Plesk repository

[tomkerswill]

Hi

Is the Plesk respository still maintained? At the moment, it is just showing a README file with a link to the AtomicRocketTurtle installer (which is different from the Plesk repository).

Also, the search on this forum gives me the following error when I search for the words <plesk repository>:

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: plesk repository.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

yup, it just lives on different servers. If you run the atomic installer (its safe to run multiple times) it will set the 8.6 or 9.2 repo up for you:

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

Thanks Scott! I'm on Plesk 9.2 and Fedora 6 (wanting to upgrade to Fedora 7, which is why I need the Plesk repo). Plesk yum repo file is now blank after running the installer. Installer gives message about only supporting Centos, on Plesk 9, so I guess I'm out of luck! I don't suppose there are any plans to support any Fedora builds are there? Maybe I should look at changing over to Centos...
Thanks for the help,

Did you know Fedora 7 reached end of life over a year ago? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life

I'd upgrade to an OS that is being maintained with security updates.

According to the Plesk 9 system requirements Fedora Core 4 to Fedora 8 are supported. But none of those Fedora versions is being supported by the Fedora Project anymore.

Maybe I should look at changing over to Centos...

You definitely should.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, it's an older server with a few domains on, so I was trying to get it all the way to Fedora 11 --- but the only way to safely do this seems to be release-by-release. And I can't upgrade from Fedora 6 to Fedora 7 without first removing the Plesk rpms... so it's a bit of a vicious circle! That's where the ART Plesk repository would come in handy --- but I guess I should have done this a couple of years ago before my version became too out of date!

I think I'll try and get hold of another 1and1 server and stick Centos on that using the AtomcRocketTurtle scripts...

Thanks for all the help. I'll let you know how I get on.

Plesk 9 currently does not support Fedora 11.

but the only way to safely do this seems to be release-by-release.

I wouldn't even call that approach safe. I never do OS upgrades on a live production system. I always bounce the data to a new server if an OS upgrade is needed (we run CentOS, so it's rarely needed as a CentOS release gets 7 years of security updates and the hardware usually doesn't last that long). That way you can always fall back on the old system if something went wrong with the migration.

That sounds like the way to go, yeah.

Yeah....even if you do the updates release by release, and even if it works for the OS, Plesk is going to go nuts at some point

Anyway, I know it isn't a fun situation to be in, and having to do all that migration stuff will be a pain in the bottom. I hope it all goes well and that it will be easier than expected.

I know for a fact that Plesk 9.2 and Mysql 5.1 (which is the default for F11) will conflict on an upgrade.
