  • 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.

    Shell access is somehow granted to 2 plesk users

    I just added a Linux user and checked the contents of /etc/passwd by issuing It's to find out which users have shell access. grep ':/bin/.*sh$' /etc/passwd It showed me 2 user accounts that had shell access. These 2 users (like many others) have been migrated several times and are Plesk...

    Error in last update + backup not work

    Did a more general solution emerge after this? I upgraded a 10.5 Plesk to 11.5 last month and just noticed it hasn't been doing backups since. I would like to have this solved... Do I need to call in support?

    Too much imap IO makes server unresponsive... find the culprit

    When I first experienced an unresponsive server due to an over zealous Apple IMAP-client I found and used this python script. http://www.patlathem.com/identifying-courier-imap-io-abusers/ This python-script is like iotop, but it focuses on imap and shows the user that's hogging down your...

    spammers using authentication

    Lately I'm having several breaches and 5 accounts have been compromised. They didn't have strong passwords, so I changed these. One of these accounts however was using an account where the e-mail address is different than its account. I'm normally not using these setups, but this one made...

    CLI change DNS

    Here's another script regarding DNS to check if there are domains left behind or there's a difference between the authorative nameservers. # cat /usr/local/sbin/dnsconfigcheck #!/bin/bash # Author: JP van Melis ZONEFILE="$1" NAMED_CONF=/etc/named.conf CACHING_DNS=8.8.8.8 ZONES=`mktemp`...

    CLI change DNS

    For anyone who's interested I'm running Plesk for many clients that don't know what DNS is, so I'm more or less in charge. During a migration the TTL is changed and the SOA-records probably as well. Later all this is forgotten and stays unnecessarily at a too low value. With 1 command I can...

    CLI change DNS

    Ah, of course... That works and already wrote a little script and removed all the obsolete records. Thanks

    CLI change DNS

    Your efforts are appreciated, but that doesn't work. I didn't use a trailing dot in my example, btw. I just tried all the different combinations. Could you give a working example for domain.com ? Is there now work being done by the development team to make this more robust?

    Wordpress change URL

    Thanks for your response... But this is only Wordpress.... I'm talking about Wordpress installed as an application within Plesk. I don't believe I can just go through that procedure whilst keeping Plesk's control over it. I know I can do it like this and get a working site, but Plesk...

    CLI change DNS

    Very much appreciated. I feel somewhat uneasy with MySQL. Would you know the command to remove all SRV-records containing imap in the database...?

    CLI change DNS

    I would like to change DNS-records from the CLI because it is too much work to go through all the different domains and changing them using a GUI I found this page, but there aren't that many examples given. It's rather ambiguous what I have to put there or it's just not working... I don't...

    Passwords are not PLAIN anymore in Plesk 11?

    Come on Igor! It is plain to see that this is "security through obscurity" I have root access to this server and there's no need to hide these passwords for a root user. If these passwords are encrypted using a private key owned by Parallels, well ok... These passwords can be decrypted by the...

    Wordpress change URL

    Up until this moment I didn't try anything On initial application install I did a default Wordpress installation which means the site is placed on the Internet as 'http://domain.com/wordpress/' Clients now really want this changed to 'http://domain.com/' How can I do this whilst pertaining a...

    Imap connection issues

    I wanted to prove you wrong because I was rather thorough in my tests. It turned out you are right. I do know now what happened... That server never restarted. I patched these 2 files and merely invoked "/etc/init.d/courier-imapd stop && /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d stop" and...

    Imap connection issues

    EDIT: some conclusions in this post turned out to be incorrect... Read on!! It is similar, but it's not the same. Because I was aware of this ludicrous setting in Plesk for imap and pop3 I patch my Plesk servers before they go into production. I recently (3 months ago) installed a new...

    Plesk 11.5.3 migration makes an error with applications (at least wordpress)

    I have migrated several domains from a 10.4.4 server to a 11.5.3 server. Some of these domains have applications. When you create a Wordpress application in Plesk it will automatically choose the name for the database. When you migrate a domain and this domain already has a database with...
