All sorts of problems with plesk (permissions?)

[lancep]

Hi, I am having big problems with plesk. On accessing some areas I get a bunch of errors in boxes at the top of the page, and I cannot seem to actually do anything. For example, I cannot change email passwords - I tried once, and errors appeared upon clicking ok. I rebooted the server and the error went away - I thought I had it fixed, but the password did not change. Is there any way I can somehow reinstall plesk but keep my stuff? I can provide additional specifics on the errors if needed, but they generally talk about not being able to open locks, having no permissions etc.

Do you use SELinux? if so, its possible that your policy didnt get upgraded with the necessary permission set that plesk needs. Thats happened to me a couple of times now.

To reinstall linux (on a FC or RHEL box) go to /root/psa and force a reinstall of the base RPMs.

Something like this (your directory and version # may be different)

cd /root/psa/PSA_8.2.1/dist-rpm-RedHat-el4-i386/base
rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm

If you dont have the files anymore, you can go to swsoft and download the current version full package and extract contents and then do the same thing.
