Plesk Web Hosting 6.0 ADMINISTRATOR MANUAL > Upgrading Plesk Web Hosting from version 5.0.x to 6.0

FreeBSD 4.7

Before performing the Plesk Web Hosting upgrade you must backup your Plesk Web Hosting 5.0.x web server. To backup your Plesk Web Hosting 5.0.x web server follow these steps:

NOTE

This backup procedure may require a huge amount of storage space. Another good way to back up the Plesk Web Hosting web server is to make a full backup of the system.

  1. Stop Plesk Web Hosting services. Stop as many services as possible in your system (if you access web server locally, you may stop inetd.).

  2. Make copies of the following files and web directories (you may use TAR):

    IMPORTANT

    All file attributes must be preserved.

    • /etc
    • /var
    • /tmp
    • /usr

    If you cannot backup the complete /usr, you should backup the following files and web directories:

    • /usr/sbin/sendmail
    • /usr/lib/sendmail
    • /usr/local/frontpage
    • /usr/local/psa

  3. After completing the backup, run the Plesk Web Hosting self-extracting script to update your Plesk Web Hosting 5.0.x software to Plesk Web Hosting 6.0.

  4. If the upgrade was not successfully completed, you should restore your previous installation.

    1. Repeat step 1.

    2. Replace files and web directories pointed in step 2 with their backup copies.

    3. Start the services you stopped in step 1.

    NOTE

    If you used language pack for Plesk Web Hosting 5.0.x, then you will need to install the language pack for Plesk Web Hosting 6.0 after upgrade, for the proper localization. Any custom interface skins used for Plesk Web Hosting 5.0.x control panel will not work properly with Plesk Web Hosting 6.0, as the skins formats are incompatible.
