The installation of Plesk 8.1 through command line interface is recommended only for advanced users. It is assumed that the reader of this section and its subsections possesses a sufficient degree of knowledge about creating files and working with command line interface (including the use of variables).
Note: If you have the Plesk network installer, extract the required .msi installer file before you install Plesk 8.1 using command line interface (CLI). To extract the file, unpack the network installer executable file with WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/) in a folder. The required .msi installer file has a name like plesk_x.x.x_buildYYMMDD.HH.exe file, where x.x.x is the version number, YY is the two last digits of the year, MM is the month, DD is the day and HH is the hour when the build was created.
To install Plesk 8.1 from command line using network installer:
Open the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd.exe) and run the following command, supplying the full path to the .msi file in place of <msi path> and specifying other installation options in place of <variable name>=<value>:
msiexec /i <msi path> <variable name1>=<value1> <variable name2>=<value2> ... <variable nameN>=<valueN>
To install Plesk 8.1 from command line using web installer:
Open the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd.exe) and run the following command, supplying the full path to the .msi file in place of <msi path> and specifying other installation options in place of <variable name>=<value>:
setupplesk.exe <msi path> <variable name1>=<value1> <variable name2>=<value2> ... <variable nameN>=<valueN>
For example, the following command installs Plesk into the 'c:\plesk bin' directory and Plesk data into the 'd:\plesk data' directory:
msiexec /i plesk_8.1.0_build061017.19.msi INSTALLDIR="c:\plesk bin" DATADIR="d:\plesk data"
To do the same using web installer, run:
setupplesk.exe INSTALLDIR="c:\plesk bin" DATADIR="d:\plesk data".
