• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

Updating PHP in Plesk 10 from 5.1.x to 5.3.x

I am hope I am at the right place, I just purchased a VPS plan through a provider and the version of PHP within my initial Plesk 10 shell came preinstalled with php 5.1.6. not the current 5.3 version. I am told by them that Plesk 10 will not run PHP 5.3 within CentOS 5. Is this true?

Here is a couple quotes from our conversation:

Them:
"I'm sorry the plesk installer requires these packages. I removed the php packages and installed php53 from the CentOS respository, this caused an issue with Plesk's PHP -- it requires that you have the 5.1 version:

psa-php5-configurator Failed dependencies:

php-cli is needed by psa-php5-configurator-1.6.1-cos5.build1012110525.15.x86_64"

Me:
"Plesk 10 can run PHP5.3. See these links for reference:

http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=108371
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=109479

Please let me know once you have the latest version of PHP up to date on my VPS."

Them:
"Yes, however the Plesk 10 php binaries that are packaged for CentOS 5 are built against the php version 5.1.x that is available in CentOS5."

End quotes**

I upgraded to a VPS from a VDS in order to get the latest version of PHP as the Sphera system that I was on previously would not run PHP 5.2.4. and I need at least that version to install Wordpress 5.2.1.

It is possible to install PHP 5.3.* in Sphera 10 through the container interface and have it play well?
The instruction referenced in the links I referenced above regarding this are a little above my comfort level. Surely this must be possible through the container interface.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
