Permissions Broken

[mbarlund]

Plesk will not start on my VPS.

I was told by my host that running "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v" is not recommended due to it breaking permissions in Plesk. At this time Plesk will fail to start due to permission errors.

Whats the skinny on this? I've found this command on the KB here and have used it plenty of times. And it was used several times during some recent upgrades to the server.

I did find it odd that the issue appeared "all of a sudden" - months after the server upgrades were done. I haven;t needed access to plesk in a while and low and behold I tried to log in to discover this issue.

Anyone have some advice here?

What version of Plesk you have? Really, we do not recommend to use websrvmng for Plesk 10 because there is other httpdmng command instead.

Here is what I'm on: 9.3.0 CentOS 5 93091230.07

Their (the Host) reasoning just doesn't seem to add up. I did the upgrades (and used the command in question). Everything was working like a champ afterwards. I am 99% sure I accessed Plesk at a later date with no issues. It just seems that my problem is not related to the use of that command but that's what they are blaming it on.

Who knows. Regardless, is there a way to restore Plesk to a working state without reprovisioning the server? Am I able to just reinstall via yum or something?

Sites are running fine but I cannot access the control panel.
