Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: apt-package tool removed plesk packages... :-(

[chris-taylor]

Hello,

is there a way to repair a broken plesk install using the autoinstaller?

What happened to me:
After installing and configuring Plesk I started the apt package tool
to install an additional phpmyadmin with the following command:

apt-get install phpmyadmin

This resulted in the following install dialogue:
(Mind the item "The following packages will be REMOVED:")

Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  dbconfig-common javascript-common libjs-codemirror libjs-jquery
  libjs-jquery-cookie libjs-jquery-event-drag libjs-jquery-metadata

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

And silly me just continued with <YES> (I sob, I sob...)

And now my plesk is gone...

Is there a way to fix this via autoinstaller?
Or do I have to repeat the complete installation?
(Luckily I have a detailed installation log...)

Kind regards

Christian

You had already installed Plesk phpmyadmin package - psa-phpmyadmin. Why you need additional phpmyadmin?
I think you can try to reinstall Plesk again with autoinstaller.

In my hosting environment I usually set up one special webhosting e.g. sql.domain.com
for providing access to the mysql server via phpmyadmin...
Using the URL https://sql.domain.com my "customers" can access the phpmyadmin interface of the mysql server
without the need of being registered as a plesk user; just by giving valid mysql login and password...

Can I make the psa-phpmyadmin package available like this as well?

Giving an alias like

Alias /SQL /usr/share/phpmyadmin

and an apache Directory-Konfiguration


Thank you

Igor

Hi chris-taylor,

you can define the URL of the Plesk - phpMyAdmin in the settings at "/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php" ( "/opt/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php" ) , but be aware that Plesk might change/edit/modify your settings, in case of Plesk updates/patches/upgrades.
