Step 4. Enabling the Installer to Download Files from the Local FTP Server

After downloading the files to your local FTP server, you need to enable the installer to obtain the installation files from your local FTP server. To enable downloads from your local FTP server, you must run the ensim-installer.py script using the --ftp-server option with the script.

To enable downloads from your local FTP server:

1. Log in to the server on which you want to install Parallels Pro Control Panel.
2. Download the installer script from your local FTP server to the server on which you want to install Parallels Pro Control Panel. The installer script is located in the directory /home/ftp/<epl_rel>.<os_type>.<os_version>/tools.
3. Run the script ensim-installer.py. Use the --help option with the script to learn more about the various command line options you can use with the script.

   python ensim-installer.py -nadmin -ppasswd --ftp-server=<local_ftp_server_url> -u ftp://ftp:ftp@swsoft.com@<updates_repository> -o ftp://ftp:ftp@swsoft.com@<os_repository>

   Where:

   • -n is the user name of your Server Administrator account
   • -p is the account password
   • --ftp-server is the host name of your local FTP server repository
   • -u is the complete path to the FTP server repository containing the operating system RPM updates
   • -o is the complete path to the FTP server repository containing the operating system RPMs

     The installer is now configured to obtain the Parallels Pro Control Panel installation files from your local FTP server. For detailed instructions, refer to the document Parallels Pro Control Panel for Linux Installation Guide. You can find the document on the Web at the Parallels Pro for Linux Documentation page (http://www.parallels.com/en/pro/docs).

     Ensure that your local FTP server is periodically updated with the latest files from Parallels Pro Control Panel FTP server.
