Although we own a dedicated server, it is managed with Plesk (shared hosting envirionment). We tried many times to install Drupal on one of the hosted domains but we always failed. The problem is to grant priviliges to the MySQL database and we do not know how to do this. We created databases through the Plesk Contraol Panel as well as created them through the Linux/MySQL command prompts. Everything failed. Has anyone ever set up a Drupal site on a Plesk server? Please tell us how to do. We consider paid services as well!
the issue resolved now. The issue due to the mysql grand permission. I have gave the permission via command prompt,
Plesk is simply a management panel, you can always open SSH and connect like that, if you ever need help again with plesk or your server, let me know.
1. Follow the drupal accession instructions at http://buildownwebsite.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-install-drupal-cms-in-3-simple.html 2. For the ‘mv’ command, do this from the httpdocs directory: mv drupal-4.7.0/* drupal-4.7.0/.htaccess ./ 3. In plesk, go to your area (assuming you host assorted domains). Beneath there you will acquisition Services > Databases. Now, Tools > Add New Database. You can actualize the database drupal needs. I alleged abundance “homedrupalâ€. 4. Look at the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/43807 . To log into the database, I had to log in application my ambassador username and password. 5. In plesk, go to Hosting > Book Manager , httpdocs directory. Follow instructions beneath CONNECTING DRUPAL. Accomplish abiding you bang on the little “edit†figure on the far appropriate of the band the filename is on in Plesk so that you aren’t aloof examination the file. 6. Accomplish abiding you alpha the all-important curve with a distinct adduce and end with a distinct quote. I charge accept spent 20 account addition out that the curve I afflicted in settings.php did not end with a distinct quote. 7. When you aboriginal login to the site, accomplish abiding you change your password. Otherwise, if you don’t accept the allotment email, there is no way for you to get into the arrangement to administrate it! 8. Once logged in, go to Administrate > Settings > General Settings. Specify a accurate email address. If you don’t specify this, again you’ll never accept allotment emails. I begin this was array of a catch-22: you accept to do this the actual aboriginal time you get into the arrangement because you will never get a allotment email otherwise!
I did so by creating a "domain" in Plesk using a non-existent domain name and installing Drupal there. Then I created a subdomain under a valid working domain and redefined the document root for this subdomain as the Drupal root (redefined within the vhost.conf file for the subdomain). All of this appeared to be working properly because entering the URL for the subdomain in a browser takes me to the first page of the installation (select language). The next page is where the requirements problem appears. The folder within /sites identified as needing permissions adjusted is also correct - the folder named as the subdomain. The files and folders in the subdomain have a different owner than those of the Drupal install but the group is the same so I have given group write permissions to the settings.php file and the two folders listed in the error message but that does not clear the message. I hope I'm not missing something obvious but I'm stalled for now.
