Prior to installing or upgrading Plesk, be sure to backup your server.
Refer to the Plesk Installation Guide available at http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/Doc/Plesk-8.0.1r-installation-guide.pdf
to obtain instructions on installing and upgrading Plesk.

Other documentation on Plesk 8.0 is available at http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk80/docs/

Plesk 8.0 FAQ is available at http://faq.swsoft.com

1. Installing Plesk

Important:

1. Before installing Plesk 8, switch SELinux off by running command 'setenforce 0' in shell. After you have installed Plesk, switch SELinux on by running command 'setenforce 1'.
2.Before installing Plesk on a Virtuozzo-created VPS by means of a Plesk autoinstaller, install mod_ssl compatible with the Apache server version installed on your machine.
3. Before installing Plesk on Debian 3.1 - Sarge, remove the libboost-filesystem1.33.1 package. Plesk will not install if libboost-filesystem1.33.1 is included with other packages.
4. Before installing Plesk, make sure that gtar is installed. With FreeBSD versions of Plesk the gtar application must be used instead of tar.

To install Plesk software on a server,

1. Download the Auto-installer utility that suits your operating system from http://www.swsoft.com/en/download/plesk80/ and

  save it on your server's hard drive.

2. Change your working directory to the directory where the Auto-installer utility resides, for instance # cd /root/plesk
3. Set the execution permission for Auto-installer:

      # chmod +x plesk_auto_installer_file_name

4. Run the Auto-installer:

      # ./plesk_auto_installer_file_name

5. Follow the instructions presented on the screen to complete the installation.
6. When the installation is finished, Plesk will start automatically. Now, to complete the initial configuration, log in to the Plesk control panel running on your host at https://machine.domain.name:8443/ or https://IP-address:8443/. Use the username "admin" and password "setup" (both are case sensitive). For security reasons, be sure to change the password upon initial login.

Note: If you plan to use mailing lists provided by the Mailman software, you should install the mailman package by means of Plesk Auto-installer and install support for Mailman mailing lists.

2. Upgrading Plesk

Important notes for Virtuozzo users:

Prior to upgrading Plesk on virtual private servers, you need to download the latest distribution of Auto-installer utility that suits your operating system from http://www.swsoft.com/en/download/plesk75reloaded/. You will need to use it for upgrading Plesk.

If you had Plesk 7.5.4 upgraded by the Auto-installer utility, but still wish to upgrade Plesk by upgrading Virtuozzo templates, use the "Jump Mode" option.

If Plesk upgrade fails, try running the "killall -9 safe_mysqld mysqld" command and then restart the upgrade procedure.

After upgrading Plesk from version 7.x to 8.0.1, the Plesk Updater function in the control panel will be accessible. For subsequent upgrades, Virtuozzo users will need to either use the consol Auto-installer utility or unlock the control panel's Updater function. To do this, log in to Plesk's MySQL database server, type "use psa", and then run the query "update misc set val='false' where param='disable_updater';".

If you have installed tomcat4 and you want to upgrade it to tomcat5 by VZ template, you should remove tomcat4 at first. Remember, that installed applications for tomcat4 will not work with tomcat5.

There are five new applications in Application Vault. If you want to install them on VE with Plesk, installed by EZ templates, you should execute the following command:
$sudo vzpkg install -p eGroupWare geeklog pmachinefree Siteframe phpwebsite

Notes on upgrading:

After upgrading to Plesk 8.0.1, all custom (third-party) skins become unregistered. If you wish to restore the custom skins that you used before the upgrade, run the command "$PRODUCT_ROOT_D/tmp/restore-custom-skins.sh", where $PRODUCT_ROOT_D is your Plesk installation directory (for example, /usr/local/psa.) You can remove this file after restoring your skins.

2.1. Upgrading Plesk from the Control Panel

To update or upgrade your Plesk software from the control panel

Log in to Plesk as administrator, and click the Server shortcut in the left-side navigation pane. The Server Administration screen opens.
Click the Updater icon in the Services group. The control panel connects to the Plesk Update server, retrieves information on the available releases, then analyses the components installed in your system, and displays the lists of available releases and component updates. For each Plesk version released a brief description of available operations is displayed.

Note: If you want to update/upgrade from a locally stored Plesk distribution or Plesk update server mirror inside your network, click Preferences, select the "Network storage" source type, specify the URL and click OK.

Select the Plesk version that you want to update, or upgrade to. A list of available components appears.
Select the checkboxes corresponding to the components you wish to install and click Install. A confirmation page appears.
Specify your e-mail address. You will be sent a notice by e-mail once update is completed. To confirm installation of the selected components, select the checkbox and click OK. The components/updates you selected will be downloaded and automatically installed in the background mode.

2.1. Upgrading Plesk through the Auto-installer Console Utility

To update or upgrade your Plesk software by means of the Auto-installer utility

Run the 'autoinstaller' binary file, which is located in the directory /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/ on RPM-based Linux and FreeBSD systems, and /opt/psa/admin/bin on deb-based Linux systems.
Type 1 and press Enter. The Auto-installer will detect your existing installation of Plesk and ask if you want to upgrade it. Type 'y' and press Enter.
Specify the source of Plesk distribution package. You can choose to upgrade from a local media, the official Plesk update server, or another Internet site. Once you have selected the source, type 1 and press Enter.
Specify the proxy server settings, if applicable, then type 1 and press Enter to continue.
Select the product version that you wish to upgrade to: type '3' and press Enter, then type the number corresponding to the product name of your choice and press Enter again. Type 1 and press Enter to continue.
Type the number corresponding to the "Overwrite All" option, and press Enter.
select the components that you wish to install or upgrade, then type 1 and press Enter to continue. Once the required components are downloaded, your Plesk software will be upgraded.

Note: When upgrading Plesk from 7.5.x to 8.0.1 using Auto-installer, be sure to upgrade the Tomcat component, otherwise, Java applications will not be supported on your server.

3. Installing Plesk Manually from rpm Packages

Log in as "root" to your system. If you are upgrading Plesk, stop its services by running the command /etc/init.d/psa stopall
Make sure that all required packages are installed.

You can check whether a particular package is already installed by entering the following command:

  sh# rpm -q

For example:

  sh# rpm -q psa

If you plan to publish sites created in SWsoft SiteBuilder to Plesk server, you should install the following package from the 'dist-rpm-FedoraCore-1-i386/opt/sbpublish' directory of your Plesk distribution:

If you plan to use Tomcat Java Servlets support, you should install the following packages from the 'thirdparty-rpm-FedoraCore-1-i386' directory of your Plesk distribution:

j2sdk-1_4_2-linux-i586.rpm
tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm
tomcat4-admin-webapps-4.1.24-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm
tomcat4-webapps-4.1.24-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm

If you plan to use mailing lists provided by the Mailman software, you should install the mailman package by means of Plesk Auto-installer and install support for Mailman mailing lists.

When the installation is finished, Plesk will start automatically.
In order to complete the Plesk initial configuration, you need to log in to Plesk
on your host at https://machine.domain.name:8443/ or https://IP-Address:8443/

The default username is "admin" and the default password is "setup", both are case sensitive.
For security reasons, this password should be changed upon initial login.

NOTES:
Plesk enables PHP safe_mode during installation (the directive 'safe_mode-On'
in php.ini). However, you can disable the safe_mode for individual domains if required.
To do this, you should use the vhost.conf (vhost_ssl.conf) features.
See http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/Doc/plesk-8.0r-admins-guide-html/apas02.html
for details.

In order to use multiple interface languages in the Webmail application, you may need to run the 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' command and choose the locales to install.

Plesk cannot enable user quotas on XFS partition during installation
because such operation requires remount of XFS partition. In order to enable
hard disk quotas on XFS partition you should manually remount it with usrquota
option (additional information can be found on 'quotaon' man page).

We recommend that you install the Turba contact management application, if you wish to have access to the contact list entries you had in your Horde 2 application before upgrade. To install Horde applications, use the command
rpm -i

For managing the SiteBuilder system through Plesk, the 'remote_admin' user account with administrator's privileges is created in the SiteBuilder. To ensure the proper work of the SiteBuilder Remote Administration module, you should not remove or block this user account.
however, if you do not use the SiteBuilder Remote Administration Module, you can remove this user account.

To make operating the SiteBuilder API (remote_admin) more secure, the
/usr/local/sitebuilder/remote_admin directory is password protected, and the following default user name and password are stored in the .htpasswd file: radmin/sbradmin. For security reasons you must change the default password. To do this, run the command 'htpasswd /usr/local/sitebuilder/remote_admin/.htpasswd radmin', and then enter the new password and confirm it.

30. [+] [PMM] IP Mapping correction

Simplified IP mapping during migration - Simplification of IP mapping in Plesk Migration Manager makes migration even quicker and easier than it was before. All excessive IP mapping is removed, as you only need to map those IPs that are actually used by migration objects.

31. [+] [API] MD5 authentication in XMLRPC

MD5 authentication in XML RPC - Plesk 8 gives you the option to use MD5 authentication in Plesk XML RPC. This vastly improves Plesk Control Panel security when using Plesk API, enabling you to encrypt the passwords and protect Plesk from potential hacker attacks.

32. [+] [API] Support for SpamAssassin and Dr.Web

Improved SpamAssassin and Dr.Web API management - With Plesk 8 you can manage SpamAssassin and Dr.Web through Plesk API much more effectively than before, utilizing a wide range of commands and options previously unavailable for API management.

33. [*] Chroot shell supporting improvement

Improved support of Chroot Shell Environment - Plesk 8 vastly improves disk space usage for Chroot shell environment in vhost. Now disk space usage for chroot shell environment in vhost is minimized, saving your precious free HDD space.

34. [+] SOA records management

DNS SOA records management - In this version you can manage DNS Start of Authority (SOA) records through Plesk Control Panel. With added support for DNS SOA records management, Plesk offers you more DNS fine-tuning options than ever before.

35. [*] DNS Zone internal presentation redesign

Improved usability of DNS records management - Plesk 8 drastically improves the security and usability of DNS records management, employing dynamic DNS records generation forms. With new simplified DNS management interface and dynamic forms the possibility of making a mistake when managing your DNS records is close to none.

36. [*] CLI interface utilities reorganization

CLI interface utilities update - Beginning with Plesk 8, CLI interface utilities do not use .sh name suffix anymore. We recommend all Plesk 8 users to use the new, more convenient syntax. While the old syntax will be supported for a while, it is outdated and its support will eventually cease.

37. [*] Mambo CMS and reorganization

Mambo CMS and osCommerce applications have been moved to Application Vault.

6. Known Problems

Watchdog 2.0 module for Plesk does not monitor disk space usage when Plesk is installed inside Virtuozzo VPS (in Virtuozzo versions below 3.0.0).
Watchdog 2.0 module for Plesk does not rate number of files on some OSes.
If you install by hand packages containing the scripts that use PHP CLI as "#!/usr/bin/php" (for example, phpPgAdmin), then be sure to install package containing PHP CLI v.4.

  If you wish to install package using PHP CLI v.5, create the following link: "/usr/bin/php -> /usr/bin/php5".

Creation utilities (aka API CLI) do not use the .sh name suffix now. For example, the utility '/usr/local/psa/bin/domain.sh' is now named '/usr/local/psa/bin/domain'. This can cause problems in functioning of third-party products that use these scripts.

  Note: Old syntax is still supported, but the compatibilty wrappers will be removed in the next major release.

SSH Terminal may not work properly, failing to log in, when trying to connect to Plesk. For the proper work, modify the SSH Terminal configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config as follows:
1. In the configuration file, find the strings

          "# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
          PasswordAuthentication no
          #PermitEmptyPasswords no".

Remark the string "PasswordAuthentication no" by adding the # sign to the beginning of the string or change the string "PasswordAuthentication no" to "PasswordAuthentication yes".
Save the file.

Plesk does not restrict access to the netinfo database for users that are logged in to the chroot account. Thus, the chroot users have access to the general system information including the list of all users and domains existing on the server. Be aware of the issue when you create system accounts on the server.
Some site applications (siteapps) dependent on remote MySQL database server will not work with the MySQL server version 4 or later. Make sure that a compatible version of MySQL server is installed before installing siteapps.
When upgrading FreeBSD OS on Plesk-running servers (FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.3 for PLesk 7.5.4; FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.4 for Plesk 8.0), problems occur during upgrade because of the missing Perl modules. To avoid problems, stop Plesk before FreeBSD OS upgrade. Restart Plesk after the FreeBSD OS upgrade is completed.
It is best to host non-Plesk databases on remote hosts other than the Plesk-managed server to avoid performance problems caused by MySQL workload surges. If you must host the MySQL databases on the Plesk-managed server, configure firewall and the MySQL DBMS and database access policies to minimize potential adverse effects of malicious attacks on the Plesk-managed server performance. If you plan to use the "Remote Database Hosting" feature of Plesk, we recommend using a dedicated server for database hosting.
Site preview will not work for websites that have the webuser@domain.com access format enabled. (Domains -> domain.tld -> Web users -> Preferences -> Enable webuser@domain.com).
On FreeBSD you should download autoinstaller from SWSoft web site to upgrade to latest Plesk version.
Do not install/upgrade EZ templates of SiteBuilder, PPWSE or sb-publish at once. Please install or upgrade SiteBuilder EZ template after all others.
Due to bug in PHP which comes with RHEL3 x64 it's impossible to publish SiteBuilder's v.3 sites on this server. Please contact SWsoft support to obtain workaround detail's.
php4-sqlite extension in Ubuntu and Debian Linux do not automatically register itself in php.ini. To fix it please put "extension=sqlite.so" string in /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini and restart apache.
