You may see an “Unable to exec utility packagemng”<\/strong> error message while accessing the Plesk control panel. The error generally occurs after performing a Plesk control panel upgrade and the complete error message looks like follows:<\/p>\n

packagemng: file does not exist or is not executable:<\/span><\/pre>\n
\/usr\/local\/psa\/admin\/bin\/packagemng 0: auth.php3:551<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This is due to the “packagemng” file is symlinked to the “wrapper” file and the ‘wrapper’ file don’t have the executable permissions<\/strong> for it’s group user “psaadm”.<\/p>\n
The permissions of ‘packagemng’ file are (symlink):<\/p>\n
