Q: Does Plesk install PHP4, or PHP5?
A: Plesk doesn't really distribute, or create core packages like httpd, php, mysql, bind, etc. It is designed to use whatever the vendor of that OS distributes. So in the case of CentOS 4, that would be PHP 4.3. Plesk does mirror core OS components from the vendor, which will install the vendors packages required to support Plesk.
Q: Why doesn't Plesk distribute these packages?
A: In 2000, we made the design decision to leverage linux vendors packages where we could, rather than distribute our own. This was indended to both open the product to 3rd party enhancements, and reduce the training overhead required to manage plesk servers in a hosting environment.
Q: What versions of PSA are compatible with Mysql 5.0?
A: PSA 8.1 and above.
Q: Can I get PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5 on Plesk if I'm using CentOS 4, or RHEL 4?
A: Yes, however it cannot be installed through the plesk autoinstaller. CentOS 4 users can install PHP 5.2 and Mysql 5 from the centosplus channel. RHEL4 users can also use the CentOS channel, by adding it to their up2date configuration.
