Upgrade from 9.5.4 to 11.*

[JuliusT]

When running the pre-upgrade script, I get the following error:

[root@x]#
[2013-11-01 07:19:57][INFO] ==> Installed Plesk version/build: 9.5.4 CentOS 5 95110726.13
[2013-11-01 07:19:57][INFO] ==> Detect system configuration

[2013-11-01 07:19:57][FATAL_ERROR] [MYSQL ERROR] Given <password> is incorrect. Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

and when I try:

[root@x]# mysql -P3306 -uadmin -p<my plesk admin pwd> psa
[1] 25243
-bash: adminscripts: command not found
[root@plesk ~]# ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

So yeah. :-/ Does a "*" parse correctly in passwords for these commands? Anyone with a clue as to where to look?

TIA!

OK, guys, it would help if someone told us in the KB how the passwd should be given.
Your KB http://kb.parallels.com/9436 says:

php -d safe_mode=Off plesk115_preupgrade_checker.php <plesk-db-admin-password>

without even mentioning anthing about the use of < and > (should it be there or not)

trying with or without < > is useless, most Putty clients will be translating as UTF8 anyway, THIS is how it does work:

php -d safe_mode=Off plesk115_preupgrade_checker.php 'plesk-db-admin-password'

My understanding of this would be to remove the < > and just enter the PW
or maybe even
php -d safe_mode=Off plesk115_preupgrade_checker.php `cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow `


so you dont have to type it in
