List of Plesk Components Available for Plesk 8.1 Installation Through Command Line

This section covers the installation of selected Plesk 8.1 components through command line interface.

Each Plesk component has its own unique identifier (ID). This identifier is used when you select the components you want to install. To specify what features should be installed, use the ADDLOCAL variable with the list of required components, separating them with a comma:

msiexec /i <msi path>
<variable name1>=<value1> <variable name2>=<value2> ... <variable nameN>=<valueN> ADDLOCAL=<FeatureID1>,<FeatureID2>,...,<FeatureIDN>

Some components can be installed in the user-specified locations. To specify where such a component should be installed, use the corresponding location variable (see the Location variable column in the table below). For example, to install Plesk in silent mode with Acronis installed into the 'c:\Acronis' directory and documentation in PDF format installed into the default location, use the following command:

msiexec /i <msi path> /q ACRONIS_INSTALLDIR="c:\Acronis" ADDLOCAL=Acronis,PDFDoc

Note: We recommend specify all paths without the ending slash ('\') (e.g. "c:\Acronis" instead of "c:\Acronis\"), because the ending slash might cause some problems later.

The table below contains the list of available Plesk components and their respective feature IDs along with location variables (where applicable). Note that feature IDs are case-sensitive (for example, 'MySQL' is not the same as 'mysql').
