  3. Delete all databases and database tables used by Plesk:

• • 1. #mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`

    2. drop database psa;

    3. drop database horde;

• 4. Find out in which directory virtual hosts reside. To do this, open /etc/psa/psa.conf file and look up the value assigned to the 'HTTPD_VHOSTS_D' variable. Delete this directory by running the following command:

• • 1. rm -rf /directory_name/*

• 5. Erase all data related to mailboxes:

• • 1. #rm -rf /var/qmail/mailnames/*

• 6. Delete other directories used by Plesk:

• • 1. #rm -rf /usr/local/psa/

    2. #rm -rf /etc/psa

    3. #rm -rf /var/mailman

    4. #rm -rf /var/drweb

    5. #rm -rf /var/lib/webalizer

    6. #rm -rf /var/tomcat4 (if you had Tomcat 5 installed, run rm -rf /var/tomcat5)

• 7. Delete all references to DNS zones from the file /var/named/conf/named.conf, remove zone files from /var/named/run-root/var/, and modify the files in the directory /var/qmail/control appropriately.

Upgrade Mysql

=================

[root@server ~]# cp -pr /var/lib/mysql/ /home/mysql-backup/

[root@server ~]# mysqldump -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa > /home/mysql-backup/psa.sql

[root@server ~]# yum upgrade mysql

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/psa stopall

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/psa startall
