Plesk 8.3 latest on CentOS 5.1 install error :(

laughingbuddha · Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:06 am

Just tried to install Plesk 8.3 on CentOS 5.1 and it failed on:-

Packages "httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3.i386" and httpd-2.2.2-11.el5.centos.i386" cannot be installed at the same time
bcause of the conflict on the file "/etc/httpd/conf.d/README"

Help!

It's a clean install on a clean server hanging off my Netgear DG834N router. I have opened all access to the local IP that the server (only for the install and setup) is set to, and have also done what is needed in the config files for it to see the outside world and resolve to it's name being s1.youandtheweb.co.uk

Please help!

Did you update any packages after installing Centos? The cardinal rule in Plesk installs: never update packages until AFTER you install Plesk. Plesk expects a base install and will go nuts if it doesn't get it.

Nope. Totaly clean install.

Try installing it through yum, the autoinstaller doesn't really leverage packaging like yum does. Its always behind on things.

Is that easier. When I purchase my licence, I'm not planning on using all the features.

what command line do I use for a yum install? and will it install stuff like FastCGI and ASP, not that I've used it, but features might be good for clients personaly I'm a PHP and MySQL man myself.

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

Hit "y" when it asks if you want to enable the plesk repo.

I get the following error when executing that command:-

sh: line 1: wget:: command not found
sh: line 2: Usage:: command not found
sh: line 4: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: line 5: syntax error: unexpected end of file

?

Don't worry, I'm blond. Found the issue, needless to user it was an input error by the user......doh!

Once I have run that command, I guess I would then run yum update

Well I hope so, because that's what I just did

Sounds like someone broke your VPS. I would complain to them about it

Not on a VPS, HP ProLiant DL360 G3

Well I did the yum update, rebooted and no Plesk still. Hummm

Ok, so once it's downloaded and everything how do I actualy install it?

For a minimal install:

yum install psa

For just about everything:
yum install psa*

Wicked, nice one. Cheers my man

I guess your version installs SSO like the other one does.

I might just go for a full install, and remove what I don't want afterwards. I can do that can't I?

Just went for the full install. Has that got the SSO that Swsoft put into Plesk 8.3?

Also, how much is a subscription to ASL channel? Wanna make sure my server is secure.

It's not another version, it's the exact same packages.

It's a lot easier to do a minimal install and add stuff later.
