HELP installating Plesk BSD 6

[rhunn]

I have a problem installing PLesk 8 on a FreeBSD 6 box. It given me an error when tried to run autonstall file. Please help me. Are there anything I do first when intalling FreeBSD 6 before I install Plesk 8?

Thanks

This has been answered several times in these forums. A search would have turned up the result.

Install gtar from the ports collection before running the install.

I did installed gtar and Perl before I install PLesk and still giving me the same problem.......

[CruzMark]

Have you looked at the logs in /tmp to see if they can give you some clues?

"To continue installing, you should install Perl 5.008008 (y ou have Perl 5.008007 installed)"

There's your problem.

Remove Perl 5.8.7, upgrade your ports tree, and install Perl 5.8.8

My experience has been that you need to install from ports to have everything end up where Plesk wants it, rather than installing from source.

Mark,

How do I de-install Perl5.008007 and install Per5.008008.... I am still a learning BSD....

Thanks

I'm assuming this is a fresh copy of BSD that hasn't had a bunch of stuff done to it and
isn't currently in production. If it is, you should probably do this a different way.

First, delete the current perl. On FreeBSD6 you should be able to use pkg_delete:

pkg_delete perl-5.8.7

If that doesn't work, figure out the package name by looking in /var/db/pkg/

Update your ports tree. I don't have the time to type up how to do this. Read Chapter
4 of the FreeBSD handbook.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

Install perl 5.8.8 from ports:

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8

make

make install

Mark,

It is working now. Thank alot for your help.

I am not sure if I should post a new question or not.

what do I need to install on the Debian 3.11 before I install Plesk 8?

Thanks again
Ron

Glad to hear you got it working.

Can't help you with Debian.

I'd suggest a new topic, though, to attract those who can.
