RESOLUTION

Before installation verify that operating system is up-to-date, it has all official patches installed. Plesk Control Panel was built to work with the latest version.

When running autoinstaller it is recommended that you use the ports snapshot shipped with this product version for the following reasons: precompiled system binary packages are available for this snapshot, which reduces product installation time. Product was tested on this snapshot and we do not guarantee that product will function properly on other ports snapshots.

Additionally before start the installation it is useful putting all dependency packages on the server, this prevents fresh built of each and may decrease the installation time.
For that create directory /usr/ports/packages/swsoft/All on the server and put packages from the link below into them.
