Very interested in doing this - but will Plesk 7.5.4 support PHP 5.x (5.2.3 specifically) ? Does PSA itself depend on PHP code ?
Will Plesk support MySQL 5.0 or 5.1 beta ?
Shouldnt yum updates be done after stopping httpd and psa ?
Btw, I got a box having FC2 not CentOS.

I use php packages from Atomic Rocket Turtle, and right now ART doesn’t support PHP 5.2.3 yet. PSA depend on PHP, their administration is using PHP. But ART packages also update Plesk
Unfortunately, mySQL packages from ART doesn’t support mysql 5.0 yet.
For safety, you can stop httpd and psa before update. But no trouble at all for me while httpd and psa still running. That’s beauty of ART packages
ART also support FC, just configure /etc/yum.conf.
Here is a link to ART for FC.
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault/
and
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa-7.5/
You can find packages suitable for FC there, and there is an instructions below of every pages from ART.
A little bit sample of yum.conf configuration, can look here :

I can not help much about FC, but hopefully information above can help you. Thank you

According to this, MySQL can be upgraded to latest version because they use a separate MySQL server for PSA which is located elsewhere and on different port. Just cant seem to find %plesk_dir%databases
I suck at linux, thats how I landed here in the first place, but an excellent place to know.
Btw, your feed displays only the last 5 psots - google reader doesnt seem to have cached your previous posts. Maybe change to last 25 or so ?

Feed Display has been change in to 25 posts. :-). Here is what i learn from plesk, they keep Plesk configuration and clients/domains settings in database, named psa. If you log on to Plesk Administration and use phpMyAdmin from Plesk Administration, you can’t find them.
But if you install/upload phpMyAdmin in directory or subdomain somewhere (i’m going to post this soon), and log on, you can find that database.
ART has been taking care both side of MySQL in Plesk, MySQL server and MySQL server database in one time update. If you log on to phpMyAdmin, both from Administration and ‘Outside’, they show MySQL 4.1 And according to SWSOFT, “MySQL server can be updated only to the latest version in 4.x.x series of MySQL”, so ART packages limited only to 4.1 version to maintain system stability . I’ll look more information about link you give me to update MySQL server database, to MySQL 5.x. Thank you

they keep Plesk configuration and clients/domains settings in database, named psa - maybe I should’ve highlighted the server part. Plesk uses 2 MySQL servers - one for PSA where the database ‘psa’ is probably located, the other server for client websites. PSA’s mysql server resides on port 8306 while the MySQL server for clients resides on the default on 3306. So the default MySQL server is independent of PSA, thats why I was interested in getting MySQL upgraded to 5.0.45 or even 5.1 beta !

I understand what you means, please read my comment above. I’ve been update my comment, to explain about psa database, phpMyAdmin, ART and their connection with mySQL server and mySQL client. I’ll be update this post soon, i’m still looking at this matter. Thank you.
