  • 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'm trying to run the updater, and I get the following error:
----- begin of output -----
Installing /PSA_7.5.4/Standard/psa_hotfix6_v7.5.4_build75060123.10_os_FreeBSD_5.3_i386.sh
bsdtar 1.01.011, libarchive 1.01.013
Use gtar
/usr/bin/gtar

Installation of this Plesk distribution requires that Perl 5.008007 version be installed on the server!

However, if I check the perl version on the server, it shows that perl5.8.7 is already installed:
hostname:/tmp>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i386-freebsd-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Which Perl does the Plesk look for? How can I make sure it looks for the right binary?

Thank you in advance!

I don't know much about Plesk and FreeBSD, but was Perl built manually and installed or what it installed using pkg_add?

Plesk on Linux uses rpm to identify packages installed, it may be using the pkg_* tools to do the same on FreeBSD. If it was built manually without using the ports collection then that may be your issue. Run pkg_info and see if you can poke around for the perl installation.
 
Hi Wagner,

Thanks for the help. Actually, when I issue a pkg_info -a, I see:

Information for perl-5.8.7:

Comment:
Practical Extraction and Report Language

Description:
Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk and
shell. See the manual page for more hype. There are also many books
published by O'Reilly & Assoc. See pod/perlbook.pod for more
information.

So it looks to be installed on the pkg_* database. Is there anything else I can look at?

Thanks!

It was more or less a wild guess, only thing I can suggest is to sit tight and hopefully someone with FreeBSD/Plesk expertise will step in and have an idea.
 
Thanks wagner, I appreciated it. Anybody else wants to give it a shot?

Thanks in advance!
