  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Upgrading OS and Plesk remotely

I was about to ship back from the DC a Plesk 8.0.1 / Ubuntu 5.10 server to cleanly install to Plesk 8.1 / Ubuntu 6.06.

Never tried this before but thought I would just upgrade Ubuntu to 6.06 remotely and then upgrade Plesk via the autoinstaller command line. Seems to have worked with no errors so far. Although I'm not sure I would trust this to be a production server as I always like to do a full clean install of both the OS and Plesk between major OS upgrades.

I noticed that Plesk had the option of upgrading to 8.1 via the Updater but that wouldn't upgrade Ubuntu to 6.06 would it? I felt safer upgrading Ubuntu first though I thought this would trash Plesk.

Would using the Updater or command line autoinstaller have worked and been the better way to upgrade Plesk and the OS?

I think I'd still feel safer doing a clean install despite shipping the server back and forth, but am just curious as to what other's experiences have been when upgrading this way and if it's safe enough for a production server?
