Any chance of the latest versions (5.0.41 for mysql and 2.0.59 or even 2.2.4 for apache) ?

Yeah I'll do a mysql update soon. Apache is a different story, I doubt that I'll have the bandwidth to take that on. If someone really really wants it, email the sales department

If you're on CentOS you can get apache 2.0.59 from the CentOS Plus repository. I like to stay with the official updates, but if you really need functionality only available in newer versions you might want to try this.

As if maintaining a kernel, and php werent enough on my plate already

A long time ago I had worked on it, and it ended up being one of those cascading dependency trees to get everything integrated cleanly.

I'm not really sure what you mean by that - is apache a big update then (and your bandwidth limited) ?

I'd like apache 2.2.4 really, if you mean you want a donation of some sort then maybe an agreement could be reached, depending on figures.

FC4 is already EOL'd by the Fedora Project. FC5 will be as well at the end of this month. If you really need apache 2.2 you could migrate to FC6 (which will be EOL in a couple of months as well) or wait until Plesk supports RHEL/CentOS 5.

Changing the OS is not an option (even if I had the will to keep up with Fedora, who seem to move up a level every few months). I don't need it, I'd just like to be running it.

I ment the dependencies to create an update for it, its a fairly complex package, and would not just be a single rpm upgrade. On FC4 it would involve a lot of other tertiary package updates, and then all the packages that depend on those. Say for example mod_ssl needs to be updated to work with 2.2.x , that would involve updating openssl, which would involve updating everything that uses openssl (ssh, stunnel, perl modules, etc). So by the time you're done, your more or less running Fedora 7 anyway.

I do know folks running the plesk 8.2 beta on centos5 now. So it wont be that much longer til its generally available.
