Plesk won't start after MU#2 Micro-Update

[EduardoG]

Hi all.
I've updated my plesk 10 (centos5) after last security notification from plesk:

It is referenced as MU#2 - Plesk admin password changing.

The Micro-Update delivers bug fix for a vulnerability that could allow authorized Plesk users to change Plesk 'admin' password and then compromise Control Panel.

The update was right, no errors, but plesk won't start again, nothing listening on 8443 port.
Tried a /etc/init.d/psa restart, but get:

[root@bin]# /etc/init.d/psa start
Starting psa... failed
Starting xinetd service... done
Starting named service... done
Starting mysqld service... done
Starting postgresql service... not installed
Starting psa-spamassassin service... done
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started
Starting mail handlers tmpfs storage
Starting psa... failed

I'm in a big trouble. Please, help.

Ok, let's make it step by step and see what was wrong:

[root@bin]# /etc/init.d/sw-cp-server restart
Restarting SWsoft control panels server... not running. 2010-12-09 21:39:58: (log.c.62) opening errorlog '/var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log' failed: No such file or directory
2010-12-09 21:39:58: (server.c.582) opening errorlog failed, dying
[FAILED]

Sure, that's a clear error. Why isn't it able to write there?

[root@bin]# ls /var/log/sw-cp-server
ls: /var/log/sw-cp-server: No such file or directory

That's a nice reason. Let's make it again, later we will check what happened

[root@bin]# mkdir /var/log/sw-cp-server

And starting again:

[root@bin]# /etc/init.d/sw-cp-server restart
Restarting SWsoft control panels server... not running. [ OK ]

Solved!
