Issue How do I update NGINX version??

[Walter]

I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04.3 and nginx 1.11.10. Looking at my installation script, I added the nginx repo before installing Plesk. The latest nginx repo version for Ubuntu mainline nginx is 1.13.5-2. I see after an apt update that "http://autoinstall.plesk.com/ubuntu/NGINX17 xenial InRelease" is listed in addition to my nginx repo. I'm assuming that the Plesk entry is superseding the nginx.org entry? Looking back, I should have installed nginx from repo instead of just adding the repo.

How do I safely upgrade to the nginx distro version from here without adversely impacting my service?

Hi Walter,

Plesk comes with its very own compiled "nginx" - version, called "sw-nginx". Using a different nginx - version on your server might cause issues/errors/problems.
