Ways to resolve Plesk update error on CentOS 7 GCP ?

To fix this error we must disable repository GPG key checking in the yum repo configuration.

We can do this by setting the following in the yum repo configuration:

repo_gpgcheck=0

In supported Compute Engine base images, this setting might be found in the following file:

$ /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud.repo

However, in the VM we can have this set in different repository configuration files or automation tools.

The yum repositories do not usually use GPG keys for repository validation. Instead, it uses https endpoint as a trusted one.

To locate and update this setting, we can use the following steps:

1. Firstly, we must check for the setting in the /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud.repo file.

2. To check, we can use the following command:

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud.repo

[google-compute-engine]
name=Google Compute Engine
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/google-compute-engine-el7-x86_64-stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg
   https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
[google-cloud-sdk]
name=Google Cloud SDK
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/cloud-sdk-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg
   https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg

3. Now, we must replace all lines that have:

repo_gpgcheck=1 to repo_gpgcheck=0

4. This can be easily done using the following command:

$ sudo sed -i 's/repo_gpgcheck=1/repo_gpgcheck=0/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud.repo

5. Finally, we can check once whether the changes made are updated.

For this we can use the following command:

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud.repo
