Plesk 8.3 RHEL4 PHP/MySQL upgrade

[Kalimari]

Hi,

Have a strange error when upgrading PHP/MySQL to version 5 under Plesk 8.3/RHEL4. I have added yum/atomic package as outlined in instructions, but when I run any yum commands I always get the following error:

yum update php
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
http://www.atomicorp.com/channels/plesk ... repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

The URL seems to be wrong ~/redhat/Null/i386/~ and I cannot remove yum as it has a dependency with the atomic package and it's left me a little stumped as I am unable to retry/install or update anything.

Haven't seen any other users with this problem. Any advice or tips would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Yeah rhel4 is still the odd man out with yum. It cant handle the variables you normally pass in with yum. Replace $releasever with 4 on that platform.

Thanks Scott,

That did the trick. PHP has been upgraded to 5.2.5, for anyone else with this problem, edit the baseurl in /etc/yum.repos.d/plesk.repo, replace $releasever with 4.

Hi! Dose this apply also for servers:
psa v8.3.0_build83071218.18 os_CentOS 4.3
Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp

I looked in directory /etc/yum.repos.d/, but there were not plesk.repo

there were:
CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-Media.repo

do I need replace string '$releasever' with '4'?

there are many such strings - all of them?

Doesn't apply for centos, since it supports yum natively. To add the plesk repo run:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

Thanks!

Installation were ok.
But now I have some problems with Apache
I can not start up it:

ERROR: PleskFatalException

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by websrvmng: websrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to start

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:158
psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by websrvmng: websrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to start')
1: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:28

Please - help if You can - I think there are some problems with syntaxe after upgrade

[scott]

Run: /etc/init.d/httpd start

see what the error is

Thanks for suggestion

There some other problems
There is not working restart of httpd service.

on all kind of comands there is answer -

bash: httpd: command not found
bash: service: command not found
etc.

(I tried different possibilities - what I have found in web - still trying to find something)
