Plesk 8.6 to 9 Upgrade help

[kernelhostit]

Hi,

We're running a live plesk server on debian 4.0 (etch) that's fully up to date with version 8.6.0. We were originally holding off upgrading to 9 until they had fixed a number of bugs. Now that they've released 9.2.1 we think that it would be safe to upgrade now.

Is it advised to upgrade 1 version at a time? i.e. 8.6.0 -> 9.0.0 -> 9.0.1 -> 9.2.1? Or should we just jump straight to 9.2.1? Are there any caveats that we should be aware of?

Kind Regards

I am wondering this as well. I want to move everything over, and I heard people were having problems with mailman mailing lists. Has this problem been fixed? nothing I can find in the release notes.

I would strongly advise to upgrade to 9.2.1 at once and skip the 9.0.x versions, as it is buggy and may break things.

Personally I am waiting a little longer with upgrades.
There are no security holes and 8.6 is rock-stable, so why upgrade?

it is absolutely not necessary to upgrade from 8.6 > 9.0 > 9.2.1
feel free to jump from 8.6 > 9.2.1 using autoinstaller. both versions are stable

I tried an upgrade a few weeks ago to 9.2 directly and ran into 1 issue. Since we had updated the php version to the latest avialable there were dependency errors. So if you have any modificatins its probably a good idea to revert them before you try an upgrade.

Hi, main reason we need to upgrade is for the reseller functionality which is something that version 8 is really lacking in
