• 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.

Upgrading in which order (Plesk/FTP/SM)

Hello together,

We're using Plesk 7.5.6 (20051107.20) along with Smartermail Professtional Edition 2.6 and Gene 6 FTP Professional Edition (version 3.7.0).

We now want to upgrade to the newest version of all these products, especially as SPAM tagging in Smartermail 2.6 has a lot of wrong detections.

So in which order shall we upgrade the products, I would see the following:

0. Disconnecting Internet, stopping all services
1. Backup of the whole machine (Acronis)
2. Start services again, install Plesk Upgrade to 7.6.1
3. Reboot, Installing Smartermail 3.2, Reboot and testing
4. Installing Gene6 FTP newest build
5. Testing everything, if working enabling Internet again

I read the release notes, along with the troubles in the forum, are there any other steps which should be followed before.

Questions:

A. Will PHP 5.0 be installed automatically, or are there any manual steps needed (like I read in a thread).

B. Will Smartermail Upgrade work without problems, and webmail also, or is there something specical as it supports IIS / own solution of SM now. (any manual config steps?)

C. Does SM 3.2. now support SSL https://webmail connections? I can't find a real answer on the Smartertools site to that. (as I don't like to use addtional tools, if not really necessary.)

Thanks a lot for a short comment, if the upgrade is okay like that?

Regards
Patrick
