Remove the Licence agreement after I've accepted it

[PlymWS]

I've upgraded to Plesk 8.1.0 and now every time I log in I have to accept the EULA. Not much of a problem but given that I have already read it and ticked the accept box, is there a way I can "disable" it from showing up every time I log in.

I suspect that it has something to do with the Virtuozzo-type advertising which was really annoying. Message to Plesk - enforced advertising will not get me to buy anything else. In fact, I won't be using Virtuozzo purely because it was so heavily advertised !

You shouldn't see it after ticking the box, but apparently something went wrong.

What does the following say?

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -e"SELECT * FROM psa.misc WHERE param='not_showLicense';"

If this returns that 'not_showLicense' is false (i.e. show license is enabled) you could try to change this directly in the database:

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -e"UPDATE psa.misc SET val='true' WHERE param='not_showLicense';"

This probably has nothing to do with the Virtuozzo promotion. There are separate settings for the Horde news feeds and Virtuozzo and Fotolia promotion (but they are also stored in the psa.misc database table).

I get access denied because I don't know my admin password. This was preset to something I haven't been given when Plesk was pre-installed on my server by my provider.

What admin password are your talking about? The root password to be able to login via SSH? The MySQL admin user's password? Or Plesk's admin password?

 

[PlymWS]

the mysql admin user password

 

[breun]

I'm pretty sure the password in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow is also the MySQL admin password. Plesk needs the admin password to function properly.

When I copy and paste the mysql command lines above into my SSH window I get no response. i.e. no command output. I have done both of the commands and still see the agreement window.

Is there any way I can log into phpMyAdmin as the admin user ?

 

[PlymWS]

I have connected to the table db psa manually, and checked out the misc table. There is no "not_showLicense" variable there at all.

 

[breun]

Strange... You could try to add it yourself?

 

[PlymWS]

I'm not sure on what the command world be tbh. My SQL knowledge isn't very good

 

[breun]

INSERT INTO psa.misc VALUES ('not_showLicense', 'true');

 

[PlymWS]

OK done it.

I logged onto a SSH window and connected as admin

mysql -uadmin -p

Then I typed

\u psa

Then

INSERT INTO misc VALUES ('not_showLicense', 'true');

Worked fine

Thanks for the fix guys. Just to let you know, I had this issue on 2 of my servers when I upgraded from 8 to 8.1

I thought is was a "feature" I'm afraid, and was cursing a tad. Glad to know it's just a glitch.
