Ubuntu Upgrade

[DaveKay]

Hi, just looking for a bit of clarification from some Plesk pros!

I currently have a VPS with Plesk 11.0.9 #11 fully working as required.

Recently when logging into the server via SSH, I am informed that a new release of linux, "precise", is available and that I should upgrade. All seems fairly obvious when running "do-release-upgrade". Current version of installed Linux is Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS - a fair way out-of-date!

What I'm really looking for is some advise as to whether this upgrade is likely to corrupt the Plesk installation at all or am I likely to be able to reboot the server after upgrade and all works ok?

Is there anything I should be doing to help the upgrade run without causing issues to Plesk - I obviously have full server backups stored nightly on the server and locally, but would rather not have to rebuild a production server!

Any nerve-settling advice is much appreciated!

Many thanks!

You can just install Plesk server to new supported version of Ubuntu and migrate old Plesk to new with Plesk Migration Manager or with Plesk Mass Migration Script

Hi Igor, thanks for the response.

Having not used the Migration Manager tool before, I have a few questions...

How would I go about using it on the same physical machine. Would I just upgrade the Ubuntu installation without doing anything with the Plesk installation, re-install Plesk and then use the Migration Tool in the new installation to pull-in all the data from the old installation? This would cause over-right issues, no?

Sorry if that seems a strange question, just want to make an informed decision as to whether I should start this upgrade process.

Thanks

Dave, upgrading your OS would not break plesk but even if it did, you would not loose any data and you can reinstall your plesk ontop of the newly upgraded O/S

Thanks abdi, exactly what I was hoping to hear!

Will give it try over night at some point!
