Hello,

I’ve set up my “glue” and name servers to ns1.box … and ns2.box but I keep getting the same error every time I try to run mailinabox.  
The specific error:  
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device

The rest of the code runs fine:

Looks like it worked fine. Would you mind opening an issue on the github project so I don’t forget to track down why `stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device` is appearing?

The problem is that when I try to click on the link. Nothing shows up. I tried to change it to none-SSL and it works. But the SSL does not work.

Have you opened port 443 in your security group?

Hi Josh,

I also get the below on installs.

```
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device

```

I will open an issue for it on github so you can track it.
