Hello. I am interested in figuring out how to update Plesk in a manner that is as manual as possible, and if you search this forum for "updater screwed up AGAIN! :-(" or something similar, you'll see why.
I've recently upgraded a server from 8.3, to 8.4, then to 8.6, and not one of the upgrades was without problems. An example of this is:
The problem here is that the file /var/named/run-root/var/run/named/named.pid doesn't exist. This is because I have stopped the nameserver, because DNS for all domains is handled by a different server. What does the installer do? Properly written software would handle this problem gracefully, note the "error" and continue. Instead, this "auto updater" just dies, with the server 1/2 way between 8.3 and 8.4. I managed to fix it by forcefully installing the /tmp/PSA_8.4.0/dist-rpm-CentOS-4.3-x86_64/base/psa-8.4.0-cos4.build84080425.19.x86_64.rpm . It wouldn't do it without "--force" because it thought the RPM was already installed.
I grow tired of this.
For future upgrades, I'd like to download the RPM's from the website and install them manually. I don't want to use the "Update" icon in the control panel, nor do I want to use /usr/local/psa/bin/autoinstaller, as both always have been, and probably always will be broken.
Question: Does anybody know what order to install the RPM's, and if any other commands have to be run to perform an upgrade?
Thanks.
