why ... cant plesk update itsself?
as discussed earlier am quite a newbie and a bit scared about willy nilly changing things through SSH
have run up2date but still cant update plesk
yum you say
i suppose i will have to learn that then
 
Plesk can update the components of the controlpanel, but not the OS. You, as admin, are fully responsible to keep your OS updated, this is not the task of Plesk.

In other words, get into ssh, and setup the ART-repositories, or hire a sysadmin who can do it for you.
 
oh thank you denis
your input was more than helpful
...

:mad:

some people would like to know new things
why dont i hire a systems admin... why dont i just get webspace from aol, why dont i just sleep all day and hire a bloke to do everything ...dur!
 
I didn't mean to flame or something.

I'm just trying to tell you that Plesk doesn't do updates to your OS. That's why you should implement the repositories, one way or another. If you don't you coukld be left with some ugly security holes, depending on the current state of your server.

If you take a look at http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/ you can see the input you need to enter the bottom of the page. Just follow the instructions on the site and you' ll be fine. You could always download VMWare Workstation to try these things. With VMWare you can setup a virtual OS on your existing OS. I use it all the time for testing. They have a 30-day trial, so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

Good Luck!
 
ok
have installed yum
run up2date
found more obsoletes
tried to update any of them
get error
unknown GPG signature...aborting
on the atomicrocket website it says:
Dont forget to install my GPG key on your system: RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

tried this command direct from root
get error import read failed
should it be rpm --import http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
????
 
You don't need to run up2date if you are using yum. Replace the contents of your /etc/yum.conf file with this:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

Then it's as simple as running the command:

#yum update
 
Create a new yum.conf file and put the contents (posted by phoenixisp) into it.

Then run 'yum update' or 'yum install name-of-package', where 'name-of-package' would be the name of the RPM package to install.

I believe you also have additional replies in your other post on the forum as well.

You are supposed to first download the RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt file, then issue the rpm --import command from within the directory you saved the file.

cd /root
wget http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
 
fine then
i created yum.conf
if i try #yum update i get error:
-bash: yum: command not found

recap:
so far the only things i have done is to add a line in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
and created yum.conf as described to me
thats it
do i have to wget .....
tar -zxvf ....
rpm -Uvh .....or something?????

oh my lord my brain hurts
 
In an earlier post, you stated that you had installed yum.

If it is installed, then the executable should be in /usr/bin

If /usr/bin/yum file does not exist, then you must not have installed it correctly.

Yum does not rely on the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file, it uses the yum.conf file.

Yum is a replacement for the RedHat up2date program, and IMO is better.

Try using the command:

/usr/bin/yum update

If this still gives you an error, then you have not installed yum properly.
 
so trying to update everything i encounter this:

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

To solve all dependencies for the RPMs you have selected, The following
packages you have marked to exclude would have to be added to the set:

Package Name Reason For Skipping
======================================================================
psa-7.5.3-rhel3.build75050506. Config modified

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
SSHTerm-0.2.2-rhel3.build75050506.13 requires psa >= 7.5.3


the whole point was to upgrade plesk from 7.5.1 to 7.5.3
config modified???
my brain really hurts
