  • 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.

Hello all. I own a VDS server at Godaddy and it is running Parallels Plesk Panel v10.0.1_build109101029.17 os_CentOS 5, PHP 5.1.6. I need to upgrade to at least PHP 5.2 but to be 100% I am scared to death. I just got the command line zip working thanks to this htread: http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=316326&postcount=3

However I am an needing help moving to PHP 5.2. I really do not want to go any higher than 5.2 as I am hosting web sites that are running Wordpress and I am not sure if Wordpress will work with anything higher than 5.2. Since I have over 15 clients on my server I can't afford to take that chance.

Now I will be the first to admit I should not have my own server if I do not know how to do this type of thing, but I was sold this server under the understanding that I would have a support team helping me. That later part turned out not to be true so I am stuck with this.

can anyone help me here? I really need this dumbed down as well. I do not want to take anything for granted.

I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks! ~ Erik
 
I used the Atomic Rocket Turtle RPM Repository and yum'd it with dependencies.. Ran into a problem of the latest distro being 5.3.x. After searching I found php-5.2.17-1.el5.art and was able to downgrade. I would suggest installing php rpm manually and then exclude it when you run yum, but I'm sure others know better. At least you have more to google.. :p Sorry I could not be more helpful, I did this a while ago and it was the middle of the night...

I needed,

php-xml-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-cli-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-pdo-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-common-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-gd-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-mbstring-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-mysql-5.2.17-1.el5.art
php-imap-5.2.17-1.el5.art

Regards
