Acronis True Image server/echo server on Ubuntu 8.04 with Parallels

As usual the trueimage files from Parallels/SwSoft don’t compile properly on linux.  More specifically the snapapi26 module.

Tried recompiling with:

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.24 build-essential linux-headers-2.6.24-24
cd /usr/src/
tar -xjf linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2
dkms remove -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.29 –all
dkms ldtarball –archive=/usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.7.29-all.tar.gz
dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.29 –config /boot/config-2.6.24-24-server –arch i686 –kernelsourcedir /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24

However, the build didn’t work and the snapapi26 module could not be installed.

The following URL links to a tarball which helps install the snapapi26 on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10:

Plesk 9 Linux, Acronis module bug

When you upgrade Plesk expect bugs… this one was slightly annoying but not critical.  Going to the modules area and clicking on the Acronis management module it would display a black page.  Plesk developers released a fix a few weeks after discovery:

Please try the solution:

2. extract archive

cd $psa_root
tar -zxvf $psa_root/plesk9_patch_148887.tar.gz
