Just tried that URL again and now it is working. I won't run the MariaDB upgrade right now in the middle of the working day, but will try it again when I can out of hours. Maybe now it will work...

You're not seeing the error in a browser? That's odd! I am seeing it even when using another device not connected to my WiFi, with no link whatsoever to my Plesk server.

Thanks - that's helpful, and I hope will help others who see this thread having had this issue these last few days. I'll leave up my post here because it has a more specific title than the other one, and thus is easier to find.

Well, the URL is returning an error, and the error is nothing to do with the Plesk server calling it; it's a problem at the MariaDB end. We can see that because the same error is returned outside of Plesk from a browser. So all I'm saying is, given this error has persisted for several days, it...

I'm afraid there IS a problem with the URL shown in the post. It is returning an error: "Oops! Something went wrong, but we're working on it. Please try again later." But it has been doing this for a while now, and it may be time to investigate whether this is going to be fixed by MariaDB or is...

Hi I'm using the "Upgrade now" button within the "Database servers" part of "Tools and Settings" in Plesk to upgrade MariaDB from 10.x to 11.4; however I get the following error at the "Analyzing the package manager configuration" stage: MariaDB download URL...

Oh look. New prices are out today for 2026, and behold, a FURTHER 26% is being chucked on top. This year: £659.81 including VAT (which Plesk also deliberately conceals) Next year: £831.47 That's the biggest increase since 2018 and means the cumulative increase since 2017 has been 285%. How...

Issue 1 on the list you mention was fixed in WordPress 6.8 in May 2025. I reported this to Wordfence yesterday and that particular warning has now gone from the Plesk dashboard for any installations that have been updated.

This seems to have become a recurring theme, and it is not a good one. Plesk has started seriously pressing into price gouging, and I can only imagine it's because switching Web server panels is such a non-trivial thing to do, and they calculate that most people will simply pay up. Today Plesk...

Thank you Manos! I followed your instructions, installed the iptables service (it was not installed) and was able to disable firewalld. Now its status shows as: $ systemctl status firewalld ● firewalld.service Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit firewalld.service is masked.) Active: inactive...

I just tried checking the status of plesk-firewall and firewalld, and got the following output: $ systemctl status plesk-firewall ● plesk-firewall.service - Plesk firewall rules Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plesk-firewall.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active...

Hi Manos - thanks for the heads-up. How would I go about checking whether firewalld is configured in the way you have highlighted, so as to know whether it's safe to disable? Thanks!

Hi again ... another NetworkManager update occurred this morning and once again, all websites went down, just like above. I restarted the firewall and everything was back up. My host advised me to disable NetworkManager and revert to using network-scripts, which I have done, but realising that...

I confess I didn't know about iptables. I used the Firewall from the Plesk interface, and it seemed to work as advertised. What does iptables do, and should I remove it if I'm using the Firewall in the Plesk interface? How would I do that? Thanks!

By "both services", do you mean firewalld and fail2ban?
