  • 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.

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    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...

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    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...

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    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...

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    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!

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    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...

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    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!

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

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

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    Just tried that and it took everything down! Had to restart the server manually from the VPS control panel. Now it's all back up. OK, I think the fail2ban thing was a red herring. I've tracked down the exact time things went wrong, and it was about 3.20 am, just when the following updates were...

    Issue Firewall suddenly took Plesk down overnight

    Something very odd happened last night on my server. About 4 am, when nothing was due to run (the backup completed at 1.25 am), all sites went down. I could not log into Plesk, but I did have the CLI. nginx crashed when I tried to restart it, and plesk repair all -y also failed at the stage of...

    Resolved nginx protocol options redefined

    Thanks @trialotto - I wasn't quite clear in how I explained it. As well as all those warnings, I *also* had an nginx error involving setting a directive twice on one domain. It was my mistake, and had nothing to do with all the warnings. But it sounds from what Peter was saying that the warnings...

    Resolved nginx protocol options redefined

    Ah, when you wrote that I realised - at the end of all those warnings was one message that probably caused the error to appear along with all the warnings: a duplicate directive. The red box was around the lot and it was not obvious that the last error was the only one causing the red box. It...

    Just to say, @TobiasP - you're right, I don't use Kolab either.

    Yes, it does seem to remove the error! I will set all my domains to "none" for now.

    I will try this, thank you - and will review all the further replies to this thread for clues. Thanks to others for joining in with your thoughts! It looks like I am not alone with this problem and hopefully a solution will be found.

    Thanks for the tip! But when I type nginx -t I just get a readout of the errors I posted above, i.e. the following two lines for every domain on my server: nginx: [warn] protocol options redefined for 193.33.178.154:443 in /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/domain.com.conf:6 nginx: [warn] protocol...

    Issue After changing root password and Plesk admin passwords, migration fails

    Yeah, just the GUI ones on both source and destination. But I also updated the root password on the destination via the command line - passwd root. After posting this I found I did have a record of all the old passwords in each of these cases, and changed them back, but the problem remains. I...

    Thanks for your reply! Yes, that command you gave me works when I enter it manually on the source server. I get logged in and given a MariaDB [psa]> prompt.

    I've read and tried solutions from various other threads but still getting the problem. Desperate now, I'm asking for help! :) I had a migration script running every 4 hours to copy-content from one Plesk server to another. I know there is a debate about whether this is the right way to do...

    Morning - I am pleased to report I worked out what to do, thanks to your guiding me in the right direction. :D A corrupt table on one of my sites was causing MariaDB to crash every time it was accessed, as you said, and that was every couple of minutes. It restarted immediately of course, but...
