Plesk installation on Debian and Ubuntu

[projuri]

Hello,

I'was trying to install Plesk on Debian/testing, but I got many conflicts. For example, php doesn't work:

ERROR: PleskFatalException
Unable to get default language.

0: /opt/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:172
	psaerror(string 'Unable to get default language.')
1: /opt/psa/admin/plib/countries.php3:293
	locale_list()
2: /opt/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:1458
	locale_exists(string 'en-US')
3: /opt/psa/admin/plib/class.Session.php:158
	Session->Session()
4: /opt/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3:149

I can't install Debian/Stable becouse installation kernel can't recognize SATA controller and I was thinging about installing Ubuntu, but I have found installation only for Ubuntu 5.10, isn't too old? Will it work with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I hope that ubuntu does support my SATA controller.

Any comments will be helpful.

Thank you

I have written a letter to SWSoft support and I got the answer:

Currently Plesk only supports Ubuntu 5.10… Ubuntu 6.x will be supported later this month…

I had the same problem with unrecognized hardware.
Used a custom debian sarge installer, see http://kmuto.jp/b.cgi/debian/d-i-2616.htm
Basically, a standard Debian Sarge netinstall image, but with a newer (2.6.16) kernel from backports.org, which supports more hardware.

Worked great for me.
