Syntax was OK Looking through my ModSecurity config files, I see nothing. Digging deeper, I found it was Valkey that was crashing out, taking down websites. Correcting it solved the problem. It was odd that it happened just after updating ModSecurity.

This is the email I was getting from my Plesk Server. Unable to generate the web server configuration file on the host <xxxxxxxxx> because of the following errors: Template_Exception: [Wed Jul 08 01:50:40.126492 2026] [so:warn] [pid 9219:tid 140353719643840] AH01574: module unique_id_module is...

A bunch of my Joomla websites went down after today's ModSecurity update. Disabling it brought the sites back up; turning it back on seemed to reset something and is working. New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: [Wed...

During session resumption in crypto/TLS, if the underlying Config has its ClientCAs or RootCAs fields mutated between the initial handshake and the resumed handshake, the resumed handshake may succeed when it should have failed. This may happen when a user calls Config. Clone and mutates the...

Was considering moving to Digital Ocean Spaces for backup, and discovered a core feature that should be part of Plesk is a "Premium" feature that requires a $5/month payment, which is the cost of Digital Ocean Spaces itself! I'm at the point where I'm going to spend $5.00 on Claude code to vibe...

AI is here; it's time to harness its power to create a new web hosting control panel. This kind of client treatment is completely bonkers.

Problem When hosting modern PHP applications (such as Mautic, Laravel, Symfony, or Composer-based projects) as Plesk subdomains, the current backup system creates a critical gap in disaster recovery capabilities. Current Behavior: Plesk subdomain backups only include the document root...

High prices hurt Plesk by alienating the very users who helped it gain popularity—small hosting providers, freelancers, and developers—many of whom are now turning to cheaper or free alternatives like CyberPanel or Webmin. The steep licensing costs make Plesk difficult to justify, especially...

I think Plesk is raising its rates because it knows the future of the web is AI and that websites of the future will be food for AI answer engines, which won't need hosting control panels and sophisticated websites that never get visited. I can see GeoCities making a comeback, supported by Big...

I fixed it by creating a custom nginx.conf for the domain, and making the file immutable so Plesk can't overwrite it. Magento is working incredibly well now; page load times are wicked fast.

I'm in Magento 2.4 / Nginx hell too. You need to set it to the root to the /pub directory for Magento security. The problem with Nginx is the inability to modify the server root Location ~/ setting to allow Magento's router to rewrite URLs correctly. I'm currently looking for a method to...

To get back to the operational level, I had to modify the /etc/msmtprc I had to hard-set these values. (Which should be available in the Plesk Panel under settings!! ) from email allow_from_override on domain For my login script, I had to modify it to: For Plesk Notifications coming from...

Everything has been working great until the latest update. I've verified the email account settings using a desktop client and re-entered the details into Plesk. All Plesk emails should be coming from [email protected], but now they are being sent from [email protected], and when...

The Plesk Upgrade for MariaDB didn't function properly because of two tables with 0 Autodata integers. I had to use the manual method. After upgrading, PHPMyAdmin stopped working for all users due to a permission issue with the pma__tracking. After two hours of troubleshooting, I found a...

Thanks, but that defeats the purpose of using Cloudflare security to protect the server IP. Hope to see a future upgrade.
