  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Crossgrading experiences between CentOS 3.4 and Debian 3.1

PSi_101

Regular Pleskian
Just some words about my experience moving my data between CentOS 3.4 and Debian 3.1.
For the most part it worked well. I backed up my data on the CentOS server with psadump, then moved the data to the Debian server for a psarestore. I created the ipmap and shellmap files and the restore went smoothly. Only 3 things went wrong:
1) Spamassassin went screwy, it applied itself to mail accounts which I told it not to. Had to run mchk to fix it up.
2) SSL certificates got did not come across smoothly. Needed to reupload all certificates.
3) psadump missed 2 directories for some reason.

Other than that it went extremely well.
 
Thanks for the post PSi_101. It's always nice to hear peoples first hand experiences like this.

With Debians nice long release cycles SW-Soft has no excuse but to make the Debian version the most stable, bug-free release. :) *crosses fingers*
