• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

problem with MySQL and PHP on SLES9 after upgrade to 4.1

Ok. Here's the problem. First with the instruction of swsoft technical support I upgraded mysql on sles9 64bit from mysql-4.0.18 to MySQL-4.1.18.

1. uninstalled mysql 4.0 with rprm -e
2. got rpm exactly for my sles9 from mysql.com (MySQL-.....rpm), notice the difference in names between mysql and MySQL
3. installed new rpms
4. updated mysql using mysql_fix_privileges_tables

MySQL started as it should. plesk panel is working great. but only after a couple of weeks I noticed that there's something wrong:

1. I cannot do any update from Plesk Panel because plesk is trying to install old mysql- rpms (it just doesn't see MySQL- rpms). thus every update crashes with conflicts problem before it starts. Technical support is now recommending me to make all upgrades manually (and this is pain in the ***).

2. All websites that used mysql don't work. They just cannot connect to mysql. In phpinfo there's no mysql anymore. Technical support recommended me to recompile php. But since it's already 2 months as I bought Plesk they cannot offer me support on this so I have to pay money to get the instructions.

3. I tried to downgrade to mysql 4.0 by uninstalling Mysql 4.1 and installing original rpms. mysql just failed to start. I read on some forums that 4.1 changes tables structure so it's a big trouble to downgrade mysql.

4. when I try to unisntall php4 or php4-mysql rpms and install them again I get message: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so12() (64bit) is needed by php4-mysql-...

So what I have now after upgrading mysql: I cannot make updates in plesk anymore, mysql is not working on any website, I cannot change it back, technical support is not able to help me (at least without me paying them).

Can somebody please advise what I should do because I am thinking about a new reinstall of linux and plesk. Sorry, I am not a specialist in linux. I saw several problems like mine of this forum but none of the threads end up with solution. I hope this one will finally find a solution and help other people.
