Step 2 : Plesk 7.4 Reloaded Installation on CentOS 4.x

UPDATE YUM

Why do I set YUM? YUM is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages (this description taken from Duke University Linux Project. If your OS doesn’t have YUM installation, READ a tutorial on ‘How to Install YUM‘ later).

We will be using a packages from Atomic Rocket Turtle
Here is how to set YUM :

Install ART (Atomic Rocket Turtle) GPG Key

[root@ ~]wget http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
[root@ ~]rpm –import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

Go to etc directory and open yum configuration file using vi or other editor

[root@ ~]# cd /etc
[root@ etc]# vi yum.conf

Find distroverpkg in [main] section of yum config file, and change into:

distroverpkg=redhat-release

Find gpgcheck in [main] section of yum config file, and set to :

gpgcheck=1

Here is important part of yum config file,
under :
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN seperate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/4ES/
[atomic-app-vault]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA App Vault RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault/
[psa-7.5]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 7.5 RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa-7.5/4ES/

Step 1 : Plesk7.5 Reloaded Installation on CentOS 4.x

We are using an original autoinstaller from Plesk Site to install Plesk 7.5. Download Plesk 7.5 Reloaded here. If you already have an account in Plesk,sign in with your account, but if you don’t, please register

After sign in, choose Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (AS/ES) for i 586 distribution, and download Autoinstaller build 75050908.11. Download it to your computer.
Plesk only have a license key for 1 domain. If you want more than 1 domain, you can buy an upgrade license key here after installation

Rename Plesk autoinstaller into a simple name, e.g psa_redhat.
Then upload it to your online repository, e.g your web site (if you don’t have it you can use services like Box)

Download it to your server using wget and put into ~ (root directory)

[root@ ~]# wget url_of_your_psa_autoinstaller
[root@ ~]# chmod +x your_psa_autoinstaller

Then, You Must Install CentOS PGP Key(tutorial here) and Install RedHat GPG Key(tutorial here)

Step 1 is finish for now, we’ll go to step 2 in the next post where we are preparing CentOS and run autoinstaller

Pre-Install Plesk 7.5 Reloaded : Disabled CentOS Firewall and SELINUX

UPDATE

CentOS Firewall needs to be disabled. Plesk has its own firewall, and CentOS firewall can interfere, blocking an access to Plesk Administrator Site . I suggest to run it before install Plesk (pre-install)
To disabled it, run :

# system-config-securitylevel
Select disabled and press OK

To check that CentOS firewall has been disabled, run :

# iptables -L
Output :

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

SELinux is a security extension of CentOS that should provide extended security. SELinux needs to be disabled

Edit /etc/selinux/config
# vi /etc/selinux/config
Set SELINUX=disabled

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Reboot CentOS
# reboot
or
# shutdown -r now

Continue : Plesk 7.5 Reloaded Installation in Centos 4.x

UPDATE

I didn’t succesful install plesk 7.5 reloaded in CentOS 4.x using Plesk 7.5 CentOS 3.3 rpm files.

There is another way to install Plesk 7.5 Reloaded in CentOS 4.x
What you need is :
1. Basic knowledge of Linux (to help a little, i’ll give you a basic linux tutorials in between)
2. CentOS 4.x with minimal configuration
3. Internet Connection (you need this to download source files needed to complete installations)
4. A lot of patient and spirit :-)

I’ll give tutorials in separate posting, so we can easily look every step we’ve made. If you have question, just leave a message or comment

Apple Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows

I probably late to install Apple Safari. I have an installer from June (an early release), and save it in a harddisk until now. I find out that all menu bar text disappeared after installation.

Apple Safari updated to the latest version from Apple Website with Apple Software Update.

I like Safari. I hope they will releases : link to proxy setting, cookie management, printing page numbers, title, and margins (especially this one,good printing capability in firefox 1.5 made me turn head againstIE 6 until Microsoft release IE 7 with better printing capability)
