Resolved Do I have to upgrade Plesk?

[CobraArbok]

I have another VPS with Centos and Plesk 17.5.3.
Instead, my new VPS is with Ubuntu 17.10 and Plesk 17.0.17.
Why does this Plesk not update?

It may depend on the update & upgrade settings in "Tools & Settings". Normally, there won't be automatic updates from one release to another.

This command will install the latest microupdates of your release:
# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

An upgrade to a new release (this is not the microupdates for your current release, but the upgrade vom 17.0 to 17.5) can either be done through GUI (recommended option, click on the "upgrade" option on the start page)

or from the console where you can run
a) Pre-upgrade checker
# wget http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_17.5.3/examiners/panel_preupgrade_checker.php
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php panel_preupgrade_checker.php
b) Upgrade installation
# wget https://installer.plesk.com/plesk-installer
# chmod +x plesk-installer
#./plesk-installer --debug

Expect issues when doing the release upgrade.

Thank you, but I did not understand if I should do it from console or Plesk.
In "tools & settings" I have "General release (Recommended)"

What issues do I have to expect?

Issues can vary depending on your operating system, your individual configurations, extensions that have been installed. It is impossible to predict and there are different opinions on upgrades. Some have reported here that it went smoothly without issues, my business here has not seen an upgrade yet that did. I only mentioned it, because you should be aware that you might need some time after the upgrade for fixing a few things - all depending on the then current situation.

I personally prefer the console approach because I at least "feel" to have more control over the process. But the GUI approach is easier and might work for you as well.

I tried console, but I have an error

Are you sure that Plesk is available on that machine? Or do you need to install it first? Because the error clearly says that Plesk is not installed on the system (for that reason it cannot be upgraded).

 

[CobraArbok]

Yes, I'm working with 4 subscription.

What is the option to upgrade from Plesk Tools & Settings?

 

[Bitpalast]

Step 1: Tools & Settings, then

Step 2: From the upgrade screen:

Shame on me, I am sooooo sorry!!! I was totally blind and did not pay attention to your OS version!

Ubuntu 17 is not supported by Plesk, and you wrote you had Ubuntu 17.10. in your first post.
For a list of all supported operating systems, please see this page: Software Requirements for Plesk

OK, thanks anyway
