  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Clobbered installation

I've clobbered my installation - not yet online with users - as follows:
Lost password for Mysql DB for Sitebuilder.

Restored wrong password - thus not fixing the problem and clobbering password for admin - from Plesk 7.5.4 --

So - couldn't get back into admin on plesk.

SO - getting very tired and frustrated, rather than just stop, sleep on it and fix it in the morning, I attempted to a) delete and uninstall all rpms for both packages, then reinstall...

Well - with no proper users in Mysql - plesk couldn't install - so I finally fixed that, then, on the last try - the message 'cannot determine version information' comes up on psa_installer after first screen.

SO - now what? Does anyone know what to do, short of reinstalling linux from scratch and totally starting over?

Thanx!
 
Also delete mysql RPMS, and delete /var/lib/mysql directory. Then reinstall mysql and also delete the folders:

/etc/psa/
/usr/local/psa

and the Plesk installation will work. But you should not do this just because you forgot the password :)
 
Thank You for the help and response...

I've been doing systems work since 1967 and I must be losing it (at least last nite), because I so totally got carried away with trying stuff - without thinking....

Arghh....

Thanx, again! I appreciate you!
