Install on clean RHE4 of PLESK 8 Errors.

Install on clean RHEL4 of PLESK 8 Errors.

I know im not the only one with this problem as I have seen other posts (without many answers ;-) about the same issue.

Using the Plesk Auto-Installer no matter what options are selected it will fail. You may see my screen below to see. I don't understand what could possibly be different about my clean install of RedHat Enterprise 4 from systems where the installer is working. Others posts with same issue even had different OS's.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I was hopeing to head to the datacenter today but cannot till I get the base server components installed.

Thanks in advance everyone,
Dave Schlaegel

P.S. Has nothing to do with SiteBuilder, I can disable everything and get the same result just different packages failing or even saying "ERROR: Can't add to black list product package" with no package name.

Hi,

I have same error. I can not find any solution.

 

[LordOfLA]

My solution to this after reading another thread on the issue was as follows:

rpm -qa | grep php | xargs rpm -e --nodeps
rpm -qa | grep mysql | xargs rpm -e --nodeps
rpm -qa | grep httpd | xargs rpm -e --nodeps

plesk then installed happy as larry with its own components, rather than the RHEL4/Centos packages pre-installed.

HTH

Edit: Also had to remove selinux-targeted-policy so that plesk could install its own.

Thanks that part worked like a charm.

But now on one of the last steps I got

How many things can be wrong with the installer.

Anyway. I just rebooted, and went through the installer again with no packages but the base selected. And it seems to have installed now. Thanks again for all the help. I really apprecate it.
