PSA 5.x Network Installer Version 1.0 Print E-mail
Written by scott   
Wednesday, 03 May 2006
I finally took the leap of calling it version 1.0. I'll be going with the linux model from here on out, 1.0.x will be bugfixes, 1.1.x will be the development tree. Things will become increasing complex as I add in the conversion functionality from legacy standard installs to the rpm version.

About
This is a network installer script I kind of hacked together at plesk to do a ximian style installation on a fresh server. The idea was to have this resolve all the dependencies on a server, so we didn't have to play hide and go seek for on all the RPM's (apache, mod_ssl, etc).
If you've never used a ximian style installation script (also used by the nessus, and opennms projects), it is a simple, one line command that will fetch and install all the necessary components for you. Ximian is a bit fancier than the rest, since they have a full X gui for the install. This is pretty much overkill in my opinion for a plesk installation. Besides, you're all probably doing this like me, from the command line, without an X server running.
From the opening doc's:


This is a network based PSA installer version 1.0. It will attempt to
retrieve dependency files through Ximian Red Carpet, and
ftp.plesk.com. If you have these files stored on your
local server, you can overriding these settings with
these commands
export PLESK_SERVER=<your plesk distro server>
export PLESK_PATH=<path to files on your PSA server>

Installation Instructions
Install your server, this is designed at this time to run on a clean server. Installation type doesn't really matter, I've tested this against Server, Desktop, Laptop, etc builds.
Log in as root
Paste in one of the commands outlined below
Email me if it breaks!



The latest updated rpm's will be downloaded an installed by the red-carpet command line util automatically.


lynx -source http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/psa/psa-install.sh | sh

or

wget http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/psa/psa-install.sh ; sh ./psa-install.sh



Questions, comments, etc can be directed to me, scott AT atomicrocketturtle.com. This is not an officially supported plesk installer at this time, just something I whipped up on my own to make my life a bit easier. No warranty, expressed or implied, yadda yadda. If this breaks things on your server, I'll be sad for you, but not responsible. :)
