Key not found after upgrading to 7.5.4

[ingber]

I'm a new user to Plesk - got it in a dedicated server, but version 7.50. Tried to upgrade through the CP to 7.5.4 and now when trying to access the CP, it says (in a blank screen):

"The file constants.php3 is part of Plesk distribution. It cannot be run outside of Plesk environment."

So, I didn't give up. When tried to start psa from the shell (after issuing a 'stopall', I got:

It sounds like my 7.5.4 upgrade didn't go through, and now I'm in limbo...

My key file is there at: /etc/psa/psa.key

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance for any help,
-daniel
ps: happy turkey day for everyone!

That particular "key not found" error is referring to the DrWeb key file. This is normal since you have the 'free' or 'trial' version of DrWeb. Just above the begin of the DrWeb items, it shows:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl start: httpd started
Starting Plesk: [ OK ]

Check your /tmp directory for the installer or updater log file. Check carefully to find any warnings or failures in this log, which would indicate that the 7.5.4 did not complete or had problems.

Also, the Plesk license key from 7.5.0 should be upgraded to a 7.5.4 license key for proper operation.

Thanks ShadowMan for taking the time to post your answer.

I went ahead and tried to install again using rpm instead, and after a few mistrials it finished ok and now it works

Seems the 7.5.0 key works as well...

Thanks again!

The old key is 'supposed' to auto-update, I only mentioned that earlier in case it did not. But if it's working, then it must have auto-updated to a new key.
