  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

    Question How do I directly change the DNS entries under Plesk?

    Late reply to this but in case it helps others: When moving servers I just update the plesk dns_recs table records directly with SQL to a 180 second TTLs a few days out, migrate all the sites, and then have an hour outage window where I re-sync all the sites and map all the new IP addresses...

    Issue Latest 'beta' feature to Plesk to upgrade Mariadb is giving problems

    I feel this should be flagged for checking during install as when I was setting up a new server with a fresh Almalinux 9.4: if you install MariaDB 10.11 and then install Plesk w/ SELinux checked none of the Wordpress sites can connect. I was at a complete loss for a bit until I turned on DEBUG...

    Resolved Date restored file

    Hi I have the same issue Why does Plesk restore files with the restore timestamps when the tar already has the original timestamps!? It seems absurd to extract the tar files manually to fix this but it may be something I have to do.

    Question PHP 5.2 on Almalinux 8 (moving from CentOS 7)

    Thanks this may come in handy! I also looked into phpbrew but for 5.2 specifically that was even more of a headache to get working so I abandoned it.

    Question PHP 5.2 on Almalinux 8 (moving from CentOS 7)

    Hi all, CentOS7 still came with Plesk supporting PHP 5.2 - I have one ancient site I'm still supporting that requires it to run. I did finally get PHP 5.2.17 to work in Almalinux 8.9/Plesk but it was a lot of work! I had to use an earlier version of OpenSSL (1.0.2k), backports, libxml2-2.9...

    Issue High CPU usage and Swap full despite have RAM avalible

    - Increase Swap to 13GB (I have 32GB and this has worked for me, use is normally <3GB) - Check your swappiness value cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness I set mine to 10 - Your swap being entirely used up is a HUGE problem and if I were to guess I'd say it is bottlenecking within MariaDB/Mysql. Run...

    Issue Plesk 18.0.30 do not do automatic clean up of the backups

    Did you find a fix for this? I've yet to implement this on my server and it will be a problem if it is still as you describe

    Issue Wordpress Toolkit - Cloning - I/O Performance tweaking

    Hi, Cloning on an SSD/NVMe drive works without issue - cloning even relatively small sites (<5GB) sends CPU load through the roof. Looking at the process, it runs fileTransfer as so: fileTransfer -run-type client -transfer-type std-pipes -target-path /var/www/vhosts/xxxx -writers-count 8...

    Issue Plesk 18.0.39 / WPT 5.7.4-5606 - Cloning doesn't set proper PHP handler

    Centos 7 / PHP 7.3.31 Source is set to "FPM application served by nginx" Clone ended up being "FPM application served by Apache" and I had to change it manually. All the other settings were copied just fine though.

    Question [PPPM-6333] Does Obsidian restore websites with correct dates

    Check my update above - it's only partially fixed :( There is a MUCH faster way to do vs your last step with the copy - use this python script: Save this as /root/timesync.py #!/usr/bin/python import os import sys for directory,subdirs,files in os.walk('.'): pathes=subdirs+files for...

    Question [PPPM-6333] Does Obsidian restore websites with correct dates

    It is JUNE 2021 - how is this STILL not fixed?! I spoke too soon - /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/sw-tar - which extracts the files - actually DOES preserve the timestamps! However, it appears the ENTIRE site is extracted first with the current time ...and so far I see some of the timestamps being...

    Input Cloning scheduling

    Combo of CPU and IOWait. WP Toolkit uses FileTransfer library @ /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/library/FileTransfer - is that just a wrap on rsync? I suppose I could set up a cron to check for those processes and renice/ionice them when they appear and see what happens. It's too...

    Input Cloning scheduling

    Hi, It would be great if there was a scheduling functionality where you could set a time when the feature is available. As it stands, when cloning certain huge sites on the box, it brings everything to a crawl. To mitigate, I've let customers know that the feature is only available from...
