Did anyone know where I could find a howto to install FedoraCore 4 64bit on a server? I have FedoraCore 3 on it whith plesk 8. The autoinstaller from plesk dosent work with the 64 bit version.

Thank you for your try to helping me. Sorry for my bad english.

There is a special FC4 64 bit autoinstaller available at http://www.swsoft.com/en/download/plesk8/

Yes but my problem is that it doesn't work. What do I have to do?

What exactly "doesn't work"? Does it give you an error?

My problem is that if I will use the autoinstaller it says that I couldn't work with binary files. I think I have to install it from the rescure console but I think that is to hard for me.

I don't really understand the problem you are having. Can you tell what you did exactly and what the exact error message you're getting is.

The system I am now running is SUSE 10 with Plesk 8. But I will install FC4 64 bit. So in download the autoinstaller. But when i will start the autoinstaller the massage "cannot execute binary file" is displayed.

If the system is currently running SuSE 10 you clearly can't use the FC4 64 bit Plesk autoinstaller. You can only use that on a clean FC4 64 bit installation, not on another operating system (or even on another version of the same operating system).

So, first do a minimal install of FC4 64 bit, then download and use the FC4 64 bit Plesk autoinstaller.

That is my problem my hoster haven't a file and I do not know how I could install a minimal version from FC4 64. Thank you for helping me.

If you don't have physical access to your own server and your provider won't install another OS for you you don't really have much choice. You could take a look at Scott's Atomic Offline OS Installer script, but that performs a minimal CentOS 4 installation, instead of FC4 64 bit.

Maybe you can adapt the script to install FC4 64 bit, but I'm afraid that if you don't have a test environment you're pretty likely to screw things up. If you really need FC4 64 bit you could always go and look for another provider that does offer a FC4 64 bit image.

I could make a version to install CentOS 4 - 64. Whats weird is that they didnt do a torrent for CentOS 4.4's Server CD's. I'd hate to have to make it pull the ISO over HTTP.

Besides, FC4 is now in Fedora Legacy, so its only got about a year left before its EOL'd.

Yes that is right. But in the moment Plesk only works with version 4.

Don't get me wrong, I like Fedora Core (I run FC5 on my workstation, will upgrade to FC6 when it's released this week), but for setting up a server that you don't want to do OS upgrades on too often, you're probably better off with another OS than Fedora. By the time a Fedora Core version is supported by Plesk it's already almost EOL'd. Personally I use CentOS for servers, as CentOS just has a much longer life cycle.
