Question install plesk with existing psa database
- Thread starter dj ramc
- Start date
Probably not. However, you could install Plesk and then import/overwrite the psa database with a backup. In that case however you should be sure to have a psa database of exactly the same release, because else almost certainly Plesk won't work correctly as datafields might be missing, have a wrong format or important table entries might be missing.

This knowledge base article describes how to upgrade MariaDB: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213403429
There is no need to remove Plesk and no need to remove any data. Actually, everything stays in place and the upgrade works without problems as described.
If you took a different path and removed Plesk, then normally the web space directory /var/www/vhosts should still exists. If it still exists and if other databases still exist, make a backup of them, then reinstall Plesk, then restore /var/www/vhosts structure from backup and restore psa database. Then run the web server reconfiguration utility to re-create all webhosting configuration files from your psa database. It should give you an almost correct installation as you had before.

We had same problem during update from Ubuntu 16 to Ubuntu 18. For some reason Plesk was no more part of our APT sources anymore and older plesk version was deleted during migration, because of mysql dependency.
(Also, for some reason, including "psa" database, which you must restore from a database backup in any case)
You should check, if deinstallation deletes configuration files of Plesk. Because normally deletion of package don't do and this is important to recover without a full reinstallation.
If not, you can simple install plesk like a default installation and everything should come back.
But don't execute the default installation routine. We didn't do, because Plesk cannot "install" on an existing database -> We wouldn't check this result.
We then used the plesk repair tools, to check all configurations. (Plesk Repair Utility)

How to upgrade MySQL 5.5 to 5.6/5.7 or MariaDB 5.5 to 10.x on Linux?

The version is wrong. You cannot use a 10.5 repository to update to a 10.4 version. I see you are using a script for the upgrade, but is the script content correct and have you set the correct MariaDB repository in YUM?
Change repository file /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo to new MariaDB version:
Also check your script that it refers to the correct new version in all lines.
Change repository file /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo to new MariaDB version:
Code:
#http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.5/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB

That cannot be right, because your output clearly states that the script is trying to update with a 10.4 repository. Your system is either not using the given yum file or that is overwritten again or it is using a wrong mirror or the mirror is not updated to the latest version or, or, or, ...
After all the mess you have described above I think it is not worth to spend any more time with upgrade or fixing attempts. It's just not worth the effort. Given the errors as described above I think it is very unlikely that this is leading anywhere useful. At least it will need on-server investigation, but again, it makes no sense to invest more time.
