Migration from Plesk 7.5.4 to 8.2 Problems

[gaw2]

Hello

I have recently tried to migrate from a Plesk 7.5.4 running on Redhat 9 to a new server running Plesk 8.2 on Fedora 4.

The migration went through fine with no errors, but when I started pointing domains to new server, only the Plesk default page was displayed. All the files are located on the server and you can view the site using the site preview function.

I have also tried different start pages e.g index.htm and index.php.

I have also deleted a domain and re set it up, and re uploaded the files and still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a
should have plesk initialize the configuation you need.

or simply disable the domain and reenable it from the control panel and it should activate it for you.
also make sure the dns resolution is working , you may need to insure that you are using 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf for your nameserver

Hello

Thank you for the reply!

I am running external DNS servers do I still need to run a local DNS Server.
When I try to start the Bind service I get the following error.

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:156
psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by dnsmng: dnsmng: Service /etc/init.d/named failed to start')
1: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:28

Any ideas???

Kind regards

Well that does say why your domains aren't working. You need to get named to start. So check the logs and find out whats going on with bind.

what's there error when you run /etc/init.d/named start

Hello

When I run /etc/init.d/named start it is already running, just Plesk doesn't show it as running.

I also ran /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a

It looks like a DNS propagation issue. The problem seams to be clients are being directed to the default page on the new server, before its updated its DNS records, to display the right content and not the default page.

This seams to only an issue with migrated domains, when I create new ones everything is fine.

Any ideas on how I can force the server to display the correct content if the files and site are already set-up.

Kind regards,
