Notes

SB2 Update

Please note that the server will automatically reboot when you have installed the sb2_upgrade package.This is in order to start the new ROM and new kernel.  If you have any problems after the update, please see our troubleshooting section.

oso-php

The PHP5 bundle included with the update provides PHP5 support for your virtual hosts.
We have tried to keep this version of PHP5 compatible with the version provided by nuonce.net
If you have nuonce php installed, there is no need to install our version.
Please report any nuonce PHP5 compatibility bugs to us.

After installing the OSPanel package, your browser will require a cache purge. If you do not purge the cache, you may not see all of the images and the panel may appear broken.

Roundcube Webmail

If you decide that you do not want to install Roundcube webmail, this is not a requirement.
