Anyone know if Postgresql is needed for Plesk 8.1? Does Plesk actually use it for anything?

I've update a CentOS 4.4 box to Plesk 8.1, Php 5 and mySQL 5 and in the process, Postgresql stopped and won't start again.

I'm wondering if it matters? We don't use it for anything and neither do our clients.

If anyone knows, I've been combing message forums and the KB at swsoft and can't find a clear answer. So I thought I would ask here. Thanks.

Plesk doesn't use it itself, you can even uninstall postgresql if you want. To be able to let your clients use postgresql databases in Plesk you even need to upgrade your license.

Have you checked the logs? Although you just might want to remove all postgresql components if you don't want to bother with it anymore.
