Installation Of WPB: Missing Repo

[Cornopean]

Trying to install WPB standalone on to the core server using the current installation instructions found here:

http://www.parallels.com/products/web-presence-builder/documentation/

========================================

n /etc/yum.repos.d/, create a file with the name pa4wp.repo.
Add the following text to the file.
[pawp-dist]
name=pawp
baseurl=http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/Standalone/11.5/dist-rpm-CentOS-$releasever-$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
priority=10
enabled=1
[pawp-third]
name=pawp-third
baseurl=http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/Standalone/11.5/thirdparty-rpm-CentOS-$releasever-$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
priority=10
enabled=1
Issue the following command:
# yum install pa4wp-std

The Repo doesn't exist though:

http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/Standalone/11.5/thirdparty-rpm-CentOS-$releasever-$basearch/

=====================================================================

Please can Parallels representative here comment on this missing repo. And tell me when it will be corrected, or give me the correct one?

Instead of http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/Standalone/11.5/dist-rpm-CentOS-$releasever-$basearch/ you should use URLs like

http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/Standalone/11.5/dist-rpm-CentOS-6-x86_64/

The same for thirdparty-rpm-CentOS-$releasever-$basearch

Thank you, I will try these.

Please will you update the commands located in the Installation instructions. Providers using Parallels products should not have to face these appalling errors in your documentation !

My engineer has again attempted to install WPB - this again failed. What is wrong here?

His response to me:

Hi,

The host name download1.parallels.com was not resolving from your server which caused the issue. I added an entry in /etc/hosts file and tried to install pa4wp-std in 209.236.125.18 server, but it failed with following error message.

Have you read Requirements for WPB installation? http://download1.parallels.com/WPB/...e-installation-administration-guide/69651.htm
Apache (httpd), mod_fcgid should be installed on server at least.

Yes, system technicians have read the requirements fully.

The documentation is ambiguous and with errors.

How are we supposed to deploy WPB with such ambiguous documentation?

Cornopean, what errors did you noticed? What do you mean with "ambiguous"?
