After Dist Upgrade Squeeze - Plesk changes sources.list

[Powie]

After a successfull server upgrade to Debian Squeeze PLESK 10.4.4 runs without problems.

Now tryed to install micro updates for plesk, started from within the panel. This goes wrong because plesk replaces /etc/apt/sources.list with an old lenny version and after that the installer cannot found some files....

how i have to replace autoinstaller, because I think thats the issue

 

[kaesar]

when I tried upgrade to Debian 6, I follow this steps:

- Upgrade SO to Debian 6
- Reinstall PSA with the parallels installer to newer Debian (see: http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/10/)

Witch are be your step to upgrade?

 

[Powie]

This method wont work, because autoinstaller then messages that I have to use the control panel to update because plesk is always installed...

 

[Powie]

have tried several things but found no solution

why autoinstaller replaces /etc/apt/sources.list ?

where is the old faulty version located?

 

[CyberxXx]

go in folder /etc/apt/ with ssh and check if there is any source.list.ai or somethnig source.list.something

and remove this file leave only the source.list edit this file and add only this

# main repo
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

then save exit and run comands
apt-get update
apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude
apt-get dist-upgrade

then reboot and you will have a debian 6 system.

 

[betteres]

any solution? having the same issue.

 

[Powie]

Yes, theres a solution. I wonder if parallels can found this.... For my opinnion its clearly that this is a coding error......

Can you post your sources.list?

 

[betteres]

this is what I put in manually to perform system updates and install packages

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

## This is temporary appended by Autoinstaller for
## specify source of product's packages for APT.
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_10.4.4 squeeze all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/SITEBUILDER_10.4.4 all all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/BILLING_10.4.4 all all

then when I run the auto installer to update plesk:
this is what I end up with:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20101128-00:59]/ lenny main

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20101128-00:59]/ lenny main

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

## This is temporary appended by Autoinstaller for

deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_10.4.4 squeeze all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/SITEBUILDER_10.4.4 all all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/BILLING_10.4.4 all all

and of course plesk is not up to the latest version - stuck at an older version :/

 

[betteres]

and here are the last lines of the error message:


E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Warning: there are errors in 'apt-get update'

ERROR: Not found source for system packages (release 6.0.5) in APT software sources configuration

 

[betteres]

Found the solution:
update this file: /etc/apt/sources.list.ai_back and you should be able to run the auto installer.

Hi Powie,
I am in the same position as you were (of having to upgrade to squeeze because of PHP), and as this is a busy production server, I am concerned to get it right.

The Plesk support people say I need to upgrade Debian and then perform a fresh install of Plesk 11, and then migrate the 10.4.4 Plesk config to that. http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=634116

I doon't understand why they are saying that - it looks from your experience that it is possible to a) run 10.4.4 on squeeze and b) upgrade to 11 in the normal way.

Any ideas or information?

Many Thanks,
Andy

 

[Powie]

Hi Andy,

can you post your sources.lst

 

[ASTOKES]

#cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib main non-free
deb http://php53.dotdeb.org oldstable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org oldstable all

## This is temporary appended by Autoinstaller for
## specify source of product's packages for APT.
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_10.4.4 lenny all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/SITEBUILDER_10.4.4 all all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/BILLING_10.4.4 all all


#cat /etc/apt/sources.list.ai_back
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib main non-free
deb http://php53.dotdeb.org oldstable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org oldstable all

Thanks for taking the time to look at this...

 

[ASTOKES]

Hah - I am a bit clearer now. According to Plesk the Plesk 10.4.4 is a different version for Debian 5 than the version for Debian 6. They say I need to upgrade Debian then do a clean install of either 10.4.4 (for Squeeze) or 11 (only available for squeeze)...

Does this tally with our experience?
Cheers, Andy

 

[ASTOKES]

... or is the only difference between the squeeze and lenny versions of Plesk the different sources.list?

 

[ASTOKES]

Still stuck...

Hi
I still haven't bit the bullet on this, as I don't want to risk trashing the production server during upgrade. But it is now becoming urgent as obviously lenny repositories are all long gone.
After asking parallels support, I am told that an upgrade in situ is not possible but not told why... THis thread indicates otherwise...

Any help available?

Many Thanks,
Andy
