Upgrade Method - ssh vs control panel

[bradz]

Hi, In the past, I have always used the Plesk Control Panel to run updates, however this last time, 9.5 to 10.2, it did not work and based on a post, I tried it using ssh which work! Is it safer or better to run updates using ssh? Pros or Cons?
Thanks!

For updating via interface make sure that you have not firewalled port 8447.
I think that more experienced Plesk users uses autoinstaller CLI command. I think that it allow to control upgrade process much more effectively.

I would never do it via the GUI; you can't see what went wrong when it breaks, which is half the time, and additionally, if you do it from command line, you can type:

export PLESK_QUOTACHECK_OFF=1

before running autoinstaller and that will prevent it from calculating the mailbox quota on every single mail account on the server, which can make the upgrade take hours longer if it's a big server.
