Install Plesk 8 behind DSL ?

[atrocity]

Hello,

I want to setup a Plesk server behind our office DSL, but i receive always the error message :

Install package psa
Trying to define super-server internet daemon type... xinetd
Trying to check if xinetd daemon is running... done

ERROR while trying to check the host name
Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/psa_8.0.0_CentOS_4.2_build80060331.13_installing.log), fix and try again

Aborting...

My first try had this /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.70 nas.my-domain.com nas

that domain name point to our DSL IP.
How can i do to install Plesk ?
Is it possible to run it behind a DSL and firewall ?
Thanks
Best regards
Jean

Hi, if your dsl router/firewall permit (if this apliance do the dns job for local network)

put one entrie like

192.168.1.70 nas.my-domain.com

In my case I 1st tried install plesk 8 under freebsd 6.0 in one vm, in house.....and it worked after the dns entrie

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
I don't find such a feature in our DSL router
Is there no way to install Plesk in a private lan ?
The hostname is not that important, if i an install Plesk ....
Thanks for any trick, it seems that i'm not the only one searching for this ...
Regards

I clean installed FC4 and Plesk 8 on a box inside a network on DSL no problem.

I didn't make any changes. I set eth0 to get IP via DHCP (from my router) or you can even speicify your ip such as 192.68.1.70 what ever as long as it works with your network and allows outside access.

I made no change to the host file, I simply left the hostname as localhost. So I would remove the entry in your host file.

Downloaded and ran the installer and it off it went. Is your router running a firewall or blocking ports? That could be part of the trouble. Can you ping an outside IP and/or domain name?

Hello,

Your trick seems to do it ...
I leave only the line 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
in /etc/hosts
and put localhost as hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network
rebooted, and the PSA installer finished th install

The solution was so easy, that i don't think about it ...

Many thanks
Jean
