From plesk 9.5.4 to plesk 10.3.1 the odyssey !
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:03 pm
Hello everyone.
First of all I would like to know if anyone has managed to do such a migration, might seem funny but I really wonder.
Please if anyone has made it please let me know so I can ask you some questions.
I would say it has taken me a week to experiment the new plesk prion to migration, but I think once again parallels is using its client as lab rats for experiments ...
After a week of trouble plesk seems to be up and running normally.
So, I went out for a migration test using the migration manager ...... and as I was getting happy that I made it I found out a whole new mess ...
For some "plesk super cool" reasons in 2 domains that I checked :
1. The ftp passwords werent functioning. I had to reset the passwords from plesk in order to function.
2. (The worst....) all databases didn't have users attached to their permissions even though users existed.
And the best thing is that I just removed all clients - domains etc and users in database were still there and I had to remove them by hand.
3. Also it created not 2 new folders fs and fs-passwd
No idea why. And also in the fs-passwd there is a file with some users from the domains i just removed ! lol. Still there !
I am wondering should i remove these 2 folders or it will crash plesk ?
4. Then I got a weird email that it couldnt restart apache to apply configuration.
5. There are more errors... ! loool
It was also a surprise while I was reading the fact that many many many people have paid 75$ in order parallels fixes their problem. Are they causing the problems to get money out of paid support, license fees arent enough now days for them ????? And for problems they have created... !
They havent even solved version 9.5.x problems and they created a new major version. Only that fact can make someone understand their issues !
Anyway. Plesk is getting worse every year.
(Honestly I am seriously thinking of migrating everything to a cpanel to stop worrying about parallels experiments conducted to real servers and clients, but anyway...)
I do not care if they claim to have added functionality over their cp. Its simply not working. And I ve read around 500 forum topics with issues I had so we are all facing the same issues. Its not me being crazy with parallels.
It seems to me plesk was good up until the asl guys had it.
