"With an error...."? And the error is?
-aj
If there is an error it is always a good idea to post the error.
Anyway, I guess its the usual one: missing system libraries with its header files, so on a debian based system try
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
oopsss sorry for missing it.
yes the error is initially it popped out with the few installations i did that then again it popped out the same error the one you mentioned (appreciated) , now once installed on the VPS will it be in production mode or i will be able to make changes in it? i mean there are two options in it 1. with zeo 2, Standalone.... which one should i choose?
@bazo you can make changes later by changing buildout.cfg, but I would strongly recommend making it a 'zeo' instance. Even if you have a small site, and want to avoid the hassle of having loadbalancing in between, you can always just start up the zeoserver and one client.
Then you have the other client just there if you need it for maintenance or when your site gets busier, and you get the added benefit of scripts like 'zeopack' which can be scheduled.
So, go for a 'zeo' install.
thank you sir. i have tried for zeo but this is the Error i even tried to reinstall the libxml2 but no success it responds in " already installed "
Below is the error
Unable to find libxml2 development libraries.
Plone installation requires the development versions of libxml2 and libxslt.
libxml2 must be version 2.7.8 or greater; libxslt must be 1.1.26 or greater.
Ideally, you should install these as dev package libraries before running install.sh.
If -- and only if -- these packages are not available for your platform, you may
try adding --static-lxml=yes to your install.sh command line to force a
local, static build of these libraries. This will require Internet access for the
installer to download the extra source.
Installation aborted.
This is what happens when i re-install
[root@server Plone-5.0-UnifiedInstaller]# yum install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

So yum is Redhat package manager not Debian ...
try:
yum install libxml-devel libxslt-devel
@bazo did you already tried to consult docs.plone.org?
We have this covered in the documentation:
http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/preparing.html?highlight=yum
CentOS
yum install gcc-c++ patch openssl-devel libjpeg-devel libxslt-devel readline-devel make which python-devel wv poppler-utils
yes finally i managed to install it on VPS. Please let me know how to access it in my browser now i have tried on http://mysite:8080 but no success, it may be because of the server has not been started. i have gone for zeo install. need help how to start it. i have connect the vps throught putty and also use winscp.
how can i start it so i can start working on it.
and do i need to have an apache webserver on my vps in from ?
@bazo,
I recommend that you read through this guide http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/
once you get a better understanding of what's happening you can adjust the steps to your needs.
The recommended webserver, btw is Nginx not Apache.
By the grace of God I have completed my website and configured the VPS now i am able to connect to my Plone site through VPS and can make changes. one more thing i need to know is that of publishing.
i have changed the page status to pubished but the browser does not pick the page from my plone website instead it takes it from apache. how to redirect plone to apache. Am i missing something here?
Could you rephrase that? Or provide screen shots?
yes sir here you go with the pics
this is the index.html page placed in my www folder. i previously created for the website. what i wanted to ask was that:
how can i redirect the main page(welcome page) created in plone, if some one type "www.biztech-resources.com " in the browser.......they should see my website's welcome page instead of the page appears in the pic. (" Site will be uploaded soon" )
OK, that helps. You should create a configuration file for Apache, as documented at http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/front-end/apache.html#id2

Thank you very much for your suggestions and help. no doubt with out your help and suggestions i would have never made it.
I have finally uploaded the website www.biztech-resources.com. Please check it out, its my first ever plone based website. On this new technology, probably a few would have worked on in Pakistan. I would again like to have your feedback and suggestions. Really need it. thanks once again guys.

your links on http://www.biztech-resources.com/our-services are relative to your computer. you may want to add the files to plone using contents and then edit the page and insert the correct links.
