To upgrade 8.x or 9.x versions of Plesk to the latest version via the command line, follow the instructions given below.
Important:
1. Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5 is not upgraded. Alternatively, the new version of Presence Builder (former SiteBuilder) installs beside the previous one. Hence, you have the opportunity to manage existing sites in Sitebuilder 4.5 and create sites either in Presence Builder or in SiteBuilder 4.5. The upgrade of existing sites to the new format is performed manually.
2. If you used Plesk Billing, add the Customer & Business Manager component to the list of components to upgrade.
To update or upgrade your Plesk through the command line:
chmod +x plesk-installer
On a Linux/Unix server:
./plesk-installer
On a Windows server:
plesk-installer.exe --console
Note: As described in the section Before Upgrading Plesk, you can select a Plesk build for an upgrade depending on its release tier. By default, Installer shows you only the latest general and late adopter releases. To be able to upgrade to other Plesk releases, use the following Installer options:--all-versions
to view all available Plesk versions.--tier <release_tier>
to view the latest available versions with the specified release tier.
You can choose to upgrade from a local medium, the official Plesk updates server, or another site. By default, the official server is selected. If you wish to retrieve installation files from a local medium or network storage:
Note: If you are running Windows, it is possible to use local system paths when specifying the source. Network shares cannot be used directly, only if you preliminarily map a network drive to a local drive.
Tip: The selected packages are marked with [*] symbols. The packages that are already installed and do not require updating are marked with [=] symbols. The component groups that contain selected components are marked with [.]. To select or deselect a package, type the corresponding number and press ENTER..
The packages will be downloaded and installed.
If you upgrade Plesk with Business Manager, the components require some time (not more than five minutes) to set up integration after the upgrade is completed. During this period, you may not see Business Manager links in Plesk, Business Manager may require your password to log in, and you may see a message about invalid credentials when logging in.
If you want to force the integration, log in to Business Manager and reconnect Plesk manually. To do this, go to Home, group Sync Statistics, click the corresponding link, select Plesk ID, and click Reconnect.
