Plesk does not start: mysql service not installed even if it is running

[Vito DonatoC]

Hi! This morning we decided to upgrade from parallel 11.0.09 to 11.5.30. We used the autoinstaller on our plesk panel, but there was this error:

***** problem report *****
ERROR while trying to detect MySQL service name
Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/plesk_11.5.30_installation.log), fix and try again


After some package installation (psa-atmail and plesk-roundcube) the installed plesk has broken.

#/etc/init.d/psa start
Starting xinetd service... done
Starting mysql service... not installed
Starting bind9 service... done
Starting postgresql service... not installed
Starting psa-spamassassin service... not installed
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started
Starting psa... failed
Starting drwebd service... failed

Why plesk doesn't find MySQL?
We have two version of mysql: 5.1 and 5.5. Each one has a multi-server configuration.
Maybe plesk looks for "mysqld" but our multi-server daemon are named differently: mysql51 and mysql55.

Is there a way to change the plesk mysql service name?

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to change the plesk mysql service name?

Yes, you can do that from

vim /etc/psa/psa.conf

# MySQL
MYSQL_VAR_D /var/lib/mysql
MYSQL_BIN_D /usr/bin
MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
