Good news, I was wrong! > However, this would wipe out any permissions that were manually set via the GUI, so is not a viable workaround. repair.exe doesn't wipe out permissions that were manually set via the GUI. It grants permissions set in %plesk_dir%\etc\hosting_template.xml then applies...

I did request they fix it in the support ticket. They suggested I submit a feature request, which seems a bit futile in the circumstances.

I submitted a support request. They said the functionality to alter specific permissions was removed in Plesk 12. The only way to set permissions via CLI is to alter %plesk_dir%\etc\hosting_security.xml and reapply the template with repair.exe. However, this would wipe out any permissions...

Hi Igor HostingSecurity.exe is part of our workflow for new sites so this is really holding us up now. Please can we have a solution? We could pay for a support incident but it doesn't seem fair really if the problem is out-of-date documentation. I have tried to work it out but without...

Thanks Igor, that would be great. I wonder why documentation for hostingsecurity.exe gets left behind? I'm sure a lot of people use it because its so useful - I mean who wants to manually set permissions every time you create a new site? I left a comment on the documentation here 3 months ago...

How can I apply a security template is Plesk 12? In plesk 11, the following command worked... "%plesk_bin%\HostingSecurity.exe" --update-domain-security "--vhost-name=domain.co.uk" "--add-template=C:\plesk-security-templates\my-template.xml" "--user-name=domainuser" ...but in Plesk 12 it...

I was using backup & restore to migrate from a Plesk 11 server to a new Plesk 12 server. Migrate and upgrade in one go was asking for trouble. In the end I migrated to another 11 server, and the backup/restore worked. Before doing so, I increased the service plan limits so none were exceeded...

As this is a windows server, the extensions are enabled using... extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll I can confirm that these extensions are already enabled. If they weren't then Wordpress would not have worked when it was installed manually. Why is Plesk failing to detect that...

Running Plesk 12.0.18 on Windows 2012 I create a new domain then use Plesk Applications tab to install Wordpress. It shows the message: Error: Unable to install the app because its installation requirements are not met. Contact your hosting provider to resolve this problem. Requirements PHP...

After a server migration, some critical Plesk settings were not copied across, even though the option to backup/restore panel configuration was used. e.g. skeleton (vhosts\.skel folder) php.ini (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5* folder) Default site (vhosts\default...

There are no other drives, just C The server is running Windows 2012, so Windows Explorer has 'This PC' instead of 'My Computer'. On the Quota tab, 'Enable Quota Management' is checked, 'Deny disk space to users exceeding quota' is checked, 'Do not limit disk usage' is selected. Clicking the...

When restoring a backup on Plesk 12, the error below is generated for some sites and the sites are only partially restored. Although the message talks about disk space, there is in fact plenty of free disk space - i.e. many GB. The backup was created on Plesk 11.5. The restore on Plesk 11.5...

Thanks for your suggestion, but the 'Suspend domains..' option cannot be used in this case because downtime is not acceptable. Also, the script must run after the backup has completed, not for each domain. The Event Manager would be a good solution if there was a 'Backup Completed' event...

Hi Is there a way to run an additional task after the scheduled backup has completed? I this case, I want to copy the backup off-site. I can't use FTP, otherwise I'd use the built-in 'Personal FTP Repository' feature. (See Rsync, Amazon S3, Rackspace cloud files, etc) I could just create a...

This error is happening again with exactly the same error message as before. The windows firewall has an outbound rule opening port 5224 for TCP. There is a similar error happening with Wordpress plugin auto-installs: In this case the URL of the file being downloaded is...
