Seafile installation failed. Please examine the logs for details.

That is not possible, because something is always logged when trying to install an extension. Maybe it was the wrong log. Do you see anything in /var/log/plesk/panel.log, e.g.
grep "extension/seafile" /var/log/plesk/panel.log
?

We'll need to find out why the service does not start. My current guess is that there is an unfinished, hanging installation and it is being attempted to do another installation which fails, because the first one did not complete. I am pretty sure that some important information is missing from the initial description of the issue, e.g. that there must have been something preceding the "error" situation. Could you please give this a thought? Is this the first domain where you try to use it? Or are there other domains on the server where it already works?

Also, please try to run
Code: 
# systemctl status [email protected]
# journalctl -xe
and
Code: 
# grep seafile /var/log/messages
to try to collect more details on what the situation is.

I'd also try to see if "seafile" shows up in the process list, e.g.
Code: 
# ps aux | grep seafile
and try to see what it is currently doing using strace.

This situation can be caused when the permissions of the /seafile subdirectory of the subscription are not correct. Could you please verify with ps -aux |grep wsgi that Seafile is truly running as the output from above logs suggest? It should output something like
Code: 
root 1832 0.0 0.1 111140 44996 ? S Oct08 0:07 python2.7 /var/www/vhosts/example.com/seafile/seafile-server-6.2.5/seahub/thirdpart/gunicorn seahub.wsgi:application -c /var/www/vhosts/example.com/seafile/seafile-server-6.2.5/runtime/seahub.conf -b 0.0.0.0:8000 --preload

The I suppose that owner and group of the seafile directory are root, are they?
ls -lahR /var/www/vhosts/example.com/seafile/ | grep root
Will probably look similar to this:
Code: 
-rw------- 1 root root 34 Oct 9 13:30 3169014891a3aa95b486b0e29e74fa1e.djcache

If this is the case, then the issue can be fixed running
chown -R jdoe:psaserv /var/www/vhosts/example.com/seafile/

Instead of example.com in the above examples, your real domain needs to be entered.

If the above does not apply to your case, no reasonable further investigation can be done here on the forum. Instead, please then open a support ticket, because then a support engineer needs to look into your server to find the root cause.

I need help
 
You do not have to, but I cannot solve the issue from the information provided and as noone else has responded in this thread probably others cannot either. As Plesk has real engineers in their support, normally they are able to find out what the problem is when they can look into the server.
 
My server is from a hoster and not from Plesk.
I have installed plesk automatic from my hoster

Now i have installed my server new und try agin install Seafile from extension.
Inall is crashed once mor with error!
