  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hi Guys,

I have just purchased a server and installed Ubuntu 12.04.

I then ran the below and it starts to install however I seem to receive the following error below and it will not let me access the web interface. Any ideas would be really appreciated?

"wget -O - http://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer | sh"


Error:

ERROR while trying to check the hostname
Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/plesk_10.4.4_installation.log), fix and try again

Well that sounds exactly a host name problem ...Please set or change your hostname with the command

#hostname NEW_NAME

Then you can try again installing plesk.
 
Output below:


root@redfire1:~# hostname
redfire1

root@redfire1:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
10.177.129.116 redfire1
.my.IP.address redfire1

Just tried renaming the hostname to existing hostname and reinstalling and it seems to be working now. Many thanks for your help!

Great that it worked for you ...Otherwise a hostname should be a full qualified domain name.
 
We should provide more clear description when hostname isn’t a full qualified domain name. Corresponding request was already submitted.
