  • 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.

    Disconnect between postfix (replaced qmail) and spamassassin

    We have a server where the autoinstaller was used to replace qmail with postfix. Since that time, Spam Assassin is running, according to the logs, but the flags on whether something is spam or not are never making it back to postfix or whatever piece is supposed to act on that information. For...

    SFTP on Plesk 10?

    Does the user 'gv' have uid 10000 in both /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/domain/etc/passwd?

    SFTP on Plesk 10?

    This can also be a problem if you migrated a site from one server to another; especially if the architecture or OS version changed; i.e. centos 5 to 6, i386 to x86_64, etc. I've found in many cases the /var/www/vhosts/domain/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server is not replaced with the correct one...

    How to upgrade without triggering sa-learn?

    Is there a variable that can be set so an upgrade from 10 to 11 does not trigger the spam assassin learning process? It causes upgrades to take a very long and unpredictable time on large servers.

    Why is postfix accepting and bouncing over quota accounts instead of rejecting?

    I had time to look through this today. I think you misunderstood what I'm seeing happen. On our Plesk 11 Postfix servers, messages to accounts that are over quota are being accepted from the remote SMTP sending server, then a bounce message sent back to that sender (or to an innocent victim in...

    IP-related database table relations?

    Could someone tell me all the relevant database schema relationships for the IP address-related tables? i.e. IpAddressCollections, IpCollections, IP_Addresses, ip_pool and how they to a given domain and/or customer?

    Why is postfix accepting and bouncing over quota accounts instead of rejecting?

    Postfix with Plesk 11 appears to accept messages for accounts, even if they're over their quota, and then generates a bounce back; as opposed to simply rejecting the message to begin with. This is causing blacklisting issues. What config needs to be changed to prevent this?

    How to go from 10.4 to 11 without upgrading mysql?

    This is going from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9 via the autoinstaller command line tool. When doing an upgrade, it does not give you the normal options screen, it just asks you to confirm you want to upgrade and then goes from there. This occurs typically on CentOS 5 servers running native mysql 5.0. I...

    Send outgoing mail through main server IP, not dedicated IP

    The file should change any time a new site is added on an exclusive IP, but I'm not sure if Plesk will go back through and check for entries that should have been there to put back if they go missing. You could test it by adding a new test domain on an exclusive IP, check, delete it and check...

    Send outgoing mail through main server IP, not dedicated IP

    If you're on qmail, it doesn't support the ip mapping feature so all your outbound mail should already be going from the first IP on the server. If it's postix, you will have that problem and in master.cf you'll have lines like this: 1.2.3.4- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=1.2.3.4...

    How to go from 10.4 to 11 without upgrading mysql?

    For random unknown reasons, about half the time I upgrade a server from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9 the autoinstaller decides to upgrade mysql to Parallels' bundled mysql 5.5 and/or Parallels' bundled Apache with SNI. I don't want either one installed but when you upgrade it doesn't give you the option to...

    Send outgoing mail through main server IP, not dedicated IP

    You can turn that feature off manually by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf and at the bottom of the file you'll see the line binding mail from each IP to that IP. Remove those lines and restart postfix.

    Does enhanced security mode break migration manager?

    The cause of this problem was not having 'Backup Manager' installed on the source server. Apparently when enhanced security mode is in use, some component of backup manager is required for migration manager to correctly copy passwords.

    If your incoming mail has suddenly started failing....

    You'll want to look in two places: /var/qmail/control/spfrules or /etc/psa-spf/spfrules If you don't do any inclusions, just empty that file; i.e. cp /dev/null /etc/psa-spf/spfrules

    Does enhanced security mode break migration manager?

    The error is occurring with the Parallels Migration and Transfer Manager in Plesk, not from a backup I have created using the backup manager. The server in question does not have enough free space to use the backup system since either local or remote involve creating a tar file of the entire...
