Resolved NGINX and OpenSSL updates 17.8.11 (38)

[themew]

The changelog for January 29th shows



for Plesk update Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 Update 38 which was updated.

However, the server is still displaying the previous NGINX and OpenSSL versions. Plesk update manager shows there is no updates and SSH into the server shows no updates.

So how to we get these new posted versions of NGINX and OpenSSL?

Good point! I checked this and see that on all our Plesk 17.5 machines Nginx version 1.14.2 is active, but on the 17.8 machines at #38 patch level it is still version 1.14.1 (sw-nginx 1.14.1-centos7.18120419 (PLESK_17_8_11-dist)). A manual patch update did not change anything.

Our Plesk 17.8.11 setup is still on Nginx 1.14.1 but that's correct

In the Plesk changelog, the upgrade from Nginx from 1.14.1 > 1.14.2 is ONLY applicable to 17.5.3 via update #66
The 17.8.11 update #38 does NOT include the upgrade from Nginx from 1.14.1 > 1.14.2
It's possible to confuse the two if speed reading, but it's pretty clear if you look back at the changelog page again

The same item, being upgrade on slightly different timescales for the various Plesk versions has happened before, so we guess the next (or future) 17.8.11 update will include this.

@learning_curve I always enjoy, follow and learn from your posts, but based on the way the changelog is posted, eg. Jan 15, 2019, the version of Plesk is first posted, then Linux and Windows updates for that version followed by the older versions of Plesk and their respective Linux and Windows updates. Finally after all the version changes, 3rd Party Component Updates are listed, also in Linux then Windows order.

So, based on the standard format of the Plesk Changelog -- we're missing some 17.8.11 updates

Likewise @themew and thanks!

@learning_curve...So, based on the standard format of the Plesk Changelog -- we're missing some 17.8.11 updates

The only thing we'll add, is that the page's standard format is consistently inconsistent

Having said that, we think that regardless of any inconsistencies, On the changlog page, update #38 for 17.8.11 does not appear to include the nginx update nor the other two items shown in the focused screen grab pic above. We'd still say (guess) that the Plesk 28th January post, does indicate that the three Linux "Third Party Components" updates, only apply to 17.5.3 #66 and nothing else. That's how we've read it. We've ordered new reading glasses for ourselves though, just in case

Hopefully someone from Plesk will clarify this shortly on here, for all of our benefit

Guys, sorry, but I did not understand what the problem was. In my opinion, it is absolutely clear that the Third-Party Components updates are applicable only for Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update 66
