I hate to say it, but this is all the more reason to standardise on Centos 5.x or Redhat Enterprise as your base Plesk O.S.
I would love, love, love to see support for Debian5, as many of our users have upgraded, broken their install, then had to roll back or suffer with broken services.
yes, yes, YES! I cant roll back now since I have waited too long and I am stuck with a server on Debian 5 and am back to doing everything manually. Problem is I gave some of my customers access via Plesk to do a little email management stuff aso. on their own and they cant do that now... that is very annoying and is gonna hurt me in the long run.
I guess I will have to move the sites to a new server gradually and I guess I will be trying RedHat there if that seems to be supported more thouroughly with Plesk. I HATE being so dependent and I am looking for some other solution then Parallels because I think this is just bad (really bad) support. I have been using Debian for over 8 years now and being forced away kind makes me sad and really dissapointed.
I am very disapointed also to don't be able to install plesk on debian 5, especially since the host of my server don't propose to install debian 4 anymore.
when can we expect a package of plesk 8.6 and 9.X on debian 5.
Some hosting company (including mine) doesn't offer to install debian 4 anymore. and as plesk don't support debian i paid for a license i am not able to use.
Please update your package so your paying customers could use your product.
I help a friend and maintain his server. He only is offered Fedora and is in the same situation as you. Plesk supports up to Fedora 8 and 11 is due out in May. Sad parallels - sad
There is a way to make plesk 9.2 work on Debian Lenny
I managed to do that, since i've upgraded Debian and there were no way back. However next time i'll stay on 4.0 - there's a perfect backports repository
As fas as i remember, you'll have to patch plesk files - in Debian 5.0 some command line parameters changed for adduser utility. Also, you can use shell-wrapped instead or real adduser binary. But please note, that method ONLY suitable to upgrading Debian to 5.0 with installed Plesk. There are plenty of old packages, required and installled by plesk - qmail and others. I'm sure you will hardly be able to install Plesk on clean Debian 5.0
