  • 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 Firewall rule to block bots

    This might be a bit more efficient, especially than using Fail2Ban which has to scan quite a few log files at scale (and there is a delay in looking at those). That script looks like it needs exact matches so it would be nice if it supported wildcard bot names.

    Issue Latest 'beta' feature to Plesk to upgrade Mariadb is giving problems

    Indeed, it would be nice if Plesk included this in the GUI MariaDB upgrade workflow.

    Issue Unable to backup WordPress site in Plesk "Backup created with minor issues occurred"

    The first place to start might be to check that the value that you're setting is actually in both places: [mysql] AND in the [mysqldump] sections. Then restart the MySQL or MariaDB service and try again.

    Question Optmized values for MariaDB

    Better question is, has your website back-end performance improved and has the MariaDB IO dropped a bit? It will still be present but writing to disk directly is slower than memory

    Assuming that these are SSD drives, try setting your swapiness to 1 and this time, restart the server.

    Question Optmized values for MariaDB

    Now that you've given MariaDB more memory (disk IO, even with SSDs, can be clogged), by changing swapiness the goal is to lower swap access thrashing and prioritize memory. If you want to experiment without restarts of any kind, try: # sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=1 Hopefully throughout the day...

    Question Optmized values for MariaDB

    If it's an SSD array (or NVMe), try 1 first and then evaluate after a period. Personally I'd shoot for a reboot but you could use sysctl as an alternative.

    Question Optmized values for MariaDB

    Given that you've now given MariaDB more memory and assuming that you have SSDs or faster, try lowering vm.swappiness to a value such as 1 and the evaluate ensure that after you restart, that the value correctly survives the restart: Between the MariaDB changes above and this change, you...

    Resolved Search for files with JPG extension only

    Be very careful as that would effectively remove those files for all domains in that vhosts directory (including any third party CMS plugins that use JPG files).

    Question Fail2Ban issue with Google Sitemaps

    The Plesk CLI documentation page doesn't make any reference to the usage of semicolons versus spaces so what does that mean in the context of mixing IPs with CIDR ranges? For example, does the full Googlebot IP set (with a description) become: # plesk bin ip_ban --add-trusted...

    Question Fail2Ban issue with Google Sitemaps

    Question Issue with Availability of Free Version of Plesk (Plesk Web Admin SE) on Vultr Server Deployment

    Indeed, there are cases that could be made to offer a paid low domain license so if the powers that be at Plesk could see the value in this, it would be a nice way to transition from web admin to something more!

    Issue FTP broken?

    We were able to track this down and as much as we wanted it to be a Plesk or CentOS/AlmaLinux problem, it turns out that it was a security endpoint policy with an HTTPS stream inspection that would cause this behavior. Adding an exception fixed it for FTPS transfers!

    So it's not a port issue as we've disabled iptables and border firewall traffic restrictions. Hopefully this thread gets the attention of a Plesk staff member!
