2. Before the installation, make sure that all the required RPMs are installed. 

You can check whether a particular RPM is already installed by entering 
the following command: rpm -q 'rpmname'.

For example:

    bash$ rpm -q pam

    pam-0.74-22

You will be able to login to Plesk as before. All login names and 
passwords will remain unchanged.

NOTE:
        If you used language pack for Plesk 6.0.x, then you will need to install the language pack
for Plesk 7.0 after upgrade, for the proper localization.

NOTE:
        Any custom interface skins used for Plesk 6.0.x control panel will not work properly with
Plesk 7.0, as the skins formats are incompatible.

NOTE:
        Plesk cannot enable user quotas on XFS partition during installation
because such operation requires remount of XFS partition. In order to enable
hard disk quotas on XFS partition you should manually remount it with usrquota
option (additional information can be found on 'quotaon' man page).

NOTE:
        You can install several pre-packaged Site Applications from from the 'opt/vault'
directory in your Plesk archive. Site Applications can be installed through Plesk Control
Panel or using rpm -ivh <rpms_list> (in this case, when done, you have to go to the Control
Panel "Server" -> "Application Vault" page to refresh list of installed applications).

NOTE:
        Creation Utilities are included in Plesk distribution and installed into
/usr/local/psa/bin/ directory. Run the utility with '--help' or '-h' option for help.

Known Problems
==============

1. There is a problem with mod_python-3.0.1-3 package distributed with RedHat 9.
There are several bugs in apache.py module resulting in incorrect mod_python
scripts behaviour. Additional information and fix can be found at
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2002-December/013307.html

2. Webmail fails to attach files of size greater than 2Mb.
The reason for this is the value of parameter 'upload_max_filesize' in file /etc/php.ini,
which is set to 2M. This value can be changed manually.

3. Webmail fails to attach large files and displays large messages displaying error "Fatal error: Allowed
memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted".
The reason for this is the value of parameter 'memory_limit' in file /etc/php.ini, which is set to 8M.
This value can be changed manually.
