## Changing Updater Settings

By default, updates for Parallels Plesk Panel and updates for your operating system are downloaded from the official updates server at http://autoinstall.plesk.com.

If you want to receive Parallels Plesk Panel updates from a local network storage, do the following:

1. Go to Home > Updates (in the Help & Support group).
2. Click Preferences.
3. Click the Parallels Plesk Panel Update Source tab.
4. From the Source type menu, select the Network storage option and specify the URL to the directory where updates reside.
5. Click OK to apply settings.

If you want to receive updates for your server's operating system from the operating system vendor's site, do the following:

1. Go to Home > Updates (in the Help & Support group).
2. Click Preferences.
3. Click the Sources of Operating System Updates tab.
4. To exclude the updates server from the updates sources, click the icon , corresponding to the Parallels Plesk Panel updates server entry, in the S column.
5. Click Add Source and specify the following:
   - Source type. Leave the repomd (xml-rpm-metadata repository) value selected if you are going to receive updates from the vendor's site. To receive updates from a directory on the server's hard disk or from a mounted network share, select the directory (local directory) value.
   - Source URL. Type the URL where the package files are located. For example, `http://download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386`.
   - Source priority. If you use several download sites, you can specify the order in which they should be polled for updates. To do this, specify different level of priority for each of the sources: select a value from the list, or select Custom and type a number from 1 (lowest) to 999 (highest).
   - Authentication. If you need to authenticate at the vendor's site in order to receive updates, select the Authentication check box and specify your user name and password.
6. Click OK.
