Postfix prompts not happening

Question

I am following the tutorial to install postfix in Ubuntu 16.04, but it stops on the first screen. Any idea? I just installed Lemp Ubuntu 16.04 with success. Using Putty to run the commands. Can’t get out of the first screen and then i can’t login because of the processes running inside… i think.

What do you mean by “it stops on the first screen”? First screen of what, when you did what?

Hello! Yes.
The first screen of postfix’s configuration procedures.
After these two first commands:

sudo apt-get update sudo DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt-get install postfix

It does not give me any options. Can’t move from this screen. And then i have to end the session or the sessions ends by itself. Immediately i can’t go back in. I have to wait a while before the server allows me in again.

My first droplet is nice http://radha.org.br.

Thanks!

  When you run this sudo apt-get update it shows a list of URLs being downloaded and then index updated successfully - correct?
  After the update, then try this without the option sudo apt-get install postfix - what happens on the screen?
