I've just tried to upgrade my RH7.3 Plesk 6 box to Plesk 7.02 using the autoinstaller. My upgrade from 5 to 6 went smoothly so I was fairly optimistic. I know, I know, so naive...

All seemed well until it got stuck on "Reading /etc/psa/psa.conf" part way through, not budging and using 100% processor. This is just after "Trying to check if xinetd daemon is running... done"

I can't rerun the autoinstaller, and although Apache is still up Plesk and Qmail are very broken.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm guessing I need to go back and apply RPMs manually, or possibly might have to curse Plesk and get the server wiped, but am going to pause and await any helpful advice before messing further.

Any suggestions...?

Eventually I tried editing /etc/hosts to ensure the hostname resolves to 127.0.0.1 (not sure if that's correct? or should it resolve to the external IP?), as mentioned somewhere as a potential problem, uninstalled some of the RPMs that had been installed, and rebooted.

I was then able to rerun the autoinstaller and everything seems to be back up and running, with Plesk 7.0.2 in place, now I just need to check I didn't break anything when trying fixes.

Psa 5 to 6 your most likely ok ..

The game start after... as you have seen..

I suggest not using the autoinstaller..

Plesk is so buggy these days, i doubt that the autoinstaller will work fine at 100%

better to DL it on your server then do a rpm -Uvh *.rpm..
But make good backup ... You may possibly have to go back if you have too mutch problem..

I havent updated my box whit customer still too afraid of the current 7.02 know bug ... lol.. its not realy funny btw to have patch so badly done...

7.0.2 Autoinstaller crashed my rpm database. Had to repair it, and also got problems with domain user's login.

Is it recomendable to stay with 7.0.0... or is it *really* dangeorus...

how did you repair your rpm database?
