Install Problems

Guest
I just bought a Plesk licence, and I tried to run the auto installer (psa_installer_v2.0.0_build75050908.11_os_Debian_3.1_i686) but I had a few problems.

Firstly, there was an error half way through the installer about being unable to resolve hostnames, so I quickly edited my /etc/resolv.conf and found that my name servers had been changed to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else. I changed them back to my ISPs, then restarted the the auto installer.

This time, I found that lots of packages had become half installed.

So now I can't run the installer, or fix the package problems - and I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions?

I got this message from Plesk support. I didn't use this because it was quicker for me to drive to the data centre and reinstall Debian and Plesk - but I hope it helps!:

Dear Andy,

Please remove sources to woody and testing in /etc/apt/sources.list and
run command
apt-get update

After that you should run the following commands:
dpkg -r --force-all psa-courier-imap-add
dpkg -r --force-all psa-imp
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/psa-courier*
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/psa-imp*
apt-get -f install

If there will be any problems please let us know.
 
Hi

I have used your instructions and it worked. But I have a new error!

Have a look at this. I'm lost.
