My 9.0 upgrade experience

[kaizer]

I have used Plesk for over 3 years now, and I've set up a Dell 2U rack server with Suse Linux Enterprise Server. The 2 first years I used version 9, and upgrade to 10 earlier this year. As for the Plesk upgrades, I never had major problems. It seems that Plesk works fine on SLES servers (even major upgrades from version 7-8 and 8-9).

When I upgraded the server last night, I was a bit worried after reading all the problems some of you have. All I had to do, was to remove a hotfix for Plesk 8.6 - and it worked like a charm.

I just wanted to tell you all about my experience, and would like to hear your happy upgrade stories as well

Hi

Could you please tell me how I can remove a hotfix as I have the same problem.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Terry

Hi Terry,
first off, I tried to remove the hotfix by writing this command: rpm -e packagename

It said that the hotfix was not installed. Then i tried to install it, it says it was already installed. So I figured out I had to use the YAST tool (for SLES10) to install/uninstall packages. It is a GUI tool to maintain packages, so I had to remove the hotfix5 (it has an independance of another package, but just remove this one as well).

Then try again. It should work

Thanks for that much appreciated, however once you removed hotfix5 did the install go smoothly thereafter?

Again, thanks

Yes - no problem what so ever. The only thing I had to disable the SPF spam protection because none of the Microsoft Outlook users could display emails correctly.

We tried to do rpm -e psa-hotfix5-8.6.0-8.6.0-fc6.build86080930.03.x86_64

however then got:

error: Failed dependencies:
psa-hotfix5-8.6.0 = 8.6.0-fc6.build86080930.03 is need by (installed) psa-updates-8.6.0-fc6.build86080930.03.noarch

Any ideas as you may have also got this, sorry just new to linux

Hi, you need to remove this one as well: psa-updates-8.6.0-fc6.build86080930.03.noarch

maybe this article with the fix will help:
Incorrect header for incoming or outgoing messages when SPF spam protection is switched on
