Install Plesk Control Panel on AWS|Setup Bagisto.

The key distinction between Plesk and Cpanel is that Plesk can be installed on numerous Linux distributions and even on Windows, whereas Cpanel is primarily designed for a small number of Linux distributions.

For controlling all website-related services, such as DNS, Email, databases, FTP, and others, Plesk and Cpanel are web hosting control panels.

This guide will show you how to install the Plesk control panel and set up bagisto on Ubuntu 22.04 on the AWS server.

The installation must meet the following minimal standards:

Step 1: Update your server.

# sudo apt update

Step 2: Download Plex Installer.

To be able to download the Plesk program, we need “wget.” Then run the below command to install it if you don’t already have it:

# sudo apt install wget

Now follow these steps to get the Plesk package:

# wget http://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer

Step 3: Install the Plesk control panel.

Once the file has been downloaded, create an executable file for the Plesk installer as seen below:

# sudo chmod 755 plesk-installer

then, execute the command below to continue with the installation:

# sudo ./plesk-installer

The license terms will be presented to you after the installation has begun operating. Press ‘Enter’ after typing ‘F’ to continue.

Then you will be asked if you wish to be assisting Plesk in improving their products by exchanging information with them before proceeding to the installation.

To accept or reject this, write ‘y’ or ‘n’ here.

Now select the Plesk installation type as shown below.

Further, type ‘F’ and hit ‘Enter’ to continue after choosing the installation type. If prompted to install any missing packages, choose F and press Enter to proceed.

Now, Copy the highlighted URL and paste it into Browser. Also, make sure ports 80 and 443 are open from the Security group.

Step 4: Plesk Registration

Register for an admin password to login into Plesk. Enter all the details.

Note- Select the Radio button accordingly, if you don’t have a paid license then you can continue with the trial license.

The Plesk installation has been successfully and you will see the below page –

Click on Add Domain -> Blank Website. Enter your registered domain name here –

Click on the below icon to continue with the domain configurations –

Enter the Document root path and select your Preferred domain, if you want to access your website with www.<domain_name>.com then select the radio button accordingly.

After setting up all the details now we need to allow SSH access to the user so that he can run the commands for the user which has already been created by default when we added the domain.

Provide /bin/bash shell to the user and click on apply and then ok

Step 6- Accessing terminal

Now go back to the main dashboard and then click on “SSH Terminal” for accessing the terminal


Step 7- Creating Database

Step 9- Adding server IP to DNS
