k views

Hello,

I am trying to install vestacp on Ubuntu 14.04 Droplet with previous nginx installed, when i try following command…

bash vst-install.sh

It gives following error…

Following packages are already installed:
nginx

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-ubuntu.sh --force

While i have already removed nginx using following…

sudo apt-get remove nginx

sudo apt-get purge nginx

sudo apt-get autoremove

Please help me to resolve this issue. thanks

    If you are confident you have removed nginx and all it’s configuration files you can either use the -f flag mentioned by the installer or rebuild your droplet from the control panel using a stock OS image. With any web hosting control panel it is always recommended to start from a completely clean server rather than trying to clean it or remove packages.

    Thanks for your reply. Which Control Panel do you suggest - Vesta CP or Webmin? Easier to use and powerful in features.

Just like @ryanpq mentioned is better to start with a clean server. Destroy that droplet create a new one with ubuntu image only and then run the vesta cpanel script. Vesta will install all the necessary software including nginx.

if you need a control panel that will nicely fit into your current install, use webmin with nginx module http://www.justindhoffman.com/project/nginx-webmin-module , it even has a very beautiful theme now - http://theme.winfuture.it/

Run:
dpkg --get-selections

You will see that nginx-commom is listed as deinstall state.

Just run:

sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}')
