• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

PSA Server Can't Start After Upgrade to 11.0.9

Ernie@

Basic Pleskian
Having upgraded to the latest version 11.0.9 from 11. The PSA server can't start and there's an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when accessing the panel.

/var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log shows

Tried bootstrapper.sh repair, it says,

Passwords for some MySQL users were not upgraded.
All MySQL DB users that may be used by Panel MUST have passwords in new 41-character format in order for Panel to function properly.
Currently following users have passwords in old format: billing@localhost, aspcomplete@%, aspcomplete@localhost, aspcsk@%, aspcsk@localhost, aspcss@%, aspcss@localhost, aspsession@%, aspsession@localhost.
Please ensure that MySQL server is not forced to use old password hashing algorithm and upgrade password format manually for users from the list above. Consult with MySQL server manual on detailed steps.
You may skip certain users if you are sure they weren't created and aren't used by Panel.
----------------------------

What should I do to fix the problem?

Regards,
 
bootstrapper repair, suggested to update the password format for the following accounts

Since there's a need to update the password for the following accounts,

billing@localhost, aspcomplete@%, aspcomplete@localhost, aspcsk@%, aspcsk@localhost, aspcss@%, aspcss@localhost, aspsession@%, aspsession@localhost.

How can I get the password for those accounts?

Thanks
 
I've been hit by this "Unable to obtain secret key for passwords encryption" stuff-up this morning when upgrading one server from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9. The installer crashed halfway through leaving us with an unusable, almost upgraded plesk 11 instance. I've regenerated the key running "dd if=/dev/urandom of=secret_key bs=16 count=1" but still no joy. Then I've managed to fix this properly running:
yum --nogpgcheck reinstall plesk-core-11.0.9-cos5.build110120608.16.x86_64.rpm (why don't you sign your packages, Parallels?)
After logging into the Panel Plesk complained about the license being invalid, which I fixed clicking on "Retrieve keys".
