Plesk admin PHP broken!
I HAVE tried searching the forums for help on this problem. But I so far no luck.
The situation :
I just upgraded from PSA 6.0.2 to PSA 7.0.4 on a RH 9 server.
All services like webmail, qmail, ftp, named all work. EXCEPT the PSA admin panel, httpsd.
Initially all I got was a blank page whenever I connect to https://myserver:8443
Now I have enabled display errors in the psa version of php.ini, I get the following :
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/index.php on line 1
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/index.php on line 1
I have already rebooted the server and tried a force install of all the base psa RPMs. Still no good.
I HAVE noticed that /etc/init.d/psa stopall doesn't stop my httpd server ... it needs to be shutdown with /etc/init.d/httpd stop
Also when I do /etc/init.d/psa startall it doesn't start httpsd straightaway. I actually have to run /etc/init.d/psa start again before I see httpsd running
I am guessing it is some issue with PHP or maybe the decoding engine is broken. But I don't know where to start. If anyone has seen this error before or has some idea, I will be very grateful
