I recently upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and now to 12.04 and have since broken my plesk install.

I have tried to repair plesk with

/opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --upgrade-installed-components

This however returns ERROR: The product with ID plesk is not installed on the server

So I tried to work this out with: cat /opt/psa/version

10.4.4 Ubuntu 8.04 1013111102.18

Then i tried /opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --show-all-releases

In short, my plesk is broken, it won't start.

root@sub:~# /etc/init.d/psa start
Starting psa...                                                       failed

/etc/init.d/psa: line 269: /opt/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng: No such file or directory
Starting psa...                                                       failed

Hence me trying to repair the install of plesk.

Can you check availability of psa package in your system? Or better - availability of all psa* packages?

This ERROR: The product with ID plesk is not installed on the server (1) and this Starting psa... failed (2) messages make me think that during OS upgrade some of your Plesk packages were dropped. Probably because they might require some of your older OS's packages by dependencies. Remember, Plesk distribution is OS specific, so OS upgrade cannot be recommended way.

Bad news is that now you will have to scan logs from all dropped packages and try to bring them back (which might be not that easy). Good news is that your data are probably ok, so if you make new Plesk server and use Plesk Migration and Transfer Manager (be sure you choose to install it), you probably can transfer all data to newer server without loss.

UPD:

I noticed you were trying to update Plesk. Actually you could try re-installing it, the management database and content should be preserved. You could do that by

/opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-product-id=plesk --select-release-current --upgrade-installed-components

if that fails too, you can backup psa database and sites and then do full re-install

/opt/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --all-versions

After that database and content will need to be restored manually.
