I cannot install Plesk 7.5 Reloaded on my Debian server. Here is the lines while install :

Trying to start MySQL server... done

Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/psa_7.5.4_Debian_3.1_build75050824.12_installing.log), fix and try again

It looks like mysql isn't running.

Per Plesk's instructions, did you first make sure you had all required packages already installed before attempting the autoinstaller?

2. Make sure that all required packages are installed.

You can check whether a particular deb-package is already installed by entering
the following command: dpkg -l 'debname'.

For example:

bash$ dpkg -l psa

Install the deb-packages of indicated versions or higher from the Debian 3.1 disc:

libcurl3_7.13.1-2_i386.deb
libexpat1_1.95.8-1_i386.deb
libidn11_0.5.13-1.0_i386.deb
libxml2_2.6.16-6_i386.deb
libxslt1.1_1.1.12-6_i386.deb
apache2_2.0.53-5_i386.deb
apache2-common_2.0.53-5_i386.deb
apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.53-5_i386.deb
apache2-utils_2.0.53-5_i386.deb
libapache2-mod-perl2_1.999.20-1_i386.deb
libapache2-mod-php4_4:4.3.10-10_i386.deb
bind9_9.2.4-1_i386.deb
libexpat1_1.95.8-1_i386.deb
libxml2_2.6.16-6_i386.deb
php4-mysql_4.3.10-10_i386.deb
php4-imap_4.3.10-10_i386.deb
webalizer_2.01.10-26_i386.deb
file_4.12-1_i386.deb
sharutils_4.2.1-11_i386.deb
unzip_5.52-1_i386.deb
gawk_3.1.4-2_i386.deb
mysql-server_4.0.24-2_i386.deb

For installation use the command ' dpkg -i <deb-packages list>

Wow I must have been tired.

Reset your mysql root password to a blank password or make an user with the name "admin" and the password "setup" and give it full grant-options on the entire mysql server.

 

[Bluelane]

Ok so I create an "admin" user with password "setup" and I delete the mysql password for the "root" user.

But now, Plesk doesn't want to start...

I have a version installed on my Debian server and I don't know how to remove it ?!

When I want to reinstall Plesk, the autoinstaller show me that Plesk is already install.

I haven't used Debian so I don't know what they use for a Package manager. With Redhat OSes it would be rpm -e psa-xxxx

I don't know with debian though.
