  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Ideas on how to update Apache and PHP on CentOS 4

Regular Pleskian
I'm running a CentOS 4 server that I recently "upgraded" to Plesk 9. In order to pass some audit requirements, I need to update my Apache and PHP versions. (Apache is currently at 2.0.52 and PHP at 4.3.9.) "yum update" reports that I'm already on the current versions. It would be best if the server could be updated to Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2 . Am I hosed here?
 
CentOS (like RHEL) uses backporting: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html A lot of times the problem is that the audit process only looks at version numbers to see if software has security vulnerabilities, but this is not applicable when a distribution uses backporting (like most enterprise distributions do). If you're running the latest versions from the CentOS repositories, you should be okay and I definitely don't recommend installing custom packages just to pass this audit. It sounds like the problem here is the audit itself.
 
Centos4 ships with and distributes apache 2.0.x and php 4.x while Centos5 distributes apache 2.2.x and php 5.x
While your installation may still be secure, if you are interested in upgrading you can attempt to grab source packages and rebuild for your system. You can also use the atomic repository from ART to install php 5.2 on centos4 by using the instructions here
