• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Blank CP Login Screen after 7.5.1 to 7.5.3 upgrade

After trying to re-install psa via manual install one of the last messages i see is key registration failed.

/tmp/psa_7.5.3_RedHat_el3_build75050506.13_installing.log
shows the same thing as i posted above when installing plesk.

Those were the only 2 logs in here.

In the old upgrade.log there was this error.

Key file not found!

so i ran up2date mrtg
says requires

upon searching i found that libgd.so.1.8 is in the GD library.
There was no update on up2date so i then went to rpmfind.net and did a search for GD

found ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/enterprise/3ES/en/os/SRPMS/gd-1.8.4-12.3.1.src.rpm
which is the rpm src file so i downloaded it and rebuilt it.

rpmbuild --rebuild gd-1.8.4-12.3.1.src.rpm

which failed

so i then downloaded i386 for red hat 9

Error:
error: Failed dependencies:
gd = 2.0.28 is needed by (installed) gd-devel-2.0.28-1.30.1

sp i then forced the install of gd-1.8 since that was only place i could find the file i needed.
I then ran up2date mrtg and it worked
I then forced the install of gd-2.0.28-1.30.1 again it worked

I then went into auto updater AGAIN - FAILED

FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK

the command
rpm -Uvh --justdb psa-7.5.3-rhel3.build75050506.13.i586.rpm

worked for me. Of couse it then says i already had it installed to i then did this
rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps psa-7.5.3-rhel3.build75050506.13.i586.rpm

and it worked and i am now in latest version.

Now to see if everything else works
