Hi everyone,
Recently there's been a huge influx of posts about Magento 2 installation issues. We too are unhappy that Magento 2 installation experience hasn't been smooth in Plesk so far and we'd like to change this.
Historically there's been only one "official" way to install web applications in Plesk -- and that was APS (Application Packaging Standard). APS was initially developed to install and update your typical web app in a shared hosting environment. The thing is, Magento 2 is not a "typical web app", and it isn't really suited for shared hosting environment -- you gotta have the whole server (or VPS) dedicated to your Magento 2 instance if you want to do anything even remotely serious with it.
Unfortunately, it's not really feasible to fix all Magento 2 installation issues using the APS technology. That's why we are now planning to deliver Magento 2 via the Magento Toolkit extension in the future. It will function similar to WordPress Toolkit extension, and its initial focus will be the proper installation and functioning of Magento 2 on Plesk servers. We hope this will make the Magento 2 experience much smoother in Plesk.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments!
