Upgrading Plesk...

[techwide]

Hi,

I am running Plesk 7.5.4 and I have realised that I need to upgrade to the later version.

The latest version I can upgrade is 8.4 but before I proceed I want to make sure it will work.

Is it safe to upgrade from 7.5.4 to 8.4?

Will Mysql be ported ok?

I am worrying because there are many websites running on my server.


Thanks..

Hello,

Do you have Plesk on FreeBSD installed? If yes, please, review the acticles specific for Plesk on FreeBSD upgrade:

Actually, it is not recommended to upgarde Plesk 7.5.4 to 8.x versions on FreeBSD; it is better to prepare a new server with one of supported FreeBSD versions installed (http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk84/reqs/) , install the needed Plesk version and perform data migration from the old server.
