Upgrading Plesk 8.6 to 11 on a production server....are you crazy

I had considered setting up an EC2 Plesk instance, migrating users to that, then replacing the server and migrating users back. But I'm not completely clear on if migration from Plesk 8.6 to 11 (or what ever is the latest flavour) is indeed possible, that and how/if I could migrate the ns1 nameserve...

I did consider the option of setting up a Plesk instance on AWS, but as I understand it you can't setup/run nameservers on AWS Plesk instances.

How my setup currently works is I have 33 domains hosted on a single server running Plesk 8.6. I don't use virtuozzo (VPS) on this box as it is a 32bit server (processors don't support 64bit), so memory is limited being a 32bit OS, and as I currently have a single 100 Mbps LAN connection and 1 TB of...

Dam. That'll mean a new hosting contract, IP's, Namerserver changes and god know what else.

Grrrr.

It'll have to wait, especially at £1200 a year to co-locate per server. Thanks anyway.

Hi all, Quick question on the Linux front. I'm considering replacing my current server with a newer, more powerful machine. Current box is a dual Xeon, but the processors are 32bit, so limited on memory and performance. Question is this. Can I drive clone the old servers drives on to the new server?...

Thanks guys.

I think I've got it sorted, although when I changed the port number from 22, when I ran an ASL -s -f it moved the SSH back to 22. Is that something I have to change in the ASL config/web gui?

what are the file permisions for autorized_keys and the .ssh directory supose to be?

I read in another guide to make them chmod 600 and 700 respectively, but I'm not 100% confident that is correct.

Good idea.

And do not follow my instructions until some time has passed after I have posted to allow for others to see it and make sure that I've not made any errors in it that might cause you some problems - as usual I've done it from memory so I could be wrong.

lol ok mate, thanks

Ok, but do you create the keys and directory as the root user, or as the user account you use to connect to the box to asume root?

Hi, I want to beef up my SSH security a little and start using ssh keys. I'm the only user allowed to use SSH, as I don't let my clients have access. I currently lock my SSH port down to just my IP, but I intend to change the SSH port number to something random as an added security measure. I also h...

Doubt I'll find a rented server of the same spec as mine for £94 per month. Tried once, that's why I ended up buying my own. I justed quickly (well whilst learning what to do) launched a CentOS 6.3 64bit small instance with EBS to have a play, and it was mostly painless but a learning curve. Shut it...

Hummm, I'm going to have a play with it. The server is expensive, and in itself is a massive point of failure, especial seeing as it is 4 years old. Adding off-site back up to my current monthly hosting charges would greatly increase the cost compared to revenue generated, and replacing the server w...

Oh and I found this online, which is an interesting read:
