  • 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.

Question Re-installing websites for the 'Apps' functionality?

Jeroen Vermeulen

New Pleskian
Hi all,

I recently moved all my websites from Windows IIS to a Linux CentOS server.
Plesk is working great!

I installed some new websites with the built-in Apps function, it installs Joomla or Wordpress, and it allows me to automatic update it.
I also want this on the websites I moved manually, what would be the best solution for this?
It's about 40 Joomla websites, 20 Wordpress websites and 2 Magento websites.

Would the following work?
- Backup everything
- Delete everything
- Install the app
- Overwrite the folders and the database that the app made?

There are a few threads about this, but with little or no information.

Thank you very much.
 
Regarding WordPress you can attach previous WordPress installations on your migrated sites to the Plesk WordPress Toolkit. Just go to Websites & Domains > WordPress and click Scan. Have you tried?
 
Unfortunately we have no Joomla or Magento ToolKit at the moment. Therefore only manual migration is possible here. You need to backup all content, then remove it completely and install back with Plesk Applications with the same database names, etc. After that you have to restore backups manually carefully.

Update: Joomla! Toolkit is finally available
