This VPS was restored from a backup yesterday on a different server than it was originally on. The VPS starts, services run, and everything seems to be generally functional. A few things I looked at are shown below.

I was also able to confirm the mysql database for psa is accessable with the plesk admin password.

What steps should I take to allow Plesk to function normally?

I was able to solve the issue on my own by running chgrp psaadm /usr/lib64/sw-cp-server/sw-suexec
