Upgrade from 86 to 9.3 error

[Jason Oertell]

Every time I try to upgrade to 9.3 from 8.6, I get the following error:

Downloading the file PSA_9.3.0/thirdparty-rpm-CentOS-5-i386/../dist-rpm-CentOS-5-i386/contrib/sw-cp-server-1.0-5.200902131203.centos5.i386.rpm: ERROR: Failed to download the package http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_9....p-server-1.0-5.200902131203.centos5.i386.rpm:
Empty reply from server
Not all packages were installed.
Please try installing packages again later.
Please, resolve the above problem and try installing the packages again.
If you cannot resolve the problem on your own, contact product technical support for assistance.

It usually stalls on this one, or php5-configurator-1.5.0. Clicking on the link, I'm able to download the file, even using wget. I just can't for the life of me, get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, it fails on the sw-cp-server, or the psa-php5-configurator-1.5.1-cos5.build93091230.07.noarch.rpm. I've tried this on different servers, but nadda. Is there a way to tell Plesk Auto Installer to use a different mirror instead of the default?

You can try to use .autoinstallerrc - http://kb.odin.com/en/6153

Unfortunately, even using a mirror did not fix this issue. I had to wget the entire directory it's trying to grab from, to solve this problem. I have a new issue now actually installing Plesk. It's a brand new, blank server running Ubuntu 8.04 x64, it gives me the following error message while trying to download packages:

Err http://autoinstall.plesk.com hardy/all sw-cp-server 1.0-5.200902131202.ubuntu804
Connection failed
Err http://autoinstall.plesk.com hardy/all sw-engine 2.0-5.200910301646.ubuntu804
Connection failed

It'll eventually give this for every package, and tell me my installation isn't complete. I can't check network settings, I can't do anything with the physical box since it's hosted with (mt) Media Temple. I've even used a mirror instead of autoinstall.plesk.com, but it still stalls at this package. Why does the autoinstaller fail like that? This isn't a firewall issue, it's definitely something with the autoinstaller, since I can manually download the packages. I've even tried downloading the tar.gz but that does absolutely nothing. Can you please help me get Plesk installed??

 

[IgorG]

Do you have access from this server to http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_9.3.0/dist-deb-Ubuntu-8.04-x86_64/ ?
Is hostname autoinstall.plesk.com resolvable from this server?

 

[Jason Oertell]

I'm able to use lynx to access http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_9.3.0/dist-deb-Ubuntu-8.04-x86_64/. I'm also able to ping autoinstall.plesk.com:

ping autoinstall.plesk.com

I also used a mirror, instead of the normal autoinstall.plesk.com, but this failed at the exact same place. I'm restoring my server to defaults right now to see if by some chance this can help...

 

[Jason Oertell]

I also noticed this:

Virtuozzo was detected. Trying to connect to VZAgent...Warning! Failed to connect to VZAgent: ioctl: Transport endpoint is not connected

I'm not certain this is the cause...but I dunno.

 

[IgorG]

You can ignore Virtiuozzo warnings and try to use normal autoinstaller instead mirror.

I've downloaded http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...-ubuntu8.04.build93091016.15_amd64.deb.tar.gz to my sever, extracted using tar zxvf psa_9.3.0-ubuntu8.04.build93091016.15_amd64.deb.tar.gz

This extracted the files, I re-ran the autoinstaller but it still stalls on Err http://autoinstall.plesk.com hardy/all sw-cp-server 1.0-5.200902131202.ubuntu804
Connection failed

Why is this happening? This is beyond infuriating, as nothing that I'm doing is helping. I can't even get the tar.gz file to help at all. I just want to get Plesk installed. I don't see why I'm having so many issues.

 

[IgorG]

After unpacking archive you can install packages directly with dpkg but not with autoinstaller running. Also you can add source http://autoinstall.plesk.com/ubuntu/PSA9/ to /etc/apt/sources.list and install Plesk with

apt-get update
apt-get install psa

 

[Jason Oertell]

The autoinstaller adds this already, and doing apt-get install psa, times out on the same packages as the autoinstaller. Here's a pastebin of the errors:

I've even tried dpkg'ing all the debs, but it keeps erroring out on me. Is there a specific order to install the debs? Or is there step by step instructions on how to manually install on Ubuntu?

You are going to have consistent problems with a thirdparty-rpm-CentOS install on Debian even if it Linux because of the distribution packaging. Debian is .deb and Red Hat/CentOS is .rpm You should not mix your installations.

For best results run Red Hat or CentOS (free). CentOS is a direct distribution of Red Hat. You can do vzup2date if you are running virtuozzo and it updates everything.

I fixed the problem on CentOS. This is a brand new install of Plesk on an Ubuntu Server 8.04. But the same problem (timing out on downloading) is occurring on both.
