8.2

[SurfMarketing]

When will 8.2 be released and what will be in the release?

[RS_Jelle]

It's scheduled for mid-late June.

There will be CentOS 5 support for sure I've heard. Have a look at the other forums for more talks about it, there are already a lot of topics about it :)

[SurfMarketing]

I am looking forward to it ;)

[Hal9000]

ok we got friday 29 june now, anyone heard of a more concrete release date? perhaps today? :)

[SurfMarketing]

What is included in the new version will have in it?

[petrucci]

Helpdesk told me it has been delayed to July 9th

[SurfMarketing]

Ok thanks, does anyone know what features will be added?

[Hal9000]

it is widelly discussed in several threads in this forum... just SEARCH for it.

[SurfMarketing]

I searched but did not find anything about what is going to be new, I need frontpage ext. They are the really most important us.

Oh great, they've "pulled a cPanel" on us (I coined this term... Whenever someone delays something without telling the public :D).

I surely hope they're not going to do what cPanel did with their stage 2 release of cPanel 11... The initial release (CURRENT build) was scheduled for mid-May 2007. They pushed back to the end of May, then the start of June, then pushed back to end of June. Now it's scheduled for July 17, 2007, but I think they'll push it back again :P

I searched but did not find anything about what is going to be new, I need frontpage ext. They are the really most important us.

Search the forums. The FrontPage Extensions have been EOL'd by Microsoft (last year) and they don't allow distribution of the extensions anymore. They won't reappear in any upcoming Plesk version.

[SurfMarketing]

they are still used in other control panels.

[breun]

If you've had the extensions on your Plesk server in the past, they won't be removed, but SWsoft is no longer allowed to distribute the extensions. If other control panels are still distributing the extensions I believe they are violating the license terms or maybe they have some secret special deal with Microsoft. I doubt it though, since Microsoft doesn't support FrontPage anymore.

Try http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage

[Hal9000]

it has been pointed out several times before, you can still manually install the frontpage package from a previous plesk version (don't remember which was the latest to have frontpage) and they will work.
but still, **** frontpage you know... i'm surprised that there are people still using that crap.

[SurfMarketing]

Anyone know when 8.2 will released and the new features?

[Hal9000]

so, the date says 10th July, looks like we've got to wait another day for the release.
unfortunatelly, no word about postfix support in the "what's new" pdf :(

[Daniel15]

Wow, their English is almost as bad as cPanel's... From the PDF:

19. Piped logs for Apache – So Plesk now to uses pipeloging for apache logs so that services work more efficiently.

"So Plesk now to uses pipelogging"??? :eek: :confused:

If it doesn't support Postfix, I'm going to scream at them... Their customer support said that it would support Postfix. :rolleyes: :mad:

Edit: As far as I can tell, that PDF relates a lot to the Windows version of Plesk, not the Linux one... It mentions some Windows-specific components.

[breun]

It mentions both Linux and Windows specific information. But the PDF doesn't say which platforms are supported (RHEL/CentOS 5?), so I'd say this is not a complete document. Let's just wait till the release announcement has been made.

[mediashaker]

I sure hope that there is more than this?

1. Openfusion
2. Horde updated
3. Better awstats support (previous months)

Whoopty Dingdong!

[singex]

I sure hope they added support for centos 5. I'm tired of rh4 and fedora. I was also hoping for postfix support. And correct me if I'm wrong but isn't kaspersky more expensive than dr. web? Besides that, backups via api is nice. As is 25% quicker installation time.

[begore]

Fingers crossed for today - and hopfully Debian 4.0 support!

Ooh, cool.

Where's that from?

[eilko]

http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk82/reqs/

see also new What's new. More than 30 features instead of 50 in the first draft. No Postfix for what I can see.

[Daniel15]

Debian 4.1 i586 and 64bit
Uh... 4.1? I'm hoping they mean Etch (which is 4.0) :)

More than 30 features instead of 50 in the first draft.
Heaps of them are just "Upgraded xx to version x.x" :P

[begore]

Yep, spotted the 4.1 too. lol

Guess someone just changed the 3 to a 4, and forgot the bit after the period.

A lot of links on that page are dead.

[pdreissen]

I am sorry but it looks more than a windows only release. Not many fixes or features for linux are included. Looks like they are heading for the windows only plesk, faster and faster....

If you look into the Doc dir you'l also find all guides to Plesk 8.2 (unix ;-) )

[Hal9000]

any words of postfix in those guides?
what is that ftp server you connected too? i want to as well :)

i don't mean to be rude but... where the **** is the promised postfix? :(

[SurfMarketing]

I can not see the updates released in my updater

[Hal9000]

they are uploading right in this moment!
hal

[Hal9000]

everything is up, they just need to update their plesk.inf3 file :)

[Hal9000]

ready! upgraded to plesk 8.2 on debian 3.1 without problems.
will try the dist-upgrade to 4.0 this weekend...

And... Any Postfix? :)

I upgraded to Plesk 8.2 on Debian 3.1 without any problems. I'm now upgrading to Plesk 8.2 on Debian 4.0. I'll let you know how it goes! :)

[Hal9000]

no postfix :(
version 8.2 changes are rather useless for unix... but at least it supports debian 4.0, so still a good reason to upgrade... :(

it looks like the autoinstaller is still missing:

[begore]

Yep, the one file I actually needed, and it's the one file that isn't there. Grr.

[SHGreg]

I'm not sure why some people are expecting postfix in 8.2, multiple mail servers will be available in 9.0 :)

[Hal9000]

cause support hotline promised that several times to several customers, and also 4psa told me there was going to be postfix in plesk 8.2
what a disappointment

I did not use the autoinstaller on Debian 4.0, I upgraded via apt-get as I detailed here (http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45589) :).

what a disappointment
Off to ISP-Config I go...
It's not a good sign when someone moves from an expensive control panel to a free and open-source one. I will not be recommending Plesk any longer.

[begore]

I'm not upgrading. I've got a brand new dedicated server sitting here, has been for 2 months, running Debian 4.0... so I need to be able to do a fresh install. I don't really want to bother upgrading Plesk on the old server.

[perler]

i tot need the autoinstaller, is there a way to tell swsoft, that the file is missing? maybe it's just a typo..

PAT

[begore]

I've checked on the FTP server and the Debian 3.1 file is in the Debian 4.0 folder - same file name and size... so I'm assuming it's just the wrong file that's been copied in.

[perler]

..which means?


PAT

[begore]

Which means we'll need to wait for them to upload the correct file.

[begore]

It's there now. Just installing as we speak.

[romino]

:(
trying to update 8.1.1 > 8.2 on my debian 3.1 sever.

But i have the following error:

Fatal error during license key upgrade

and so upgrade doesn't starts ....

I've disabled my firewall, but not much better.

Any idea?

[danliker]

someone has postet the same problem, and solved it with update the debian way (change source.list, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade)

[romino]

mm ... have an idea:

i have sitebuilder installed and the the license is OK with version 3

For the update, i check "Sitebuilder 4", and the error message is the following:

---
Need key update for component sitebuilder
Download file sb_getkeyinfo.sh: 100% done.
Ask KA server for possibility of keyupdate for component sitebuilder
Check key update for product SiteBuilderLogin to version 4.0.0
KA server said: key upgrade is not available for key 'SB.XXXXX.XXXXX' (component sitebuilder)
catch error with message: Fatal error during license key upgrade
ERROR: Fatal error during license key upgrade
Check SElinux status after error:
Exit with ERROR status
----

Would my license not be compatible with the new version of sitebuilder ?!!!!

Lack of internal communication. Sales are clueless, Support are clueless and Customer Services.....err...ahhh.........there is no customer services!!! I find that completely unbelievable for a company this size :confused:

No customer services, no communication with customers - enter SWSOFT!

Appalling

[KirkM]

23. Upgrade of phpMyAdmin (Windows version only) – phpMyAdmin in Plesk for Windows has been updated.

26. Upgrade of clients MySQL (Windows version only) – MySQL has been upgraded to latest version.

WINDOWS VERSION ONLY?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!

Does anybody at SWSOFT realize that the old versions of these don't work correctly in all features on Plesk / Linux while using MYSQL 5? If they are going to claim support for MYSQL 5, then shouldn't all the packaged elements within Plesk work with it?

EDIT:
Also, everything upgraded except Application Vault and Sitebuilder. It says it was successful but it is still the old stuff there and updater says it needs to be updated. Tried many times and the same result.

Edit #2
My other box won't even do any of the upgrade. It fails with this:

Check for components requires keyupdate
No keyupdate need for component base
Need key update for component sitebuilder
Download file sb_getkeyinfo.sh: 100% done.
Ask KA server for possibility of keyupdate for component sitebuilder
Check key update for product SiteBuilderLogin to version 4.0.0
Failed to connect to key update server (can't check keyupdate for component sitebuilder)
catch error with message: Fatal error during license key upgrade
ERROR: Fatal error during license key upgrade
Check SElinux status after error:
Exit with ERROR status

Any way to remove that Sitebuilder garbage?
