"Error: HTTPD_LOG_D not defined"

[derhendrik]

hello,
sorry for my bad english, but i'm from germany...

I tried to update Plesk from 8.0.1 to 8.1. At first, everything was o.k., but then i got a mail with this information:

i add the information as attachment, because it's too long;-)
click me

after this msg i tried to restart plesk and got this failure notice:

Error: HTTPD_LOG_D not defined
Error: HTTPD_LOG_D not defined
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl start: httpd could not be started

I don't know, what i could do now.
I hope you can help me.

Thanks in Advance!

Yours Sincerely,

Hendrik Dörr

Make sure that HTTPD_LOG_D defined in Plesk configuration file:

# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf|grep HTTPD_LOG_D
HTTPD_LOG_D /var/log/httpd

If it is not, just add it there and try to upgrade Plesk forcibly one more time.

hello,

well, ok. the failure notice isn't there now, but there is now another failure notice:

Error: NAMED_ZONES_CONF not defined
Error: NAMED_ZONES_CONF not defined
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl start: httpd could not be started

how can i define "named_zones_conf"?

thanks in advance


Yours Sicerely,

I experienced exactly the same problems. Everything started after adding the following lines:

NAMED_ZONES_CONF /etc
NAMED_OPTIONS_CONF /etc
HTTPD_LOG_D /var/log
AWSTATS_TOOLS_D /var/lib
AWSTATS_BIN_D /var/lib
AWSTATS_ETC_D /etc
CURL_CA_BUNDLE_FILE /usr/include/curl
HTTPD_INCLUDE_D /etc/httpd/conf

My only serious problem now is that https://<my plesk domain>:8443 gives a completely blank page

 

[derhendrik]

Hello,

sry, but my work must go on...
i need support, please...



Yours Sincerely,

Hendrik Dörr

edit: no errors anymore, but there is now a blank page too, same problem like jpvdpoel has...

Guys, try to locate the issue with help of the following FAQ article:

Hope it helps. Please post the results after investigation.

I also found that page. Unfortunately setting display PHP errors on still produced a blank page.

I couldn't find a solution, so I did a rollback to PLESK 3.0.1, and won't upgrade for a while, not until all these problems with upgrading are solved.

I will be following this thread hoping that derhendrik finds a solution. I might reconsider upgrading then.

same problem again-> blank page...

i would like install an older version, but i can't...
i rent this server by strato.de and there is no rpm package or so on...
plesk was installed as i got the server.
there is only one way to install plesk again: setting up again the complete server.
this solution is in my opinion impossible.

i'll call the strato-supportcenter now. hopely they can send me and older plesk version or so on

Hendrik Dörr


edit: oh wow, i found a rpm package, great
but i don't know how to install plesk
well, I'll try it. hopely it will work

 

[derhendrik]

i think, i've found a solution:
well, it doesn't work@my server, but i hope it will work on your server:

log in per ssh
change to the psa directory
go to admin directory
go to conf directory
edit httpsd.conf
find line "Listen 8880"
delete this line, save httpsd.conf and start psa again.

so. this is a solution from plesk-forum.de

try it
