  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

    Question What would happen if I turned off/removed SMTP entirely in Plesk?

    Most of my client domains either a) send PHP email from a contact form, or b) use a Transactional Service like Postmark to deliver email. My server has no active email accounts. Am I ok to turn off/remove SMTP completely? Would it have any repercussions I'm not thinking of? I assume the...

    Question Backups enabled by default for subscription?

    I've historically turned on backups for domains piecemeal. But could I modify a subscription such that a Scheduled Backup configuration is enabled by default? E.g. "backup all files, daily, store 1 day"?

    Question Native command line `site` command does not correctly report disk space usage of backups

    Any updates on this? This CLI command is very useful; it's a shame it stopped working.

    Question Turn off PHP warnings from Command Line?

    This is probably a Centos Question, but I've noticed more verbose warning output since upgrading a site to PHP 8.1, e.g. -bash-4.2$ php myscript.php The following error occurred: E_DEPRECATED: explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($string) of type string is deprecated Centos Version...

    Question General Question about Incremental domain backups: how to restore?

    (I should mention: my starting point would likely be from my offsite backup, independent of Plesk) If Plesk can import/upload incremental files, even better.

    Question General Question about Incremental domain backups: how to restore?

    Thanks! Specifially, armed just with those files, how would I restore those back to Plesk? With the FullBackups, I was pretty low-tech. I would download the large compressed tarball, and get what I needed. But that was pretty easy with one big file. How does it work with incremental? Is...

    Question General Question about Incremental domain backups: how to restore?

    I backup server domains from our host to a local drive. Historically I've just run rsync for full backups, not incremental. But I'd like to cut down on the daily bandwidth usage for download Full backups. If I have a collection of incremental Plesk domain backups, how easy is it to collect...

    Question Native command line `site` command does not correctly report disk space usage of backups

    I'm not sure why the site command does not report the proper disk usage of a backup. Example: /usr/local/psa/bin/site -i example.com | grep "Total size of backup files in local storage" Total size of backup files in local storage:0 B Whereas, a standard UNIX command reports the proper...

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    I think I need to eat crow. I re-attached my backup to another Linode, and sure enough, I got a Y/N prompt. So that's hard to argue! Probably didn't have the best memory of the specifics due to the stress of the moment. However, there are lots of routine "Y/N" prompts from known familiar...

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    @john0001 Ah, I can see what you mean. My terminal paste does imply a "Y/N" selection, but as @Denis Gomes Franco shows, it doesn't actually give the user a prompt. It goes rogue and assumes a "yes" input. Good eye!

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    Perhaps the terminal pasting context implies a prompt: I assure you there was none. Simply "apt-get install mytop", followed by the return key. No other prompt or user input offered.

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    That's the rub. There was no Y/N prompt. The only command issued was: apt-get install mytop And next thing I know: broken server. Not to over-toot my horn; but I've managed Linux/Plesk servers for 15 years, installing countless packages with Ubuntu and CentOS. Never have I bricked a Plesk...

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    I expect "rm -rf /" to delete everything on my root partition. I expect "apt-get remove apache2" to remove apache2. I don't, however "apt-get install mytop" to do anything besides installing mytop, or complain about failed dependencies. It's hard to classify "apt-get install XYZ" in the...

    Question Catastrophic apt-get install removes Plesk??

    While the logic of that makes sense, it remains unsettling that a system can be rendered useless by an innocent apm-get install. Took down an entire website/server of a large customer today.

    Question MySQL: Constant 'Access Denied' messages in mysql log

    Running Obsidian 18.0.35 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. I'm noticing constant rows in the log: [Warning] Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) It may not be a Plesk thing at all. It just stood out to me, particularly the lack of username. Not really sure how to get at this with...
