  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Upgrade PHP 5.1.6 to 5.3.2 in Plesk Linux 9.5

Helen Pang

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

We just upgraded the server from Plesk Panel Linux 8.6 to 9.5, but I noticed the PHP version in 9.5 still showing

5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

Can we upgrade the version to 5.3.2? Any risk for doing so as the PHP is integrated with Plesk? Please also advice the steps.

Thanks.

Regards,

Hello IgorG.
We have here at our company a new Dedicated Server R200 with the Latest Stable Built of plesk running (9.5.2). And the machine is at hosteurope (in Köln, Germany). I am their client now for 4 years and i am very happy with their service. The new server went online last saturday and i discouvered that it has running: PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny9
and i really would like to upgrade to 5.3.x. But i read in many places that the new Plesk enviroment doesn´t supports it well. I really would like to have your feedback on this, before asking the tecnichians to compile the newest php version on that server.
Can you indicate to me how to procede?
Awaiting your news,

Regards,
Paco
 
Will it work 100% safe / correctly?

Dear Daniel..

Many thanks for your reply.! ! ! :)

Many thanks for the link. Will investigate this carefully.
Do you have any experience / idea if the latest plesk stable built (9.5.2) will work 100% properly with all the parts?
Hosting, Horde/atmail, apache, mysql, zend, etc?

Hoping to hear from you.

hi

do you have succeeded to upgrade to 5.3.2 on plesk9.5, if yes could you please send me procedure, specialy option of configure
regards
 
I'm using plesk 9.5.2 and I could upgrade to php 5.3.3 and mysql 01.05.1951 clear that you have to also update the zend optimizer, ioncube loader and eaccelerator.
use CentOS, well after investigation and with the help of some threads from here and others have successfully put into operation on php and mysql to the latest version and fully integrated with Plesk at least works for me.
I still have a detail I have to fix but does not directly affect or at least do not see it affecting them.

the process I followed is as follows:

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

yum update

Here we need to see the zend. ioncube loader, eaccelerator, etc. ..

yum list php (to see what the rpm I do better on the list and going with my system that I make the following process)

yum install php. XXX

now the process with those who are in testing


Step 1: yum - enablerepo = atomic-testing list php (get the list and install the appropriate rpm)

Step 2: yum - enablerepo = atomic-testing install php.XXX (install the rpm list and so we need Step 1 and 2 is repeated with additions as the ioncube-loader, eaccelerator, but has given me the zend one problem is that I have not been installed with the 5.3 so I'm investigating it.

when we finish this process with both the php and mysql to see that in some cases it may be that if you proceed to install any CMS from plesk or from FTP or web script will install a problem that I delete a table in the database mysql. The mysql.server. if you do not because nothing has happened has happened but if you proceed to do the following:

create a file for example table.txt in which we include the following:


CREATE TABLE `servers` (
Server_name `` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Host` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Db` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Username` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Password` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Port` int (4) DEFAULT NULL,
`Socket` char (64) DEFAULT NULL,
Wrapper `` char (64) NOT NULL,
`Owner` char (64) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Server_name`)
) ENGINE = MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8 COMMENT = 'MySQL Foreign Servers table';


we go to plesk and mysql administrator enter and search the database called mysql entered it and import the file you have created so you create the table has been cleared and now we have everything working again.


I hope I have helped, it has worked for me as is my

Hi,

We've just upgraded the PHP version from 5.1.6 to 5.2.17-1.el5.art but we've received complaints from customer that their website having problem to connect to external MySQL DB (cause we don't use the local MySQL server)

The error seems like : the php library version is different with the existing mysql version

Any advice what can we do on this?

How do we reverse back to old PHP version if still cannot fix?

Thanks.
