Hi,
I have a clean server that I need to prepare and make sure that everything works. I will also install plesk 9.5... my question is, what is the best way on starting ?
1) first configure the whole server, then install plesk with atomic ?
2) do yum update psa* and after this handle all other items.. ?
Thanks.

If you're doing a fresh install of the OS, install your base OS, then Plesk, then install atomic and other libraries. Plesk expects a basic build. Anything beyond that and it might not install.

yum usually gets around the problems that the autoinstaller cant. Personally I usually have the system updated before I install plesk

Hi,
Well, those are two different points..
I am wondering what to do.. as to install apf and other updates for securing the server, upgrading mysql and php, or to handle these after the plesk install..
Any more views ?
Thanks.

They're not different points, just different paths.
If you use the Plesk autoinstaller, install Plesk first, then atomic, then upgrade.
If you use yum (preferred method) install atomic, Plesk repo, upgrade then insteall Plesk

I got a guide I wrote when I was a newbie to this. I wrote it from a complete linux newbie point of view, simply because I was. It is focused on Plesk 8.6 and CentOS 5.x for the install, and starts from a clean server, no OS state and walks you through.
If you want it I can bounce it over to you.
