Specified column "name" is not in the row

New Pleskian
When calling the new Wordpress Management Option from the 'Websites&Domains' page in Plesk (Version: 12.0.18 Update #4, OS: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS), the page that is supposed to show the list of Wordpress installations (/smb/wordpress/list) shows an error "Specified column "name" is not in the row".

Exact output:
Internal error: Specified column "name" is not in the row
Message Specified column "name" is not in the row
File Abstract.php
Line 179
Type Zend_Db_Table_Row_Exception

I already tried bootstrapper repair without success. Other functions in Plesk seem to work, there are at least two Wordpress installation on the server (one through Plesk, one manual installation). How can I get rid of this error without risking my Plesk settings?
 
Looks like database inconsistency. Missed "name" field in one of tables. Check "WordpressInstanceProperties" at least.
Is it upgraded Plesk or fresh installation?
 
Thanks your help, IgorG. This is an upgraded Plesk installation.

I've tried Plesk Database Inconsistency Checker (Beta) and Plesk Database Schema Checker, but both do not seem to work with Plesk 12. Couldn't find "WordpressInstanceProperties" manually ... might be missing or I'm just unable to find it?

I'm still able to revert to Plesk 11.5 by restoring a full backup. Maybe thats the best solution?
 
It seems upgrade procedure was not completed successfully. Try to run it again with

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base
 
Tried that, but I'm getting the following warning and the error in the backend about the missing column remains:

Warning: following component(s) not found in product plesk: 'base'
 
Make sure that you have line

Cumulative upgrade and repair of Plesk database (revertable stage) has been completed.

after running

# /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair
 
Make sure that you have line

"Cumulative upgrade and repair of Plesk database (revertable stage) has been completed."

after running

# /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair
The line was there, but still get he error when going to the WordPress page.

is "WordpressInstanceProperties" a database table? Where can I find it?
 
On my test Plesk 12 server I see:

mysql> desc WordpressInstanceProperties;

I can confirm that even with these things complete that the wordpress toolkit does not work? Any more suggestions?
 
Guys, could you please shed a light on following questions:

1. When WP was installed? On 11.5 or on 12 version?
2. When upgrade to 12 version was performed? Immediately after WP installation or not?
3. What do you have in wordpressInstances and wordpressInstanceProperties tables?
4. Have you started Scan from admin's interface or only from customer's login?
5. Do you have this error message after first click on WP Toolkit or it worked fine for some time before?
 
For myself this is the first time I have clicked this since upgrade to 12.0.18.

Upgrade from 11.5 -> 12.0.18
Login, click button for Wordpress Toolkit

Get the above mentioned error.

I am unable to run a scan as it never gets that far as to show me the scan button.
 
What about content of wordpressInstances and wordpressInstanceProperties tables?
 
As possible workaround you can try to clear cache for WP instance with following method:

Get list with ID of instances with

# /usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --get-list

Then clear cache with

# /usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --clear-cache <wp-instance-id>

I hope it will help.
 
Hi Igor

Running the first command I get the following

# /usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --get-list
Specified column "url" is not in the row

What would be the safe way of creating these tables?

Regards,
 
Sorry, correct name of table is WordpressInstances but not wordpressInstances. Please check it.
Find all ids there and use them for

# /usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --clear-cache <wp-instance-id>
 
I ran:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base
# /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

I also tried:
/usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --get-list
I received this error:
Specified column "url" is not in the row

I looked up the instance IDs manually and cleared them all one by one with the command:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/wp_instance --clear-cache <wp-instance-id>


Any other suggestions?
 
Once again - What about requested previously content of WordpressInstances and WordpressInstanceProperties tables?
