Important Notes on Upgrading the Panel on PVC for Linux

When you upgrade Plesk 8.x or 9.x to the latest version of Parallels Plesk Panel 10 in the Parallels Containers for Linux.

Make sure you upgrade all installed components when upgrading to a newer version of Parallels Plesk Panel. This is required to avoid conflicts caused by outdated components.

Note: Do not remove templates of previous Plesk versions from the VPS prior to upgrade.

Important: Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder 4.5 is not upgraded. Alternatively, the new version of SiteBuilder installs beside the previous one. Hence, you have the opportunity to manage existing sites in Sitebuilder 4.5 and create new sites either in Sitebuilder 5.0 or in 4.5. The upgrade of existing sites to the new format is performed manually.
