upgrade is terrible

[pdreissen]

Hi there,

Why is it every time such a pain in the *** to upgrade to a new version.
Again everything went wrong. Tried everything from auto installer to rpm upgrade..

What a mess...

websrvmng: Service httpd failed to gracefully restart: Operation not permitted

Syntax error on line 213 of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpsdctl start: httpd could not be started
Starting Plesk: [FAILED]

Upgrade from 7.1.4 -> 7.5.1

And again a non-working system for hours!

I use art's yum to upgrade my box. Note I always the upgrade on a backup box first. So far no problems just kill the named pid before you start

Can you explain what is ment by "just kill the named pid before you start"?

I also use Art's yum. Usually I just do "yum upgrade" on the command prompt and it does everything from there! Is there something else I need to do before or after to ensure everything works after?

Thanks!

us ps aux | grep named to find the PID of named then kill it with kill -9 PID.

The last two times I upgrade YUM had problems starting/stopping named.
