Problems installing Plesk

[TGserver]

During the installation of Plesk, I got an error:

START LOGGING: Sat Oct 14 16:13:52 CEST 2006
SCRIPT: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst

START LOGGING: Sat Oct 14 16:13:53 CEST 2006

Unable to determine the domain name of your computer.
Please, run the 'dnsdomainname' or 'hostname -f' command
from the console and make sure that the command returns your domain name.

ERROR while trying to get domain name

Aborting...

When i run 'dnsdomainname' nothing happens, when i run 'hostname -f', 'TGserver' was shown.

I wanted to restart the installation process, but after the installer checked the installed packages i got the error:

ERROR: apt-get can't resolve selected packages.
ERROR: installation failed

What can I do?
thanks

"TGserver" won't do, you'll need a FQDN (fully qualified domain name), something like tgserver.example.com.

And how is this, when I only use the server in the LAN? Is there the hostname unimportant, but must consist aus something like TGserver.eymple.com?

You can't install Plesk on a LAN-only machine without a FQDN.

Thank you
Now it seems to work.

But I get the error:
ERROR while trying to install psa default key

Same problem here:

ERROR while trying to install psa default key

It's a brand new freshly made Debian 3.1 Box and the latest Plesk 8 autoinstaller from swsoft-page.

Seems to me their install does not get it's own keys right where it needs them.
The knowledgebase is not helping - it tells me to
rpm a certain "key-rpm".

This hint is useless for two obvious reasons:
- no rpm on debian, at least not at mine.
- what kind of "key-rpm" are they talking about??

I have got
psa_installer_v3.0.2_build060707.11_os_Debian_3.1_i386

here and nothing else.
So how can I get the needed file out of it? Any ideas?

I don't know if this is the solution for the problem, but I wanted to install Webmin 1.3000 and this package can't install a package called libio-pty-perl. After I installed this package self and after the installation of Webmin, I tried to install Plesk again.
And then it worked. Now Plesk is installed.

You are right!
But: It only seems to work if you get everything right the first time.
I got myself a fresh debian image, started the install but forgot to set MySQL root password to ''.
installation broke, of course. I resetted the password and started again - installation broke at with "ERROR while trying to install psa default key" again.

So I reinstalled my debian image, set the mysql password and only THEN started the plesk install - and now it works... well, at least a bit more - until another error.

Seems to work only the first time you run the install script.
Eventually that was the problem all along and not the libio?

Ok, however: I got myself a new error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
ppwse
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
ERROR: Install command execution failed
ERROR: Installation failed

Funny thing: there is no dpkg error (at least the 10 lines before that).

I don't get it: why do these people at swsoft no even make it possible to have their software INSTALLED???
I am working with ordinary debian standard images here, nothing out of the order, a fresh image for every try I make and still I only get error after error!
Have they even TRIED their product, even ONCE??

If even the installation starts this way, what am I to suspect from the actual product itsself?
