CentOS 7 released

Is there anyway to upgrade centos 6.7 to 7.2 on a server running plesk 12.5?

You are "supposed" be able to now upgrade from the 6 series to the 7.. but with that "feature" being so new, I didn't trust it so I just got another server and installed CentOS 7 on it and once I confirmed it all was working the way I wanted moved my sites over to it.
I doubt that Plesk will allow you to do the OS upgrade, you most likely will have to do it via CLI. Then the issue will probably be that the PLESK libraries will be for the older version and you have to do an upgrade or re-install for it.

Debian had been doing upgrades long enough I trusted theirs - but for so long CentOS was a wipe/re-install upgrade and I had read of problems that people had with doing the new procedure.
 
Yeah, not going risk trying to upgrade it, but my problem is my SSL is tied to my server contract for a year so can not really swap servers to be able to start with one that's already got centos.

Main thing i want to do is get http/2 up and running but plesk only support the version of nginx that's old 1.9.4 and does not support it and my apache is only 2.2.
I have been able to get mariaDB 10.0.23 installed so thats a plus, but can not find any clear guide or info on getting http/2 up and running on plesk 12.5.30 and Centos 6.7
 
I don't think the 2.2 of Apache supports HTTP/2 does it? Thought it had to be on 2.2.4 at least and it was better to be in the 2.4.x line.
The simple solution.... get a temporary server, install your current config setup on it, use the letsencrypt SSL for free (use CentMin Mod for the stack) and then have them do a fresh install of CentOS 7 on your current server and get it ready. You can get "no contract" servers for around $50-60 a month which would be fine for that. The only "down time" would be a short period of DNS propagation.
 
Datacenter refunded my SSL as it was only a week old, have now moved to a cloud based server running Centos 7 with apache 2.4.6, also got Redis running and MariaDB 10 and PHP7. Site is way faster now than before :)
Can still not do http/2 mind you as nginx version and apache still don't support it and plesk don't have the updated versions supported yet, but at least now everything on the right path forward :)
