Plesk 8.1 psa rebuild

snookersky

New Pleskian
After successfully upgrade to 8.1, I wanted to restore my databases previously generated with mysqldump. So the old psa database was (erroneous) recreated and the 8.1 one droped. Therefore some fields are missing and errors occures using Plesk administration.

How can I rebuild the 8.1 psa structure (hopefully not from scratch)?

----

ok, I found out howto:
1. install plesk 8.1 from scratch on other machine
2. mysqldump scratch_db
3. EDIT old dumped sql-file, adapting all table structures to new version (they are not too many)
4. source edited sql-file into upgraded DB-server

I have the same problem, do you have the scratch_db dump file you did?

Thanks.
