I got this error while trying to update a system with the spam date bug.

==
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269
==

fix was fairly simply, just update the GPG key.

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SaUpdateKeyNotCrossCertified
==
Running this should fix it:

    wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY
   sa-update --import GPG.KEY
==

Once this is done, you should be able to update for the date bug

==
/usr/bin/sa-update
service spamassassin restart

Done.!

plesk rebuild apache httpd.conf / Some of Horde's configuration files are missing or unreadable

So here I had an issue when plesk did it's update, where the configuration files were all jacked up, and was getting horde errors??, which was odd

This was all caused it seems by plesks update!

Here is the fix!

rebuild the httpd.include conf fileS!

http://www.cherpec.com/2009/01/plesk-rebuild-apache-configuration-files/


Sometimes you need to rebuild all your httpd.include files, it can be done with websrvmng command:

==

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -av

==

Error: Failed to configure the up2date utility. Command python exit with non-zero status (1).

If you are receiving this error within the Plesk updater when you try to upgrade plesk 8.2 to 8.2.1 you will need to take a look at the file

==
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
==

and make sure that the line with

==
pkgSkipList
==

has a semicolon in the end.

Here is a sample and the link which had this info.

BEFORE
==
pkgSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards, to skip
pkgSkipList=
==

AFTER
==
pkgSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards, to skip
pkgSkipList=;

UPDATE:

k so it looks like you can do what a kb has mentioned.

http://kb.parallels.com/en/5801

====
You may switch MTA using autoinstaller script.

Run the script without parameters

~# /usr/local/psa/bin/autoinstaller

and select Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 (currently installed) on the fourth page. Disable all other applications like SSO and Sitebuilder.
====

Let me know if works for you all! :)

Ran into this lil problem here a while ago and found a solution from another site, but it was for cent os not RHEL 5 so here is the fix to the error above, and also a link to the site I found part of the solution.

http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?p=218738#post218738

That's the error above and the solution is as follows

1. run, gives error but downloads the file as per the link above.

yum -y update httpd

2. Go install/upgrade manually.

cd /var/cache/yum/rhel-i386-server-5/packages
rpm -Uvh httpd-* mod_ssl-2.2.3-11.el5_2.4.i386.rpm --nodeps
service httpd configtest
service httpd restart

3. Take the links advise and have a beer. :) Enjoy!

Recover Lost Plesk Password Linux

Don't think I forgot you linux folks, though If you are in linux you may already know this also. :)

If you lost your Plesk Password and you are using a Linux Server you can do the following if you still have access to the server via SSH and can either su or login as root


1 . Open a connection to the server.

2 . su into root or log in as root.

3. cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow


This will give you the current Plesk Password in plain text.

Once again is this a security risk?? NO!! if they have root, then that's a bigger issue!! :)
