Installing on FBSD 7.x ?

[paddy@]

Is it possible to install Parallels Plesk 9.2 on FreeBSD 7.x ?
with or without 6.x compatibility pack on FBSD ?

 

[Denis Sirochenko]

Hello,

According to the following page of Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2 for Linux/Unix Installation Guide:

http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-unix-installation-guide/62790.htm

Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2 can only be installed on FreeBSD® 6.x i586.

Regards,

Denis.

FreeBSD 7.x, amd64

It works fine on FreeBSD 7.x.
I have several boxes with FreeBSD 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 - mostly amd64 with Plesk 9.x.
There are a lot of problems installing it but all the problems are only due to Plesk install process.
I couldn't help core dumps of the ./parallels_installer_v3.4.1_build090204.18_os_FreeBSD_6.1_i386
but from the ports it works.

There are several moments:
- Of course I use /etc/libmap32.conf (libmap.conf on i386) and a lot of libraries. Mostly for i386-compatibility with Plesk itself.
- There are errors in ports so when install just loook at them and patch Makefiles.
- Don't use Plesk's pam modules on amd64.

Sounds good, but I guess it does brake the support from Parallels as you're not using a officially supported OS and Version ?

To not having to invent the wheel all over again can you by any chance share what you put in the different config files ? about to install it on a amd64 too

I'm pretty unhappy to even install a FBSD 6.x server now as it's about to become unsupported by the fbsd community other then security updates.

libmap for Plesk

Of course, it would break the support. But the cases when I needed the support were so rare so it wasn't a big problem.
I installed everything from ports, as it's described in http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/plesk-9.2.1-for-pkg-based-os.html

1. Change versions for perl, curl, etc in */Makefile according to your installed versions. Otherwise you will see how perl is deleted and reinstall, deleted and reinstalled... I don't know why but it's written - perl5.8.8 (change to perl5.8.9), so is for curl and - check the others.
2. I restored original /etc/pam.d.
3. libmap.conf. My variants are below. You will need the libraries from libmap.conf (put it in /usr/local/compat/, for example). For amd64 I put there libraries from the i386.
For different versions of Plesk I had to make different libmap.conf, here are my working examples:
