Resolved Few Question before upgrading.

[omexlu]

Hello,

I have some questions about upgrading from "Version Plesk Onyx v17.8.11_build1708180301.19 | OS Debian 8.11" to the current Plesk Obsidian because there will be an upgrade displayed in my GUI:

- Is it currently stable enough to upgrade?
- Is the current license for the current Plesk Onyx also valid for Plesk Obsidian (provider hetzner)?
- Are all settings as they are currently in Plesk-Onyx automatically adopted in Plesk Obsidian?
- I have installed older Php versions (5.x.x) for some websites that only support this, do they still exist / work and all other php versions that be used on Onyx?
- Will all websites remain online during the upgrade including the database?

Thank you in advance.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Very outdated and insecure PHP5.x will work for your sites in the same way. Plesk Obsidian won't upgrade it to PHP7.x

- Will all websites remain online during the upgrade including the database?

Very short downtime is possible during the possible webserver restart process.

Hi there! You have asked the exact question in my mind! As far as I'm concerned you have upgraded your plesk today if forum time is right. Any issues so far? It is my customer's server and I need to be extra careful. Thanks already.

I didn't have any problems at all, during the pre-check I complained that I have custom changes to the templates (apache), thought I could remove them afterwards if necessary, but there were no problems at all after the update, so I left the custom templates in

@IgorG Have they changed much at all, maybe they should be updated after all (templates)?

I have compared and seen that nevertheless a few things in the original template was adapted, thus I deleted my custom-templates and move the original in custom and edit again to my needs.
