You do not say what OS is on your server. But you may be able to find more information by checking /var/log/messages if you are running a Redhad/CentOS type of OS.

ı install plesk on fedora core 4 x86

I would recommend you use FC6. FC4 has been unsupported for a long time. Most of the repositories for FC4 are gone.

FC6 is much better and I love my FC6 plesk server.

Summary
SELinux prevented httpd reading and writing access to http files.

Detailed Description
SELinux prevented httpd reading and writing access to http files. Ordinarily
httpd is allowed full access to all files labeled with http file context.
This machine has a tightened security policy with the httpd_unified turned
off, This requires explicit labeling of all files. If a file is a cgi
script it needs to be labeled with httpd_TYPE_script_exec_t in order to be
executed. If it is read only content, it needs to be labeled
httpd_TYPE_content_t, it is writable content. it needs to be labeled
httpd_TYPE_script_rw_t or httpd_TYPE_script_ra_t. You can use the chcon
command to change these context. Please refer to the man page "man
httpd_selinux" or http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3 "TYPE"
refers toi one of "sys", "user" or "staff" or potentially other script
types.

Allowing Access
Changing the "httpd_unified" boolean to true will allow this access:
"setsebool -P httpd_unified=1"

The following command will allow this access:
setsebool -P httpd_unified=1

I did another clean install then setup plesk first then did upgrade. I nolonger get thest error at the point of loging into plesk.
However named still does not work.
