• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

The php dillema

As I am now looking at migrating our servers to new machines coming from Red hat 9 I have an issue with php.

As I want to run 64 bit linux my options are limited to RedHat or FC4 when it comes to plesk support.

FC4 has php5 which is no good as it will break tons of sites, so I want to remain at php4 for now.
Red Hat enterprise is too expensive.

Should I run php5 and php4 simultaneously?
Can it easily work together with Plesk?

Should I run FC4, rip out php5 and roll back to php4?

Bottom line, I'd be interested to know others feedback on the matter as I'm sure I'm not the only one faced with this issue.
 
From what our experience has been

plesk comes with php 4.4.2 pre-compiled into the apache module.

For us, this sucks, we ** NEED ** php5 and have not figured out a way to get it working without breaking everything else associated with plesk.
 
A really REALLY simple answer is to move to Centos 4 (which is basically RedHat Enterprise only without the nasty annual fee).

This is what I'll be doing the next time we need a new server or if I'm ever forced to reinstall the OS on the existing ones.
