  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Question CentOS 6 to 7 Upgrade with Plesk Onyx

theywill

Basic Pleskian
CentOS 6.10
Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11 Update #79

I need to upgrade my CentOS version to 7 to have OS installed Apache above 2.2 to support the eliminate of TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

See:

I've found an upgrader for CentOS 6 here.

However, Codero, the server host, says Plesk will not support the OS being upgraded that way. Instead, they want to fresh install CentOS 7 and have me restore my Plesk sites. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm opening up a potentially huge work load by having to reconfigure everything and restore the Plesk sties.

Best regards,
James
 
Only Debian distupgrade is supported, not CentOS

 
Instead, they want to fresh install CentOS 7 and have me restore my Plesk sites. Does anyone have experience with this?

this could be as follows.
- set up a new centos 7 server with plesk an install pleskmigrator extension
- migrate all accounts from the centos 6 server with the "pleskmigrator" to centos 7 server
- either remove the ip from the source server and put it on the target server and change the ip there, or do a dns update to the new ip for all domains of the server.
 
Yeah. I've used the migrator, but it requires the IP of the source server. Since the source would be a drive on the new OS, I don't think the original Plesk would be running anymore. Maybe I could just make a complete backup and restore that. I've never done that server-wide before.

It's unfortunate you can't upgrade the OS with Plesk on it.
