Plesk 8.6 list of supported OS and changes

[105547111]

Can I please get a list of supported OS for Plesk 8.6 there is nothing on the website still only 8.4

I was hoping Fedora 9 was supported?

[RS_Jelle]

It's on the website: http://www.parallels.com/en/products/plesk/reqs/

The only new one is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

And it seems support for CentOS 3 was dropped, while RHEL 3 is still supported.

[105547111]

Even with centos can't stay on the same version for ever and ever...

[breun]

Yeah, but it would be nice if Parallels would announce the end of life for CentOS 3. The CentOS team will support CentOS 3 until the end of 2010 (http://dag.wieers.com/blog/rhel-backported-one-additional-year). And since CentOS 3 is binary compatible with RHEL 3 and RHEL 3 is still supported I don't understand why CentOS 3 is no longer supported.

[105547111]

Yes indeed I thought they normally listed it WAY in advance?

Its probably a case of too many versions to build for and fix issues between the same OS different versions, let alone cross OS's... and maybe we expect to see RH3 die off next version...

You should probably be able to use the RHEL3 packages on a C3 system.

[breun]

Yeah, that worked back when there were no CentOS packages for Plesk. I recall having to change /etc/redhat-release to match a RHEL system though (and having to change it back when you want to use yum).

[atomicturtle]

You only had to do that if you were using the autoupdater, through yum it worked just fine

Gentlemen,

Thank you for the reports.

The Plesk Requirements (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/plesk/reqs/) page is updated.

We have dropped CentOS 3 and FreeBSD 5 support since Plesk 8.6 because of some reasons. The main are a small number of Plesk customers who use these OSes and it is impossible to increase the list of supported platforms indefinitely.
We are going to drop RHEL 3 support since the next version.

And maybe to add FreeBSD 7 support (including 64 bit version) ?

FreeBSD 7 will be supported in Plesk 9.

Plesk used to be supported on OS X (*not* on OS X Server), but not anymore.

OSX Server Market is growing.. The is no control panel like Plesk for Mac OSX Server, the most famous is iTools but is nothing in front of Plesk.. I Think that a porting for Plesk to Mac OSX Server may be not too difficult..

FreeBSD 7 will be supported in Plesk 9.

Hello RS_Jelle,

Thank you for the report.

Unfortunately this is misprint. It will be fixed as soon as possible.

Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0 does not support Fedora 9 and FreeBSD 7 yet.
