Below is an example of how to install Plesk into OpenVZ VE (VE#11):
# vzctl create 11 --ostemplate centos-4-i386-default Creating VPS private area: /vz/private/11 Performing postcreate actions VPS private area was created # vzctl set 11 --quotaugidlimit 150 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --numproc 400:400 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --kmemsize 16384000:18022400 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --privvmpages 262144:292912 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --hostname=plesk.local --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --diskspace 2000000:2000000 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --shmpages 16384:16384 --save UB limits were set successefully # vzctl set 11 --ipadd 192.168.51.55 --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl set 11 --userpasswd root:pass Changing password for user root. passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. # vzctl set 11 --iptables "iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_limit ipt_multiport ipt_tos ipt_TOS ipt_REJECT ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_LOG ipt_length ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_ftp ip_conntrack_irc ipt_conntrack ipt_state ipt_helper iptable_nat ip_nat_ftp ip_nat_irc" --save Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl start 11 Starting VPS ... VPS is mounted Adding IP address(es): 192.168.51.55 Setting CPU units: 1000 Set hostname: plesk.local Setting quota ugidlimit: 150 VPS start in progress... # modprobe tun # lsmod | grep tun tun 6624 0 # vzctl set 11 --devices c:10:200:rw --save Setting devices Saved parameters for VPS 11 # vzctl exec 11 mkdir -p /dev/net # vzctl exec 11 mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 # vzctl exec 11 chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
Make sure that VE's hostname is resolving correctly to VE's IP address. You can also add an appropriate record to /etc/hosts as a workaround.
Then go to http://www.swsoft.com/download/plesk8/ and download appropriate autoinstaller. CentOS 4.2 in this case.
Copy and install psa-autoinstaller-<VERSION>.rpm to VE#11
execute:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/autoinstaller
select version 8.0.1 and neccessary components.
after packages were downloaded selected components are installing:
Start packages installation
