Personally I'm running on a Ubuntu server and I'm using a geolocation based on IP to determine beforehand if the connection is allowed. Afterwards the fail2ban will come into play (for SSH and FTP MySQL connections as an example) If it pops up some interests, have a look here : Limit your SSH...

My apologies UFHH01! You are right, however I still could not find the solution ;-) I haven't changed the password at all. I just created 2 new mysql instances on my Ubuntu server, and like Igor mentioned just I added the servers under Tools & Settings -> Database Servers Created a new database...

Hi Igor, I will no problem :) Just a slight little question: I can't get into the current mySQL server as I don't know the 'admin' password. It's not the initial root password from the server. It's not the new root password from the server. So I login using the following in shell: mysql...

However for hardening I'd look into a few other options as well: fail2ban (aditional actions taken against violations *login fails, or custom rules*), mod_security (webserver security), mod_evasive (webserver security) and there are a load more :)

Thanks again Igor! However Plesk does not update MariaDB or Postgresql, so it might be safe to do it. I will just give it a test. Have a great day!

Hi Coyote, if you are not running any DNS service on the server, then you can just block it indeed. IPv6 can be blocked if you are not on a IPv6 enabled network. (Then you won't have any IPv6 neighbours ;-) ) I always block ping

Hi Igor, thanks for the amazing fast response! I think you are right, but it seems that Plesk is unable to setup the new MySQL service on the server. I was wondering if it was possible due to plesk updates etc. I don't want to break anything

Hi Igor, thanks for your reply. However I was more looking for a solution to run multiple instances on the same server but a different port. By your response I assume this issn't supported from Plesk itself? Would I just manually setup different instances for the heavy domains? I have more...

Hi all, I'm running an Ubuntu server with Plesk Onyx for a while now. And due a growth of database transactions the tables of other databases are getting slower. I think this might be solved using a separated MySQL instance per domain? What would be the best approach to get this up and...

I guess I solved it already by creating a seperate config in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/myconfig.conf (out of my head (the extension)) And after restarting the service I got more folders which now seem to sync over multiple clients might be good if you can set such things from plesk itself as well.

I'm guessing that your VPS ip has been reported for spam, did you check spamhouse etc ? You might also need to build-up a reputation... I have the same problem to hotmail, as the ip of my VPS seems to been set as 'spammer'

I think I'm searching for these kind of settings: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings To auto create and subscribe Sent box etc...

Hi all, I installed Dovecot on Plesk 12, and I've setup an email account, which is shared with my partners. The inbox synchronises great, but the Sent mail is not being stored server-side, somehow. And I can't find anything inside plesk for setting up 'save sent mail'. Please not, the users...
