Unable to change administrator's password

[clavoie]

Hi,

I have just installed Plesk 8.1 on Debian 3.1. Although I was able to complete the installation and log into the system, I could not change the administrator password at the initial configuratios screen.

Unable to change administrator's password: copy_file failed: copy_file: System Error: invalid file paths in /opt/psa/admin/bin/copy_file /opt/psa/tmp/nsfULYAs6 /etc/psa/.psa.shadow:

0: /usr/opt/psa/admin/htdocs/server/configure.php3:172

The "/opt/psa/tmp/nsfULYAs6" file was missing, so I checked the file permissions on both the "/opt/psa/tmp/" directory and "/etc/psa/.psa.shadow" file:

www:/home/collin# ls -la /opt/psa/tmp/
drwxrwxrwt   5 root root   4096 2007-01-08 23:12 .

www:/home/collin# ls -la /etc/psa/.psa.shadow
-rw-------  1 psaadm psaadm 6 2007-01-08 02:00 /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

Furthermore, I could read the default password in the shadow file.

If we consider the error message, "invalid file paths" could be refferring to ""/opt/psa/tmp/nsfULYAs6", which I did not find. Could a component be missing? Could it be a cryptographical mechanism required to generate the encrypted password?

I appreciate any help that can be provided.
