Plesk 8 - pleskrestore issue

[stratigos]

I recently backed up plesk 8 using pleskbackup utility on a Suse linux system running Plesk 8 in 1and1 using:
pleskbackup --all backupfilename

I then re-imaged the 1and1 server with Fedora Core 4 and Plesk 8 and tried to restore the previously backup from Suse running Plesk 8 using:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map pleskbackup-20060606 -map MAP

and then

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore pleskbackup-20060606 -map MAP -level all

When running the last, I get :

## ERROR in line 2 : Syntax error: database server is not specified

That's a bit strange to me, because after opening the MAP file, I clearly see mysql and postgress servers defined.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

PS. The backup includes only 1 domain and it's contents.

Solution

Ouch, the password was causing that message to appear! Because of the symbols that were included in the mysql password the script was confused.
