I have been trying to install Seafile on one domain on my Plesk VPN server, to act as a webDAV server, primarily for uploading files too large to add to e-mails as attachments (so that others can download them).
I have follwed the (meagre) instructions in Plesk, and reached the point of clicking ‘Install’.
The progress bar runs to about 50% and then stops with an error message telling me to look in the logs.
I have found many logs under ‘Seafile > Logs’ for the domain in question. These only appear AFTER the attempted installation, although some of the log files pre-date the installation attempt. It is not clear which logs may contain anything useful.
Safile.log contains the following lines (repeated every ten seconds for about two minutes:
2022-10-26 10:58:51 socket file exists, delete it anyway

Controller.log contains the following lines, again repeated evert ten seconds:

Obviously there’s something wrong (Ports requiring setting?) and there’s a file missing. But it’s not clear what I should do about it. I am assuming that the Seafile package available in Plesk is complete and doesn’t require additional files. Can anyone offer some help, please.
