Ways to upgrade Plesk 8.6.0 to 9.5.4

[JimDunn]

Atomic Team,

I've been trying to upgrade my Plesk 8.6.0 test-bed to 9.5.4 using the /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller utility.

It just makes a mess (kills mysql, destroys httpsd, deletes includes and conf files)

Anyway, is there a way to upgrade using yum and the atomic repos instead???

Thx!! : )

Yeah, what you do is add the plesk repos to your yum config, and then run a normal "yum upgrade". After that is finished, go back in with the autoinstaller and run that to get the non-packaged updates (these are called the Micro Updates).

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the atomic.sh, then edited the DISABLE_PLESK=yes on line 363 to be:

DISABLE_PLESK=no

Then installed atomic.sh, and got both the atomic and plesk repos.

Then did a yum update and yum upgrade...

RESULT:

- I ended up with both psa-8.6.0 and psa-9.5.4 both installed at the same time
- had to fix the my.cnf, and restore several include and conf files that were deleted
- I now have webpages working, but the 8443 control panel says "log in to 8.6.0"

: (

P.S. I'm doing this on my VMware test-bed... so I will try it again, this time doing the autoinstaller at the end, I forgot that step.

Dont do that Use the plesk installer instead:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/plesk |sh
