New Plesk Installation

[3XCadmin]

I've tried to install this a few times. Each time I feel like i'm getting closer.

A few problems I've been having...

After the auto-install script runs I don't know what the mysql password is and don't know what the panel login password is. Where can I get that information?

Also, I'm setting this up on a server that has about 4 websites. Do I have to have the domain already pointing to this server for me to be able to access the plesk panel and not have issues later on down the line? The websites are currently hosted somewhere else and need to be migrated to the new server. I was trying to get the latest version of plesk installed first.

Hi,
At the end of the install, you get the following message...

To complete the system configuration process, please proceed to URL:
https://server.yourdomain.tld:8443/ or
https://192.168.0.10:8443/ # where this is the IP of the server
Use 'root' and '<YOUR root PASSWORD>' as login name and password in case of fresh installation.
Use 'admin' and '<YOUR admin PASSWORD>' as login name and password in case of upgrade,
or if Plesk is already configured.

And to show the password, Log in to your Plesk server via SSH as "root" and run the following command to find your Plesk admin password:

# plesk bin admin --show-password

CentOS

# /usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password

Ubuntu/Debian

# /opt/psa/bin/admin --show-password

And MySQL Password is the same as the Plesk password, you can use it in a command like so...

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

I hope that helps
Regards

Lloyd
