  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Basic Pleskian
I use CentOS 6.4 and Plesk 11.5.
While I was trying to upgrade Plesk I made some errors and now Plesk doesn't work.
I tried this:
Code:
# /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp11.5.30-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

But I got these error:

Code:

I couldn't repair Plesk.
How can I repair this, if not how can I revert Plesk to default factory settings ?

Hi,

try the following command:

# zcat /var/lib/psa/dumps/mysql.daily.dump.0.gz | mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

Then run repair again.
Hope it helps.

No guarantee though!

Regards,
Kristian
