Easy steps to upgrade Plesk Onyx to Obsidian

by | Nov 4, 2019

It is certainly a wise choice to upgrade Plesk Onyx to Obsidian

if you want new efficient features and high security. Upgrading might be a relatively straight forward process, but it’s always useful to bring a guide.

At Bobcares, we often get requests to upgrade the Plesk panel to the latest version as a part of our Server Management Services.

Today, let us discuss how our Support Engineers upgrade to the latest version for our customers.

Why upgrade Plesk Onyx to Obsidian?

Plesk control panel is an optimal solution for web hosting business. In other words, it provides a simple and user-friendly interface to manage the server.

It is always better to stay updated as the new version will have new features as well as bugs fixed from the old version. The old versions will soon be reaching the end of life and support will no longer be available. The new version is always more secure and efficient than the older version.

 

How to upgrade Plesk Onyx to Obsidian?

We usually upgrade Plesk from either via the Plesk interface or a command-line interface. During the process, the Plesk panel will be down while keeping the websites up. It will not affect the websites in any way.

Let us see how our Support Engineers upgrade Plesk Onyx to Obsidian.

 

1. Upgrading Plesk via the Plesk interface

First, we access the client’s Plesk panel as administrator and navigate to Tools & Settings.

Then on clicking on Updates and Upgrades, it shows option Install or Upgrade Product.

Now on this page, we select Plesk Obsidian from the drop-down list and click continue to start the installation.

 

Note: To upgrade the Plesk panel from Plesk interface. Port 8447 needs to be open in the firewall. If the port is blocked we open the port in the firewall before the upgrade.

 

2. Upgrading Plesk via a command-line interface

We can also do it from the command line. Our Support Engineers log in to the server’s from SSH/RDP and run the below command :

1. Linux

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller

2. Windows

"%plesk_bin%"\ai.exe --console

We run the above command in the windows command prompt as administrator
