To quickly check the services in use on your VPS, go to aaPanel’s administrator, navigate to AppStore (1) => Installed (2) Here you will know the exact versions. of each service being used.
As in this VPS, the services are currently in the following versions:
- Nginx (version 1.15.10)
- Mysql (Mysqld version 5.6.49)

- phpMyadmin (Version 4.4)
Currently, the versions of the services are old, and newer updates are available now. So we will go to step 2 to upgrade these services.
