  • 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.

    How to stop Plesk creating FTP accounts and remove existing FTP accounts

    SSH port 22 might be considered the most dangerous port to leave unprotected. If the bad guys get in that way, especially as root, your server is toast. Some options to consider if you don't have a static IP (and indeed if you DO have a static IP): 1) Change the port number to something else 2)...

    How to stop Plesk creating FTP accounts and remove existing FTP accounts

    Umm...p.s. rather than fiddle around with configuration files that really should not be fiddled with, would it not be better to just close port 21 in the firewall? That will prevent anyone connecting via FTP and won't prevent you using SFTP which uses ssh port 22, although this port should be...

    How to stop Plesk creating FTP accounts and remove existing FTP accounts

    The file should actually be /etc/ftpusers (no .conf or anything) according to the documentation. To my knowledge, it HAS to be that file name. Nothing else. The link Igor posted says that proftpd will read the contents of /etc/ftpusers and will block any users in that file if the line...

    How to stop Plesk creating FTP accounts and remove existing FTP accounts

    Be careful there! Files ending in .rpmsave are backup versions of the actual configuration file being used (usually ending in .conf). What happens is that the original .conf is replaced with a default one, while the original is renamed .rpmsave Conversely, when the original file is NOT...

    CSR "component is missing" after transferring SSL certificate

    Hold on there Steven - you may be looking for a solution to the wrong problem. The error you see in Plesk (CSR missing) is not an error really, it is just a notice. It is shown because the CSR is indeed missing. But just as Abdi says, as far as I'm aware, it is not required in order for a site...

    GB Language for Panel

    I second this: US date format is mm/dd/yyyy UK date format is dd/mm/yyyy I think dd/mm/yyyy is used in most/all of Europe too? Users in the UK (not "England" please ... UK includes Wales, Northern Ireland and, for now, Scotland as well!) would like to see native date formats in the same way...

    VPN: How to edit openvpn.conf on server?

    Maybe you could suggest adding additional configuration directives via http://plesk.uservoice.com ? In the meantime, you have multiple options. Here are some suggestions: 1) Don't use the Plesk VPN module. Remove it, then manually install and configure openvpn (maybe you could copy the config...

    DNS Recursion: allow specific IP range

    You can manually edit named.conf Making modifications to the non domain-specific part of the configuration is mostly safe from unexpected modification by Plesk. Extract: acl "trusted" { 111.222.333.444/24; 444.333.222.0/24; localhost; localnets; }; options { allow-recursion {...

    Mailbox quota issue

    You need to check the quota (both disk space and mailbox space) for the Subscription itself rather than the mailbox. First, check the mailbox quota by selecting the Subscription in Plesk, then click on the Customize button: In the Resources tab, check the Mailbox size setting -- the default...

    Anomolous Parallels Resource Alerts

    The Power Panel is part of Virtuozzo/PCS6, and the situation you are seeing is not at all normal. It is unrelated to Plesk. You should post in the Parallels Cloud Server section of the forum for a better answer, as you will find Virtuozzo/PCS6 users in that part of the forum. I would guess...

    Changing The Static IP

    Nope! There's always something to trip you up, which is why it is important to test and prepare well before the switchover -- and that's exactly what you are doing, so that's great! Anyway, you found that all you need to do is edit the file with a text editor. This problem IP...

    Changing The Static IP

    I didn't know you could do that. Where are the network settings configured in the GUI? I can't find them :-( [ as you can tell, I've never tried to do this through Plesk, so I am probably looking in the wrong place]. Eric: Whichever method you use, remember to change any nameserver glue...

    Changing The Static IP

    I don't know for sure, but I would say that since netmask and gateway etc are changing, you will need to edit the ifcfg-ethX:Y files and the hosts files etc, restart the network to make sure you still have connectivity, then use the plesk reconfigurator ( /usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator ) to...

    Setting Up nameservers outside panel for domains -VPS

    If your nameservers are ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com and at your registrar you pointed them both to 11.22.33.44 (your Plesk server) then: In Plesk, in the DNS settings for example.com you need the following DNS records: ns1.example.com A 11.22.33.44 ns2.example.com A 11.22.33.44...

    Setting Up nameservers outside panel for domains -VPS

    Although in theory you should have more than one IP, DNS will still work fine if you have both your nameservers pointing to the same IP.

    Plesk 11.5 Dns Problem First Time install

    Unfortunately I'm a little confused about what's happening. Maybe if I explain about PTRs and rDNS it will help? The rDNS setting for an IP (i.e. translation from IP to human readable, like 111.222.333.444 -> somehost.ovh.net) is not set in Plesk and is usually not even adjustable by you...

    hosting migration errors help please.

    Neither. It will be the Plesk login password for the Domain Administrator user. This user also existed in older versions of Plesk - they were able to login and adjust certain hosting settings, but not others - basically a different set of options from the full client login. When...

    Problems after migration.

    The quota thing isn't a show-stopper. It just means Plesk won't be able to limit the total amount of disk space the user can write to. You can safely migrate then worry about enabling quotas in one way or another. I don't know if the quota value will be stored anywhere or whether it will be set...

    Problems after migration.

    Putting each domain (old plesk) in its own Subscription (new plesk) is certainly how I would do it, yes. So if a Client (now called "Customer") had more than one domain on old plesk, they will now just have more than one Subscription (each Subscription having one domain). In theory, if you...
