ISO installation problem

ManuelG2k

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
I'm trying to install Plesk 11.5 using ISO image (http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/images/).
I use image "Ubuntu 12.04 + Plesk 11" with architecture "x86_64".
This image is installed on VMware vSphere 5.5 Virtual Machine.
At the end of the installation i see this message:

Parallels Plesk Panel installation has been started.
Please don't reboot the server until installation is not finished.
Execute: tail -f /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log
to monitor the installation progress.


After 5/10 minutes i see this message:

Parallels Plesk Panel installation has been interrupted.
After the server reboot, the installation will be started again.
See: /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log to get more information



I reboot the server.
After reboot installation has been continued.
After 1 minutes I see same message:

Parallels Plesk Panel installation has been interrupted.
After the server reboot, the installation will be started again.
See: /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log to get more information


The autoinstaller3.log contain this:


Starting Plesk installation

I try to reboot many times, but error is same.

Can you help me ?

Hi Manuel,

is that absolutly everything the autoinstaller3.log contains, or only the last lines?
Something that might help is, start the Server, run "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and then start the Plesk installation again.
Maybe by rebooting? Not sure how this works with the ISO Installer.

Regards,
Kristian
 
Hello. Just like Manuel I have the same problem. ISO installation not completed.

I ran the command Kristian said, in CentOS. yum update.
I am still getting the problem that the installation has been interrupted.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Thanks!

I get the same message, but Plesk running fine.
You can run this command for manual installation/update, its finished without error on my server.

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller
 
I have the same problem.
after installing the latest i386 and x64 version of Ubuntu with plesk 11.5.30 as guests in VmWare vSphere 5.5 on both systems i have the same log:
Parallels Plesk Panel installation has been interrupted.
After the server reboot, the installation will be started again.

See: /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log

to get more information.

i tried to reboot many times, i did apt-get update/ apt-get dist-upgrade, updated all the packages, tried to install new features, but the message is still there.
the machine are now hosting 50+ domains cause i had to install these machine for recovery reasons, but i don't feel comfortable to see these messages on the server.
what can we do to solve it? shall I open a ticket in order to solve it on the production server?

the autoinstaller3.log contains only this:
root@web01:~# cat /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log

As possible workaround you can try to use following methods:

1. If autoinstaller is still running (immediately after OS installation) do:

# cp /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log.orig; unlink /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log ; ln -s /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log

2. If autoinstaller has finished its work ( following command show empty string # ps afxww | grep parallels_installer | grep -v grep )

# cp /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log.orig; unlink /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log ; ln -s /var/log/plesk-install/autoinstaller3.log /home/plesk/autoinstaller3.log
# cp /home/plesk/functions.in /home/plesk/functions.in.orig

Hi,

I don't understand everything you mentioned in the post, please review below, the server is running Ubuntu 12.04

root@web:~# ps afxww | grep parallels_installer | grep -v grep
2434 ? Ss 0:00 /var/cache/parallels_installer/parallels_installer_Ubuntu_12.04_x86_64 --select-product-id=plesk --select-release-latest --installation-type=Typical

root@web:~# diff -u /home/plesk/functions.in.orig /home/plesk/functions.in
<nothing>

If you are not familiar with applying patches on Linux OS I can suggest you contact Parallels Support Team, hire experienced Linux administrator or just wait when mentioned bug will be fixed and included into one of next microupdates.
 
Hi, have you checked the virtual machine requirements?

Check this: http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/requirements/

"Before installing Parallels Plesk Panel software on CloudLinux, you should make sure that the YUM repository on the server is configured for access to CloudLinux Repository."

One time I had same problem and I resolved fix the configuration of VM Network and open firewall on vm.

I hope this will help you!

Bye
