• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Some solutions to 7.5.3 upgrade problems, and crossgrading RHEL to CentOS packages

Regular Pleskian
After struggling with trying to upgrade my 7.5.2 installation to 7.5.3, I finally succeeded but there were a few gotchas worth noting, expecially if you're having mysql errors all over the place.
I upgraded via the manual method.
Most important was to make sure that mysql and named is running at the time. Don't shut down these daemons prior to an upgrade. Using "/etc/init.d/psa stopall" will stop these daemons so you'll need to restart them before upgrading.
I'm running on CentOS 3.4 and prior to 7.5.3, I was running the RHEL version of Plesk. So when 7.5.3 came out with CentOS 3.3 support, I tried crossgrading to the CentOS 3.3 version of 7.5.3 without problems. The only thing you need to do is add a "--force" parameter to the upgrade command (eg rpm -U --force *.rpm) because rpm thinks the rhel packages are newer.
That's about it!
 
That's very interesting indeed - I usually psa stopall before upgrading, so I'm very glad you mentioned it. And your comments about crossgrading are also intersting. Thanks.

Faris.
