• 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.

How do I remove Postgres 7 and add Postgres 8?

Hi,
I have 3 dedicated servers running on Plesk 8.1 and RedHat ES4.

The problem is that I need Postgres 8.x with PHP 5.

Unfortunately, I'm not all too familiar with Plesk or RPM based distros being a Debian user myself.

Could someone please advise me as to how I could disable the existing Postgres 7.x and PHP4 in Plesk and install Postgres 8 and PHP 5 via an RPM.

Or at least tell me how I can disable Postgres 7.x and PHP4, I can probably figure the rest out.

Thank You.
 
I just realized, I already have PHP5.

Also, I do realize that what I'm asking for might not be recommended or supported further but I have no choice but to use Postgres 8.x and PHP 5.x so please let me know how to proceed even if it's an unofficial method.

In the meantime, some googling revealed this:
Code:
rpm -qa | grep "postgres" | xargs rpm -e

that's to remove postgres. Is this alright? Or is there a better method, via Plesk?
