Hi,

My hard drive on a machine failed. My host reinstalled Plesk on a new drive, and put the old hard drive in the machine as well. I have mounted the old drive and can access it to copy all files over.

My question is, where are all file/directories that I need to copy over to make Plesk on my new hard drive come up with all the data and configuarations of the old hard drive?

Currently, I have recurisvely copied over /etc/psa and /etc/psa-horde

Now when trying to access Plesk I get:

ERROR: Unable to connect to database: saved admin password is incorrect. 0: /usr/local/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3:81 psaerror(string "Unable to connect to database: saved admin password is incorrect.")

Will this be fixed when all configuration files have been copied over? If not, how do I fix this?

Thanks,
Eric...
 
more info...

Have now found /var/lib/mysql/psa and /usr/local/psa and copied over.

Still mysql error whne trying to access PSA. Are there more config files to copy over?

Was able to fix password problem with help from:

http://kb.swsoft.com/article_16_346_en.html

:)

But haven't got all the data (user accounts) over yet after copying over:

/etc/psa
/etc/psa-horde
/var/lib/mysql/psa
/usr/local/psa

What else needs to be copied?

Also, when restarting PSA with /etc/init.d/psa restart I get the following:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl restart: httpd restarted
packagemng: Unable to create 'dirty' flag in the PRODUCT_ROOT_D/var: Permission denied
System error 13: Permission denied
packagemng: Unable to create 'dirty' flag in the PRODUCT_ROOT_D/var: Permission denied
System error 13: Permission denied

Is this related or a major issue?

Eric... :)
