Plesk for Linux DoNotDelete:docref kb: bug ABT: Group B

Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Linux

Symptoms

  • Plesk pre-upgrade checker produces the following warning message:

    PLESK_WARN: EMERGENCY: Unable to change the owner of files in the /var/lib/psa/dumps/ directory. The upgrade procedure will fail.

  • Upgrade log file /tmp/plesk_11.0.9_installation.log contains:

    CONFIG_TEXT: === Preparing upgrade
    chown: changing ownership of `/storage/mysql.preupgrade.11.0.9-11.0.9.20130616-153540.dump.gz': Operation not permitted

Cause

An incorrect value of DUMP_D variable is set in /etc/psa/psa.conf file.

Resolution

  1. Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Change DUMP_D variable in /etc/psa/psa.conf file to the default value:

    # cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep DUMP

    DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
    DUMP_TMP_D /tmp

 

Warning should be reworked in https://jira.plesk.ru/browse/PPP-51737

    Do you have this error in logs:

    chown: changing ownership of `/storage/mysql.preupgrade.11.0.9-11.0.9.20130616-153540.dump.gz': Operation not permitted

    ?

     

    If yes, then you just need to restart upgrade using Plesk installer script, refer to the article How to Install Plesk for Linux
