Plesk 10 on XenServer

TimPeeters

New Pleskian
Hi,

I installed a fresh CentOS 5.5 x64 VM on Xen. After that I installed Plesk 10, and all went fine. After the install it says to go to http://hostname:8443, but that doesn't work at all.

When starting up the only thing I can see going wrong is:

Key file: /opt/drweb/drweb32.key - Key file was not found! (No such file or directory)
A path to a valid license key file was not specified.
Plesk authorization failed: HTTP request error [7]
Error: Plesk Software not running.
[FAILED]

All the rest starts just fine, but still port 8443 is unreachable...

Please help. Thank you.
 
Did you tried to run it with

/etc/init.d/psa start

Is there any error?
Try to find a reason in /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log
 
This is the result

# /etc/init.d/psa start
Starting psa... done
Starting xinetd service... done
Starting named service... done
Starting mysqld service... done
Starting postgresql service... done
Starting psa-spamassassin service... done
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started
Starting mail handlers tmpfs storage
Starting psa... done
Starting drwebd service... failed

The log only contains "server started" and "server stopped" messages...
 
# lsof -i tcp:8443
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sw-cp-ser 1282 sw-cp-server 7u IPv4 4603 TCP *:pcsync-https (LISTEN)
 
What is the problem now? Could you please be more specific?
 
I solved the problem in the meanwhile. It was the firewall. Strange that Plesk doesn't configure this automatically when installing...
