Is there any way to find out why this install is failing for me? I'm trying to install the MSMTP component in a highly restrictive environment, so I believe the yum utility is unable to access the necessary url or IP being used to download this component. Also, is there a way to install components via command line?
@Blake,
The cause of failing install may be found in log file /var/log/plesk/install/autoinstaller3.log
To install components via CLI, use the command "plesk installer" and follow the instructions from the appeared menu.
