Auto installation problem on RHEL4

[Adam1234]

Hi,

Having problem during autinstallation process of plesk 8.1.0.

- psa_installer_v3.1.0_build061201.02_os_RedHat_el4_i386
- psa-8.1.0-rhel4.build81070224.19.i586.rpm.tar.gz

Here is the following Linux environment before PLESK installation:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for 32-bit x86)
PHP 5.1.6
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.27

Here is the following problem with MySQL in autoinstaller log file

===> Installing rbash
Checking that /bin/rbash registered as login shell...
/bin/rbash
/bin/rbash is already registered as login shell

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4939: line 11044: /etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory
Trying to start MySQL server... /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.4939: line 10890: /etc/init.d/mysqld: No such file or directory

ERROR while trying to start MySQL server

Aborting...

STOP psa-8.1.0-rhel4.build81061129.22 installing AT Sun Mar 25 05:41:20 IST 2007
----------------------------------------------------------

MySQL 5.0.27 is started and root password Null

Auto installation is trying to start mysqld again from
/etc/init.d/mysqld which in fact is running from
/usr/sbin/mysqld

Where I can force or do changes to point autoinstaller to right MySQL path - if this is the case ?

Also during the installation I noticed some warnings:

package MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386 conflict with package mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.i386

MySQL 5.0.27 and php 5.1.6 are not distrubuted via RHN channels so they were installed separately before Plesk installation.

Did any of you come across with the same problem ?

How were they installed? As you can see in the error message, Plesk looks for files like /etc/init.d/mysqld (to restart mysqld). My guess is that your MySQL (and PHP?) installs have files in different places than the standard locations. That will probably not play nice with Plesk.

I rebuilt rpm database and checked packages, some of the were installed some of them not. I will try to remove them.

It looks like the only solution will be to setup PLESK on clean box and then do necessary updates like PHP or MySQL unless sb had the same problem and know how to sort this out.
