Upgrade Plesk 7.1.6 to 8.0.1, FreeBSD fails

[hnzufx]

I want to upgrade a FreeBSD 5.4 machine from Plesk 7.1.6 to Plesk 8.0.1 by running the new release:

# ./psa_v8.0.1_build80060615.20_os_FreeBSD_5.4_i386.sh
Trying to define super-server internet daemon type... inetd
Trying to check if inetd daemon is running... done

===> Checking for previous installation ... found.


You have version 7.1.6 installed.

It is possible to upgrade it to Plesk 8.0.1.

In case you haven't made proper backup Plesk is not
responsible for any consequences.

Plesk is ready for upgrade. Please note that Plesk utilizes
your version file to verify that you are performing a correct software
upgrade. If your version file has been changed manually and does not
reflect accurate information, then the upgrade may crash causing you
to lose your data.

*****************************************************************************
* *
* NOTE: After upgrade you'll have installed default key file for *
* Plesk with limited functionality; you can create only one *
* client and one domain with it. If you have more domains *
* and clients then Control panel will not work and you *
* will need to get a key with additional features from *
* the Plesk team: [email protected] *
* *
*****************************************************************************

Do you really want to proceed? [N]Y
Making some checks before upgrading

Aborting...

The attempt to upgrade
from version 7.1.6 to Plesk 8.0.1 has failed.


Anyone knows why he failes? The logfile isn't showing anything different than the error above ('No such file or directory'). It looks like he cannot copy the autoinstaller from /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa-pre-8.0.1/autoinstaller (this file does not exist).

I'd download the latest autoinstaller for Plesk 8 and run that to upgrade. Had to do that to upgrade some 7.5 Reloaded boxes to Plesk 8 anyway.

 

[hnzufx]

Well, the autoinstaller does the same. It downloads the file and executes it

 

[breun]

Did you try it? I tried upgrading those 7.5 Reloaded boxes with their own Updater/autoinstaller and it didn't work, downloading Plesk 8's autoinstaller did work.

 

[hnzufx]

Yes, I did try it. I also tried to copy the autoinstaller file to the temp directory:

cp psa_installer_v3.0.2_build060707.15_os_FreeBSD_5.4_i386 /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa-pre-8.0.1/autoinstaller

However then another error occurs during upgrade:

chmod: /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa-pre-8.0.1/php/: No such file or directory

It looks like he is not extracting the needed files to /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa-pre-8.0.1/php/. But I don't know why
