When trying to upgrade an 8.1.1 CentOS 3 system running the ART mysql 4.1.1 to Plesk 8.2, something causes the mysql admin password to change to an unknown value and the contents of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf to be wiped out. Only fix is to skip grant tables and reset the admin password and restore httpsd.conf from backup.

The database contains mysql 4.1-specific data so I can't back it down to do the upgrade. Any ideas?

You could mysqldump it, remove 4, install 3 (feh!) and then re-import it. Or you could use the migration manger/pleskdump, make a plesk backup, wipe the box, bump it to CentOS5 and then restore it.
