Question

How to install beta/older Plesk versions?

Answer

Note: In case Plesk is already installed on a server, only the current Plesk version and Plesk versions to which direct upgrade can be performed will be displayed. For production servers, we strongly recommend to use the latest non-testing version.

 

Installing old/testing Plesk release on a Linux server

 

  1. Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Download Plesk Installer:

    # wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer

  3. Add execution permissions to Plesk Installer:

    # chmod +x plesk-installer

  4. Start Plesk installer with the --all-versions key:

    # ./plesk-installer --all-versions

  5. Proceed to the product list and select a desirable Plesk release using the numbers and start the installation.

    Note: Some old Plesk releases cannot be installed on newer operating systems. To see the list of supported and unsupported OSes, visit Plesk Lifecycle Policy.

    Below is the list of available Plesk releases for CentOS 7:

    CONFIG_TEXT: 1. [*] Plesk
    2. (*) Plesk Onyx 17.9.12 (testing)
    3. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.11 (testing)
    4. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.10 (testing)
    5. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.9 (testing)
    6. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.8 (testing)
    7. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.7 (testing)
    8. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.6 (testing)
    9. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.5 (testing)
    10. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.4 (testing)
    11. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.3 (testing)
    12. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 (Stable)
    13. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 (Stable)
    14. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 (Stable)

    If the required Plesk release is not available in the list, do the following:

    1. Exit Plesk Installer and run the following command to list all Plesk releases (including unsupported by this OS):

      # ./plesk-installer --show-all-releases

    2. In the command below, replace $RELEASE with the release_id taken from the output above and run the command:

      # ./plesk-installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-id $RELEASE --installation-type Typical

      For example, to install Plesk 11.5.30, run:

      # ./plesk-installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-id PLESK_11_5_30 --installation-type Typical

 

Installing old/testing Plesk release on a Windows server

 

  1. Connect to the Plesk server via RDP.

  2. Download Plesk Installer to your Windows server.

  3. Start a command prompt as an Administrator and switch to the directory with downloaded Plesk Installer (By default, C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads):

    C:\> cd C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads

  4. Start Plesk installer with the --all-versions key:

    C:\> plesk-installer.exe --console --all-versions

  5. Proceed to the product list and select a desirable Plesk release using the numbers:

    CONFIG_TEXT: 1. [*] Plesk
    2. (*) Plesk Onyx 17.9.12 (testing)
    3. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.11 (testing)
    4. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.10 (testing)
    5. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.9 (testing)
    6. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.8 (testing)
    7. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.7 (testing)
    8. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.6 (testing)
    9. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.5 (testing)
    10. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.4 (testing)
    11. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.3 (testing)
    12. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 (Stable)
    13. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 (Stable)
    14. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 (Stable)

    I wanted to instal version 17.0.17 but unfortunately that does not work anymore, man googles and searches the whole plesk forum / page and follows every (excuse) shit instructions and man can not install except version 17.8.11 -.- but I need 17.0. 17 with php 5.6 and not 17.8.11 where only php 7+ is there are too many cms systems not yet running on php7 !!! and many of my clients also want to use php 5.6

    `# plesk-installer --all-versions` still works and Plesk Onyx 17.0 can be chosen, unless Plesk Onyx 17.8 is already installed or Debian 9 is used.
    Plesk Onyx 17.8 is the only Plesk version which supports Debian 9.

    @Viktor, am I correct that you are using Debian 9? In this case, this is expected as only Plesk.

    Hi Contact

    Modern operating systems do not support PHP 5.6 and lower versions. Check out this KB article for details.

    You can install a custom PHP version and register it in Plesk using these instructions.
