Panel Initialization

After installation, you should perform the Panel initialization (also known as the initial configuration). During the initialization, you set the Panel administrator password, e-mail, and contact information.

Note: After you initialize Panel, the Service Provider view will be automatically selected and the Panel administrator will not see the page offering to select a Panel view.

To initialize Panel via API RPC:

Send to the server a request packet that satisfies the following conditions:

1. The server power user credentials are specified as the HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN and HTTP_AUTH_PASSWD values in HTTP header of the packet.
2. The packet content is as follows:

   <packet version="1.6.3.0">

   <server>

   <initial_setup>

      <admin>

         <admin_cname>JohnDoe BV.</admin_cname>

         <admin_pname>John Doe</admin_pname>

         <admin_phone>+49 89333333</admin_phone>

         <admin_fax>+49 893333303</admin_fax>

         <admin_email>john@example.com</admin_email>

         <admin_address>Theatinerstrasse 96</admin_address>

         <admin_city>Muenchen</admin_city>

         <admin_state>Bavaria</admin_state>

         <admin_pcode>80333</admin_pcode>

         <admin_country>DE</admin_country>

         <send_announce>true</send_announce>

      </admin>

      <password>Qwerty1234</password>

      <server_name>example.com</server_name>

   </initial_setup>

   </server>

   </packet>

To initialize the Panel via CLI:

Run the following command (you should have the power user privileges):

• On Linux/Unix:

  /usr/local/psa/bin/init_conf --init -passwd jskekekHTD -email johndoe@example.com

• On Windows:

  %plesk_cli%\init_conf.exe --init -passwd jskekekHTD -email johndoe@example.com

To initialize the Panel via GUI:

1. Log in to the Panel at https://<host-name-or-IP>:8443 using the server power user credentials.
2. Specify e-mail, new password, contact info and click OK.
