Webroy

I cannot login to plesk 10.3 on centos 5.5

Make sure that /etc/psa/.psa.shadow file has a valid permissions. Right permissions should be as follows

-rw- 1 psaadm psaadm 5 Feb 26 11:22 /etc/psa/.psa.shadow
 
The files are oke

When i do this i get :

/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password
Unable to connect to database: 1045


I tried to reset the admin password through mysql by doing this:

mysqld stop
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

mysql --user=root mysql

update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE User='admin';

But no result....
 
Okay i think i have solved this problem:

I did this:

Plesk stop
Mysql stop

/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

mysql --user=root mysql

update user set Password=PASSWORD('new-password-here') WHERE User='admin';


flush privileges;

mysql start


cd /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/

export PSA_PASSWORD='newpass'

echo $PSA_PASSWORD

./ch_admin_passwd

export PSA_PASSWORD=

/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password

And i can login again
