Installation Instructions
Obtaining the Installer Script
You can obtain the installer script from the FTP server or from the download page
http://download.pro.parallels.com/ensim/apt/ensim/EPL/10.3.4/ensim-installer.py
Before you start the installation make sure that if you select any option other than the Everything option, then refer the List of RPMs to verify the RPMs required on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server.
Attended Installation
python ensim-installer.py -n [admin_username] -p [admin_passwd] -m [admin_email]
[installation_files_source] [os_update_repository]
Examples
In the following example, the command installs Parallels Pro Control Panel on RHEL by obtaining the necessary Parallels Pro Control Panel files from Parallels FTP server and the operating system RPMs, updates RPM and extras RPM from RHN.
python ensim-installer.py -n admin -p passwd -m example1@example.com
Note:
Parallels Pro Control Panel can also be installed on a Virtuozzo server. The Virtuozzo server allows you to create multiple, isolated virtual environments on a single physical server.
Virtualmin GPL Installer
The installer should only be used on systems that are not currently running Webmin or hosting any websites. Ideally, it should be run on a system that has a fresh install of either CentOS 5, Debian 4.0, Ubuntu 8.04 or Solaris as at the moment those are the only supported operating systems. Further documentation on supported systems and install requirements is available on the Virtualmin download page.
The Linux installer can be downloaded from install.sh.
Once you have it on the Linux system you want to run Virtualmin on, execute it with the commands :
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
Because it downloads numerous packages from the Virtualmin website and your Linux distribution’s repository, it may take up to 30 minutes for the install to complete. Once it is done, you can login to Webmin at https://yourserver:10000/ to see the Virtualmin user interface.
