Yum Plesk Install

[Alec]

I used the 'yum install psa*' on my Linux CentOS 5 server, this is the second installation attempt, and each time I install Plesk using the installer.

After it says "Complete!" I try and go to my website using the IP and port 8443, it sits there waits a little while and Firefox spits out the taking to long to respond. Any suggestions?

Have you checked the Plesk daemon is actually running? Are you connecting using HTTPS?

[scott]

Check the firewall rules too, by default it would block port 8443

[Alec]

Unblocked, and they are running, but still no luck.

When I try to access the page through Firefox, after a while instead of the IP the address changes too "hk."

This HK is the server name if I'm not mistaken, when I log on with root it says "root@hk" so it's not just coming up randomly.

The server at hk is taking too long to respond.

When you run a sniffer on the box, do you see traffic going to port 8443?

tethereal -i eth0 port 8443

Change eth0 to whatever your interface is.

Also, what do you see with this command:

netstat -anp | grep 8443

and this one:

iptables -L -n

This is what I got, I find it weird showing 0.0.0.0.

Code: Select all

[root@hk ~]# tethereal -i eth0 port 8443
-bash: tethereal: command not found
[root@hk ~]# netstat -anp | grep 8443

You need to install a sniffer on your system. You can install ethereal with this command:

yum -y install ethereal

[Alec]

When I run the sniffer, and try and access Plesk the sniffer does show all these stuff; I'm guessing that it is traffic going through. My IP is somewhere in the stuff, just to make it clear.
