Plesk 10.3.1 Broken after Update

We have a second server for experimenting on more than anything -

Just upgraded the plesk panel to 10.3.1, however I now have limited access in the control panel. Here is the error message:
New files of configuration for Apache web server were not built due to errors in configuration templates. The detailed error message was e-mailed to you, so please check the e-mail, fix the errors, and click here to retry generating configuration.
As I have recently started working on the server, it seems we were having backups directly overwriting over the database of the plesk panel and all the vhosts... which I presume has caused the problems.

Is there any way of reinstalling plesk remotely? Or maybe even setting it back to a default configuration - as the database is completely wrong, i've tried the following command to reconfigure httpd:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all
With no luck...

Can anyone help us repair plesk? i.e. a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Plesk backs up its own db every day to /var/lib/psa/dumps , assuming that the directory is still there you could use that to restore the db, but the other problem is much harder (and beyond my knowledge of Plesk 10.3 to be honest).

You could try running : service httpd configtest and seeing if that spits out anything useful about which configuration files are broken. I was going to write loads about the new apache config templating in Plesk 10 but then I thought it may not be them at all thats the problem...

Paul.

Thanks Pauli! Config files were fine, I've contact parallels to see if they can shine any light on the problem. I didn't know that about plesk backups -thanks!
