I'm updating/tidying a server I've had running for a while: CentOS 6 and Parallels Panel 10.4.4. Alls seems OK but I want to ensure I have the latest OS updates etc. Is there any interplay/incomparability between using the Parallels updater, and using yum update? Yum update seems to suggest a...

My best option at the moment is to change back to Qmail - you can do this using the plesk updater. Seems OK so far. But it would be nice to know what Postfix was doing...

Got a new server, Centos6/Plesk 10.4.4. Noticed Plesk admin was a bit slow, so checked top and discovered that postfix was at 800% CPU :| Nothing in the mail queue, so I have no idea what it's doing! In Plesk > Server > Services management, there are two processes: * SMTP Server (Postfix)...

I said: Well, one down - looking at the watchdog config files, I figured out that there was a PHP error in one of my sites, that broke it when accessing it via IP rather than by domain name. It seems that watchdog is not just checking that the Apache process exists, but checking that the...

Just migrated my Plesk 7.5/FreeBSD 5.3 to a Plesk 8.3/FreeBSD 6.2 environment. Couple of minor things that aren't quite right... * When I do an FTP backup (for a client, in this case), it seems to work fine, but in the FTP Repository tab, under 'Existing backup files', it says 'No existing...

Aha, that makes sense now... thanks for your help, much appreciated. Regards, Matthew

Hi, thanks for the tip - I'm looking into this, it looks useful. Meantime my problem seems to have resolved itself of its own accord. Don't know why but I'm not complaining!

Just setting up domains on Plesk (FreeBSD) and trying to get a secondary DNS server working, without much luck - can anyone help? I think it's a firewall issue. Assume: ns.domain1.com is the primary DNS on this server, using IP 1.1.1.2. I'm setting up domain2.com on there on IP 1.1.1.1 and...
