Upgrade from 8.1

[Jay Connaughton]

Hey Guys,

I have a server running 8.1 and want to upgrade all the way to 9.2.

Two questions:

Q1. Do I have to upgrade a version at a time... I.E., 8.1 to 8.2 to 8.3... or can i upgrade in one big move from 8.1 to 9.2?

Q2. My server is running PHP5 and won't let me upgrade to 8.2 b/c it requires PHP4. So am i stuck w/o downgrading?

Thanks for you help!

I dont know if you can do a direct upgrade, but I have always used incremental ones and worked very well. I'd recommend the latter.

Hello,

1. Although it is not stated in the Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2 for Linux/Unix Installation Guide

Upgrading Parallels Plesk Panel on Linux and FreeBSD
http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-unix-installation-guide/18514.htm

it is strongly recommended to upgarde first to Plesk 8.6 and after that to the latest version of Plesk, which is currently Plesk 9.2.

2. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article

I cannot upgrade Parallels Plesk Panel using autoinstaller because package of newer version is installed

I think that is exactly your case.

Regards,
Denis.

Really?

Denis, what does a kb article about "How can we import/export accounts and invoices from/into external accounting system?" have to do with upgrading from Plesk 8.1? http://kb.odin.com/en/615

Maybe you meant a different kb article?

Thanks,
