• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Best Upgrade path?

Ok, here's the situation that I've let myself get into.

I'm running Plesk 7.5 Reloaded, on a Redhat 7.3 box... I know, bad Helter.
I'd like to upgrade Plesk, and I'd like to upgrade my OS, but I'm in a bit of a bind as far as how to accomplish it. My first intent was to upgrade Plesk to a new version, then back it up, install a fresh os, and reinstall/reload plesk.
Then I found that you had discontinued support for RH7.3.
So my question is, what is the best upgrade path to get from RH7.3 with Plesk 7.5 reloaded, to say, CentOS5, with Plesk 8.4.
Should I backup Plesk, Install 7.5 on my CentOS install, then upgrade plesk? Is there a way to go directly from a 7.5 backup to an 8.4 install?
 
Can you get a second server? Id set up a C5 plesk box and then use the migration manager to copy the data from the old system in parallel.

I absolutely can. Will the migration manager copy across different versions? Or will I still need to go 7.5 to 7.5 then upgrade? Is the migration manager stable/reliable?
 
Just looked it up. Thanks for the tip! this is going to save me *tons* of time.
