How to install Plesk updates

Workaround

If update is not possible for some reason you may try the following

workaround

Login to the server via SSH.
Create backup of psa database:

# plesk db dump > psa.sql
Check what val is used for all other domains:

# plesk db "select domains.name,dom_param.param,dom_param.val from domains, dom_param where domains.id=dom_param.dom_id and dom_param.param='ip_addr_id'"
Update dom_param.val with correct value:

# plesk db "update dom_param set val=1 where param='ip_addr_id' and val=9;"

where 1 - is a correct value, 9 - is old wrong value.
