Plesk with Virtuozzo on VPS

Now have a working install which I am testing. On the domain www.sl4me everything seems to work. Although obviously I still need to configure a few things and complete tests.

For others this is how I did it:

- FTP Joomla up onto the server
- Setup Joomla, but not the FTP Layer (this doesn't work)
- When you get to the end copy the code for configuration.php
- FTP in and create a file called configuration.php and paste the clipboard into it
- CHMOD config.php to 777 for now
- Log in to Virtuosso
- Use File Manager to go to the site
- Change the owner of the following directories to www-data and the group to www-data:
- - administrator/backups/
- - administrator/components/
- - administrator/language/
- - administrator/language/en-GB/
- - administrator/modules/
- - administrator/templates/
- - components/
- - images/
- - images/banners/
- - images/stories/
- - language/
- - language/en-GB/
- - language/pdf_fonts/
- - media/
- - modules/
- - plugins/
- - plugins/content/
- - plugins/editors/
- - plugins/editors-xtd/
- - plugins/search/
- - plugins/system/
- - plugins/user/
- - plugins/xmlrpc/
- - tmp/
- - templates/
- - Cache Directory /var/www/vhosts/yoursite/httpdocs/cache/
- - Cache Directory /var/www/vhosts/yoursite/httpdocs/administrator/cache/
- Continue to configure site (if using Fireboard you need to ftp files and change the directory owner as above)
- Finally CHMOD config.php to 444

I hope this helps.
