Plesk 10.0.1 and ASL

[Intelehost]

So has anyone upgraded from Plesk 9.5.3 to 10.0.1 while using ASL? anything catastrophic happen? everything go smoothly? Is it worth the risk yet?

Id say hold off for another month or so for them to work some of the kinks out.

As an side, ASL works fine with Plesk 10.0.1.

We just don't recommend you upgrade to Plesk 10 right now. Let them work out some of the kinks in Plesk itself.

I thinking that it will be better to wait until Plesk release 10.0.3 comes out. Manny bugs has to be solved before Plesk is realy a good product as the next generation reveals. As i scanning to the internet, i do see a lot of problems from the first release of Plesk 10 edition.

I'm using it, only big problem I'm having is updating any packages using the plesk updater.

[scott]

That thing has never worked right. I'll take the blame for it though, the autoinstaller was my (bad. bad. bad.) idea back when we founded Plesk.

Thanks for coppin' to that Scott!

While we're at it, does yum update effectively do the same thing? Or what is the preferred method to update software on a Plesk box?

[scott]

yum is definitely the better updater, since its dynamic and structured around discovery as much as it is for just downloading things.

The autoinstaller is *not* dynamic, it uses static files that more or less do basic string compares against the name of the package (as opposed to yum, which looks at the contents). This is why it constantly breaks if there are newer versions of files on the system since the last time it was updated.

That being said, parallels last I checked had omitted some important packages from their yum repo that would cause psa updates to fail through yum. I havent checked that in a while so it might be resolved by now.
