It's not easy to get an idea what someone knows. I assumed you didn't know how virtual hosting works. This doesn't mean there's any need to free that IP. I have several "apps" running on my server and these all run through nginx. You need to tell your app to run on localhost on some exotic...

There is no need to run 2 services for hosting 2 sites. I run hundreds of domains on 1 IP. You can tell Plesk which one of the IP's it should use for each domain. If the browser asks for "client.domain.com", Apache will provide the content of /var/www/vhosts/client.domain.com/httpdocs If the...

I don't have this from Wikipedia. Just looked it up for you as an easy referral. I knew this long before Wikipedia existed. It even "comes back" on the consensus somewhat that it is "not done". But that is of course an opinion. You may not see this as "help". But an easy recipe published here...

The funny part is that I don't have "gigs of logfiles" and am not getting bombarded because I took the time to put some real security in place. Something you don't feel the need of doing because you resorted to "security through obscurity" as an easy way out. And if you know all this so good...

Maybe you should buy other books... Read this first: Security through obscurity - Wikipedia One sentence is pivotal: "recommends the usage of security through obscurity as a complementary part of a resilient and secure computing environment" The problem is that it is rarely used as a...

That's "security through obscurity" Who decided that's "good security practice"? You did?

hopefully.... That's very very bad practice and those mail programs should change that propose a name without a domain.

After enabling the wildcard support I tested this on a server and got this error Error: Could not issue a Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate Remove DNS record failure: DNS service is not enabled I don't know (yet) if I can revert this by disabling wildcard-support, but if NOT I will have a huge...

TITLE: LetsEncrypt extension is suddenly reliant on DNS feature which is not enabled on my servers PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE: Plesk 17.8 / Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: I have enabled wildcard certificates per this tutorial by editing...

I used "tar" to extract the tgz in /var/lib/psa/dumps/ by hand and restored the files with their original dates and eliminated the above mess the "plesk restore" made: -rw-r--r-- 1 ****** psacln 294 Sep 28 2016 robots.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 ****** psacln 418 Sep 28 2016 index.php -rw-r--r--...

Today I restored a back-up for a client and noticed that this bug is still not fixed. I don't know how exactly plesk restores these sites, but somewhere in the process (I think during restore) it loses the IMHO valuable information of the last modified date of all the files. I have reported...

I haven't been busy with Plesk lately, which is a good thing really. I've been on holiday and didn't have to take a look at any server. Today I noticed that the whole WordPress plugin has been overhauled and I'm liking what I see. I just don't know why some of the domains have an option to turn...

No, Plesk is not a suspect. But I assume Plesk upgraded some packages. Maybe it's xinetd ? What happened that it needed the IPv6 changed to IPv4? Having no ipv6 at all I found it strange it was always in there and working. I'm going on holiday and today I'm rounding up everything... It will...

That bug seems to be tied to usage with SSL. Mine are plain FTP's. With such an old protocol one would think there are no implementation problems of this kind.

For more than a year I'm backing up 3CX configs to a Plesk server which started to fail recently It was since I upgraded from 17.5 to 17.8 I'm using Passive FTP which is working fine when using a normal FTP-client. Plesk's tutorials even took over my way of changing the config to allow passive...

Maybe that's an additional front-end? I wouldn't know as I always remove the Plesk firewall from components.

I recently installed a new server upon which I enabled "Social Login". The server is already taken into production because I needed to relieve another one. I am now starting to have mixed feelings about this and thinking of removing it. At least I want to disable the Facebook option. Am I...

iptables It's in Plesk components, not extensions. Where you decide to have dovecot or courier, install PHP-versions.... It leaves you with an empty iptables. What I do on a "maiden plesk setup" is use "iptables-save' to have a backup of the current firewall. Then study the file if there are...

I don't either, but it's merely a gut feeling. Because I never trusted it I don't have any experience with it either, so I was seeking some advice from some who have. Maybe I should even stay with Ubuntu 16 LTS. 3 years left on that and they also would be the same as a few other servers. All...

I have just rented a new server at Strato and it turns out they are not yet ready with their installation scripts for this newer LTS. Never on a production server have I done a major upgrade in the past. I always preferred to setup a complete new server and move away the sites from the old to...
