The upgrade fails leaving mysql down which effectrively halts evey site on the server with over 1000 unique sessions daily this is a realy problem...

I restarted mysql using "inid.d/mysqld restart" looking at the logs in tmp i found the following towards the end of the autoinstaller.log -

I don't have the solution, but next time wait about 3 weeks before you update. swsoft is not good about updating correctly. I would also stay away from the updater within plesk and manually upgrade.

Anyone out there have a fix for aernative's problem??

Thanks,
poke

I get rid out of this problem by replacing /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/packagemng with the /bin/true before the upgrade Looks everything works correctly for now (this utility was automatically replaced with the one from 7.5.3 distrubition after upgrade). AFAIU, packagemng updates the installed component list, and it's a pretty useless to update this list in package uninstallation during upgrade
