That's why I usually tell newbies to the Plesk environment to turn off auto updates. What you're doing is a bit overkill, IMHO. You shouldn't have to that, just wait at lease 4 weeks or stay a full release behind, which is the same as 6 weeks. If you're using a VPS, make a snapshot before the...

Haha, yeah, you’re right, we’ve asked Plesk many times for more control over the update regime, but they simply don’t want to go that way. That’s exactly why I built this, a small, peaceful rebellion that still keeps things stable and predictable for server admins. So, let's do this. I'll...

On second thought, I think it’s something Plesk should handle. It’s not complicated to build, and since all updates come from autoinstall.plesk.com and its mirrors, Plesk would have better control over timing and repository load if they implemented it themselves. Still, it would be great if we...

You might want to correct the time/date of the emails using this script: #!/bin/bash for i in `ls` do # Find the date field and then remove up to the first space (Date: ) DATE=$(grep '^Date:' $i | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1 --complement) # Create a timestamp from the date above...

Yeah, I tried that, but that's a bit too much work ;-)

I wrote a script that keeps my Plesk servers exactly one full release behind. It checks the official RSS feed for new releases and compares it with the installed version. When the server is two full releases behind, it automatically updates to the next one.

Fair point — Sympa definitely has some legacy Perl code in it. But since it’s an open-source project (https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa), maybe that’s actually a good opportunity for experienced Perl developers like you to help modernize it. Your 20+ years of Perl experience could make a...

I don’t quite understand why Mailman is still being used, considering it’s quite outdated. There are more modern alternatives available, such as Sympa - Mailing List Management Software - Sympa

Did you see this? "You can still get Plesk Support if your license does not include Plesk support. It's free for the first month. Just follow the link to the store and don't forget to cancel it when the issue has been solved."

I suggest that you contact the Plesk Support Team: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12388090147095-How-to-get-support-directly-from-Plesk You can still get Plesk Support if your license does not include Plesk support. It's free for the first month. Just follow the link to the store...

Thank you for the detailed response and clarification regarding the positions of NGINX and PHP developers. However, my main point was not addressed: the WordPress ticket (#34353) has been open for 9 years, and the issue lies in how WordPress handles $http_host. Given that WordPress is one of...

This is a well-known issue that has been discussed frequently on the forum. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a solution will be available in the near future. Hopefully, Plesk will consider addressing this at some point, as it's been a recurring request for quite some time.

The Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Schedule page is where you define what should be included in the backup.

This is what I get from Plesk Support, no real solution, only telling "this is not a Plesk problem" and "you don't have to use WP + Nginx": --- After reviewing the situation, I would like to clarify why Plesk will not be addressing this issue directly. Here are a few key points to consider...

You get this error message because the outgoing mail server is refusing to relay your email. This typically happens when authentication is not set up. To fix this, configure the program to authenticate on the outgoing mail server by providing the email address and password associated with the...
