Setup Checklist

[John Addison]

Hello,

Sorry for the newbie questions, never used software like this.

I have a Dell Poweredge 1850 that I wish to play with the trial version on. I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 and now i'm ready to install. I have purchased a domain to test with, but i'm a little unsure about whats next. Is there anything I need to do with windows before installing Plesk Panel apart from install IIS?

Thanks
John

Hello John,

Take a look at the Meeting Installation Requirements page of the Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2 for Windows Installation Guide:

Before you install Parallels Plesk Panel on your server, make sure the following requirements are met:
...
Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed on your system with WWW and FTP support.
...

It seems like you should install IIS first.

Regards,
Denis.
