If I run "yum install php" or "yum install mysql" yum seems to find the files located in the atomic repo but it doesn't seem to be able to find "PSA" any longer. This command did work the other day so I'm not sure what has changed.

Did someone disable the script to install the Plesk Control Panel on Centos 5.4 for x86_64 using yum from the atomic repo?

When you run the atomic installer, make sure you say "yes" when it asks to set up the plesk repo. Looks like yours isnt enabled

[RichardM]

Err... I'm probably being dumb

When I run lynx -source http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh or wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh I'm not offered an option for that?

I did have a "plesk.repo" (with the wrong URL), but either of the above commands remove that.

[scott]

We're in transition on that, there is a new installer just for plesk repos:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installer/plesk |sh

[RichardM]

Thanks.

I've got Plesk 8.6. I selected "9" for the Atomic channel, as I'm going to attempt to upgrade (I believe using YUM+atomic is better than the Plesk CP!).

If I run yum install psa* - is that going to leave my Plesk settings (clients/domains) intact? Or give me a new clean installation?

(I'm really after an upgrade. But yum update psa* doesn't do anything)

[scott]

if Plesk is already installed, then yum upgrade would do the trick. It shouldnt touch your data, but its always a good idea to have a backup just in case

[RichardM]

OK...

The thing is, yum upgrade just brings up a list of psa-appvault packages for installation. I was expecting to see a list of files representing an upgrade from Plesk 8.6 to Plesk 9 (I did select 9 with the YUM installer). Am I missing something here?

[scott]

Youve got the right thing. Maybe check the plesk.repo to see if it really does point to a 9 url

[RichardM]

I have:
mirrorlist=http://www.atomicorp.com/mirrorlist/ple ... -$basearch

(By the way, what does this mean in plesk.repo? exclude=psa-mail-qc-driver*)

This is my YUM cron output (which says "Excluding Packages from Plesk Server Administrator"):

Yup youve got the right URL, so its not a repo problem. Sounds like your local config is messed up

[RichardM]

Mmm - I don't understand that.

So I went to my other server (plesk 8.6 RHEL5) and ran
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installer/plesk |sh and selected "9"

And if I try yum update psa\* or yum upgrade psa\* I get the same thing: It offers to add 18 appvault packages, and that's all.

I don't really want those packages. But could it be that I need to install those BEFORE it'll let me upgrade from Plesk 8.6 to 9? (Seems unlikely!).

[RichardM]

It seems OK today! I wonder if it is some sort of YUM caching issue?

Anyhoo, that problem's solved.
