View Full Version : CentOS + Plesk, yum update question

Box is running CentOS 3.1 with Plesk 7.1.3.

A month ago:
I changed the /etc/redhat-release before the plesk install to show "CentOS release 3 (final)" and changed it back to the orginal "CentOS release 3.1 (final)" after the install was completed.

Today:
I just logged into the server to do an update. (it's been a few weeks)
Running "yum update" produces a LONG list of updates it wants to apply. I've attached the output so you can see the list....
It appears that yum is going to update the box to CentOS 3.3.
My question is: Is that safe on a production box? is it very likely to break Plesk?

Thanks for any input! :)

Jeremy,

The update will not break plesk, alot of the updates I highly suggest applying to your server.

Thanks Steve!

most of the updates successfully applied without incident :D

yum broke... /etc/yum.conf is now a symbolic link pointing to /etc/centos-base-yum.conf which is a blank file! Thankfully the old yum.conf was saved as yum.conf-SAVE.
Talk about strange. Maybe they're trying to quietly give CentOS 3.3 the EOL? ;)
