Plesk 9.5.4 - Error 500 after login

Mao

New Pleskian
Hi,

I've tried searching this board already to look for possible answers but no luck so far.

I have Plesk 9.5.4 on CentOS 5.5 x86_64. Plesk login page looks fine but after logging in there, it shows "500 - Internal Server Error". Here's the error logs.

2011-08-19 15:24:40: (mod_fastcgi.c.1000) the fastcgi-backend /usr/bin/sw-engine-cgi -c /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini -d auto_prepend_file=auth.php3 -u psaadm failed to start:

2011-08-19 15:24:40: (mod_fastcgi.c.1007) if you try do run PHP as FastCGI backend make sure you use the FastCGI enabled version.
You can find out if it is the right one by executing 'php -v' and it should display '(cgi-fcgi)' in the output, NOT (cgi) NOR (cli)

When I manually issue the command "/usr/bin/sw-engine-cgi -c /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini -d auto_prepend_file=auth.php3 -u psaadm" from command line, it looks fine.

[root@server ~]# /usr/bin/sw-engine-cgi -c /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini -d auto_prepend_file=auth.php3 -u psaadm

My installation of Plesk 9.5.4 is up2date.
Any idea on how to fix this problem?

Thanks.
 
Had permission issue on plesk 10.2 and getting the same 500 error on plesk login page.
