Can not login to the CP after upgrade to 8.4

Hello Folks,

I ran into a trouble when I upgraded my PLESK 8.3 to 8.4.

As you can see following message upon login to the control panel comes up:

ERROR: PleskException
Unable initialize session:

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/cmd_loginup.php:215
createSessionCommon(integer '1', string 'admin', boolean true, string '74.x.x.x', NULL null)
1: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/cmd_loginup.php:348
createSessionAdmin(string 'admin', string '*********', string '***************************', boolean false)
2: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/cmd_loginup.php:145
createSession(string 'admin', string '*********')
3: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/login_up.php3:27

The important point is the general function of PLESK is still fine; all domains and services are up and running, but nobody can login to the control panel even the Administrator.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks!
 
Found what had happened . There is a folder /usr/local/psa/var/cgitory which is full of rpm's for applications to be installed. I am assuming from application valut. I cleaned everything out but plesk put them right back in there again. Anyone know what is causing this?
 
I have resolved the issue but not a perm fix. If i cd to that directory and rm -rf * . That fixes my login problem. If i login to the control panel and click on application vault then it populates that directory all over and i am back unable to login to plesk again. So for now i have disabled the application vault from users till a perm fix is found.

/var/usr/local/psa/var/cgitory is a cache with unpacked app. zip archives.
So it's rebuilded by Plesk core periodically.
You can safely remove app *.zip files from /usr/local/psa/var/apspkgdistr/
But it is better to mount /var/usr/local/psa/var/cgitory to another partition with more disk space or just create a symlink /var/usr/local/psa/var/cgitory --> some place on another partition.
