Plesk 12.5.30 Backup Restore Webserver down - PHP problems ?!

[boosterfan]

Hey guys,

we have a server with plesk 12.5.30 and debian 7.1 and we did a plesk full backup.

We want to install a new image with plesk 12.5.30 and debian 8.4.

Can we restore the full backup? Plesk version is the same, but debian is a newer one. Is that a problem??

Thanks!

I'd suggest you to use dist-upgrade feature - http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/ad...ver-administration/distupgrade-support.74627/

Hi,

so it is not possible to do a restore to the same plesk version ?

 

[IgorG]

Why? It is possible.

Ok,

but you said you would prefer to do a dist-upgrade before.

But what happens in the following scenario.. You have a debian 7.1 server with plesk 12.5.30 and a full backup. The server crashes. You install a new server with an image file of your provider with plesk 12.5.30 again but newer debian 8.4. So you do not have the chance to do a dist-upgrade before. You just have the full backup and the new system (with same plesk version)...

... no ideas for that ?

ok.. self is the man... we will just try.

So we just did the full restore in plesk 12.5.30.

But now, all websites say "server down", plesk is running...

What can we do ???? (Here this was an error message after restore: "The PHP handler 5.4 FastCGI application (id=fastcgi) is not available. Instead, Plesk will use 5.4.45 FastCGI application (id=plesk-php54-fastcgi) for the following websites")

First off, probably do a reconfigure to see if that fixes the PHP handler...
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

Path may be different for Debian...
