Updating on Suse 9.0

[mceigl]

Hi!

Any ideas?

How can I update from 7.1.5 to 7.5 on Suse 9.0 ?
The strongly recommended autoinstaller is not able
to support any system below the mentioned version... :-(

I don't want to update to 9.1 because the existing problems
with apache2 + php 4.3.4 and some other stuff....

thanks 4 help.

any update on this? Is SUSE 9.0 ever going to be supported?

the technical support told me, that currently
therre is no release date for plesk 7.5 on suse 9.0

in addition to that i made the mistake to upgrade my
key to 7.5 before installing.

re-installing the plesk 7 key ended up in a lost
appilcation vault licence, but cost-free added
dr. web licence.

swsoft was not able to downgrade my 7.5 key, so
they had to generate a new 7 key for me, although the
old one was working. funny.

Well that really sux. So what are you gonna do? Stick with SuSE 9.0 and Plesk 7.1.x?

well, i have to... i tried suse 9.1 before and had massive
problems with apache 2.x and php >= 4.3.4

so i started reinstall with 9.0 and php 4.3.3 ..

Were/Are your problems a known issue? Do you think the same will result on all 9.1 upgrades? What types of problems were you having? Do you think updating Apache and/or PHP will help?

no, actually I think a good solution would be to upgrade
to suse 9.1 and downgrade to apache 2.x and php 4.3.3
again. but I first I have to setup a local workaround to
test the complete process...

maybe next weekend...

if you have time to check this out, please send me your
experiences.
