Plesk with FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit

[dsch]

Hi

I've tried getting help on this with the support, but they are rather slow to answer so there might be a faster respond here.

I'm trying to install Plesk 8.0.1 on FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit. I do have lib32 installed, and I've tried to hack the install script so it doesn't quit when it detects are wrong version.

The auto-installer just gives me this response:
"No suitable releases for your system is found on the server"

I then downloaded the 444 MB package, and it didn't want to install either. I hacked it as much as I could so version didn't matter, and so it didn't check checksum either. Got this response:

Unable to find product configuration file: /etc/psa/psa.conf


So, it's time to unpack distribution files

Is there another way to get this done? It's a Sun Fire X2100 server. Is it easier to just give up on FreeBSD 6.1 and install another 64-bit OS that plesk does support (though I really would like to get plesk running with FreeBSD)?

Well, not much help, I've to some way trick the plesk installer, and make uname give another version number instead. I'm trying to figure out how, but I'm very close to give up on FreeBSD 6.1 and get Suse instead.

Too bad Plesk doesn't support 64-bit FreeBSD 6.1...

I finally gave up and installed Suse 9.3 instead

as soon as plesk 8.1 comes out, it will have support for freebsd6.1 ...

Thanks for the information! No use for me now, though.

freebsd is better for 64-bit architecture, in my opinion. its worth going back once it is supported. or you could always use freebsd 6.0
