Problems installing 9.0.1

[dgersh]

I like many others have been having tons of trouble with plesk 9 eating up all my resources then crashing my server.

I tried to update through the GUI, apparently something got stuck and the server updater page kept telling me there was an error but wouldn't show anything else until the server was power cycled.

When I tried to run the GUI updater again, it looked like it worked but then failed.

So after reading the forums I found suggestions to use

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller

I'm getting the same problems as before. It looks like it has lots to install for 9.0.1 then gives me:

I have 6 GB free space so that's not the issue... what next?

Additional Details

From reading one of the failed to update from 9.0.0 to 9.0.0.2 threads I found these greps and ran them. I dunno what they mean exactly but maybe they will help someone. Also, I now get lots of
"Downloading the file PSA_9.0.1/dist-rpm-FedoraCore-7-i386/opt/modules/vpn/psa-vpn-2.0.1-fc7.build90090127.18.i586.rpm: skipped because of md5 checksum match." for each file before it tries to install and fails...

# rpm -qa | grep psa-hotfix
psa-hotfix3-9.0.0-9.0.0-fc7.build90081208.08
psa-hotfix4-9.0.0-9.0.0-fc7.build90081222.11
# rpm -qa |grep psa-9

Hi,

Generally to view more detailed info about dependency failure chain you should look into /tmp/autoinstaller3.log

As for

"Downloading the file PSA_9.0.1/dist-rpm-FedoraCore-7-i386/opt/modules/vpn/psa-vpn-2.0.1-fc7.build90090127.18.i586.rpm: skipped because of md5 checksum match." for each file before it tries to install and fails...

Thanks, but removing that dir didn't work. New downloads same problem.

This is where I quit this **** and revert back to 8.4.

Nice job failing on v 9 Parallels

I have the same sort of problem going from 8.6 to 9.0 then 9.01. The solution says delete some directories. I have root /psa directory with folders for 8.4, 8.4, 9.0, 9.01, sitebuilder, etc which are full of rpm's & tars plus the top level has the key .inf3 files. The suggestion is to remove these versions (or some of them?) and let autoinstall fetch them all again?

What I did to sort this problem out on my upgrade from 8.6 to 9.0.1.

1. cd /root/parallels/PSA_9.0.1/dist-rpm-CentOS-5-i386/base
2. rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *
3. /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller (Follow your nose here, I am sure I just accepted the defaults)
4. nano -w /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini
5. Added the following lines.
[eaccelerator]
eaccelerator.shm_size=4
6. ctrl x and then y
7. /etc/rc.d/init.d/psa restart

The above worked for me, best of luck.
