Plesk Onyx 17.8 Preview

[MitchellvB995]

Might be due to using Courier, try changing it to Dovecot and switch back after the upgrade..... mine went smoothly.

Fun fact: I don't use Courier...

 

[MitchellvB995]

Incidentally... I LOVE Digital Ocean Snapshots for when I want to try and break up things....

Same.

It seems Courier has a bad habit of putting himself in between... see: Plesk Onyx 17.8.10 (testing) wrong updated offered (thread blocked, don't know why...)

Have you at some point? Sounds like leftover garbage to me....

No, haven't. And it also happened to me with a fresh installation.

 

[Sergio Manzi]

No, haven't.

In my case I remember I just once "switched" to Courier and then immediately back to Postfix/Dovecot to force a re-installation of the latter... can be?

 

[MarkM]

No, haven't. And it also happened to me with a fresh installation.

Have you checked to see what exactly is installed?

# rpm -qa | grep courier

... well that's gold. nevermind my thought.

Luckily my ISP is backing-up my VPS every 4 hours so I could restore . Got an email from root that told me that the upgrade has been completed successfully. Didn't want to be at preview 11 but it's fine now I guess. Only new installation will fail. At least in my case.

Well, the issue is solved. That’s why it’s closed. This man got an installed courier packages, I haven’t.

I wonder if you have a corrupted RPM database

Remove;

# cd /var/lib
# rm __db*

Rebuild;

# rpm --rebuilddb
# rpmdb_verify Packages

Not all these commands work on Debian? I believe CentOS uses rpm packages. And as I said, the installation also fails on a clean server and a clean server shouldn’t have corrupted rpms.

Correct me if I understood something wrong.

 

[MarkM]

Oh ok, I assumed you were on CentOS for some reason.

 

[MitchellvB995]

Not yet. I indeed said that I will go to CentOS when Plesk 17.8 is released.

... well, the "man" it's me, and yes the issue is solved, but that's the only thread for a solved issue that is also locked!
No big deal, anyway, and we are highly OT!

 

[Sergio Manzi]

@MitchellvB995 if you are still under Debian I think the "rpm -qa | grep courier" you previously did doesn't makes much sense: try "dpkg --list | grep courier" instead...

 

[MarkM]

^ yup. nice catch. missed that.

EMERGENCY: The file /root/.my.cnf contains a password for the MySQL console client. Please remove this file temporarily and restore it after the upgrade, otherwise the upgrade will fail.

When upgrading I got this error... Why would this have a password?

Also, WARNING: There are 126 accounts with passwords encrypted using a deprecated algorithm.

I really have to update each account in the UI lol Is there no faster way?

 

[MarkM]

Just try renaming it;

# mv /root/.my.cnf /root/.my.cnf.disabled
