• 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 does a newbie install the GD2 package?

Hi, I have a virtual dedicated server through a hosting company that is not any help to me. I have a client that needs the GD2 package install on his website so that he can use a CMS package that he used on his last server. I told him I would work on getting it upgraded so that all is well. I really wanted to install PHP 5.2.0 on the server while I was at it so that I could play with the new version, but I read that Plesk isn't compatible PHP 4.4+ (no big deal). When I was reading how to install GD2 using yum or up2date, I got completely confused. Bot yum and up2date were not recognized on my server. Am I that out of date?

My server specs are:
RedHat 9
Plesk 7.5.2
PHP 4.2.2
and I currently have "GD 1.6.2 or higher"

I have access to root through SSH. Can anyone help me? I JUST paid my next year in advance so I can't leave just yet (though I will NOT be re-newing with them).

Thanks guys,

Brandon
