[SOLVED] Upgrade from 12.0 to 12.5: ran fine, but plesk won't start

[Alban Staehli]

Hi,

I just updated plesk 12.0.18 to 12.5.30 through plesk updater web interface.
Everything ran well, all services are running fine.... EXCEPT PLESK ADMIN PANEL!
I tried to execute the bootstrapper repair:
/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.5.30-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

It gives me the following:
Started bootstrapper repair procedure. This may take a while.
Certain actions may be skipped if not applicable.

If problems persist, please check installer logs ('/var/log/plesk/install/plesk_12.5.30_repair.log' and '/var/log/plesk/install/plesk_12.5.30_repair_problems.log') for errors.
If you can't resolve the issue on your own, please address Parallels support.

What shall I do? I've CentOS 7 64 running in a CT under OpenVZ.
THANKS.
