If you have a Fedora 2 dedicated Linux server, you can upgrade to Plesk 8.0 and begin using the enhanced features of the control panel interface.

NOTE: This upgrade is NOT recommended. There are issues with upgrading a Fedora 2 account to Plesk 8.0.*. If you perform this upgrade the new system will NOT be supported.

NOTE: This process can take up to 30 minutes to complete. When the installation is complete, you need to acquire a new Plesk key from our customer support.

  1. Log in to your server using SSH.
  2. Type this command to download the Plesk 8.0 Auto Installer:
    wget http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/FedoraC2/
    psa_installer_v3.0.2_build060704.16_os_FedoraCore_2_i386
