When going to the Plesk login page the following error shows:

ERROR: PleskMainDBException
<b>Source:</b> Microsoft JET Database Engine<br/><b>Description:</b> Unrecognized database format 'C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\db\psa.mdb'.

0: plib\common_func.php3:666
reconnect()
1: plib\common_func.php3:614
db_connect()
2: auto_prepend\auth.php3:80

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
jacko
 
Did you perform any actions on Plesk database before such error occurred?
Probably Database got corrupted. Try to run Plesk reconfigurator > Repair installation;
you can also try to change Plesk database provider from Jet to MySQL:

Thanks for your reply. No manual changes were made to the plesk mdb file.

In the end we were able to fix this by downloading it and loading it in ms access and fixing the tables and re-uploading it. Plesk then started fine again.

Your suggestion sounds good though, will try that next time.

Thanks,
jacko
