  • 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.

    Issue drwebd fails to start on two debian 10/11 servers since last night

    Sadly, I've already had to post several threads on this topic in the last few years - the way Plesk authenticates drwebd seems to be really fragile and ever again causes problems. Would be great if an alternative, robust solution can be implemented. DrWebd was running normally on two servers and...

    Issue drwebd now fails to start on Debian 12

    I didn't get round to contacting support yet - but today, due to problems with drwebd on two other servers, I noticed a new log line when trying to start drwebd on my Debian 12 server: Mar 13 11:58:45 mail.reeves.one drwebd[2870062]: Plesk authorization failed: malformed response (no...

    Issue drwebd now fails to start on Debian 12

    Hello @Sebahat.hadzhi , thanks for your reply. I've again checked my configuration, tried removing the /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/plesk-drweb-local.conf from an earlier fix suggestion, deactivated bind9 (which for strange reasons was needed during the initial config of Plesk, but now seems not to...

    Issue drwebd now fails to start on Debian 12

    Hi all, I still can't get it running )-: Thanks to @Sebahat.hadzhi for adding debian to the article on installing drweb from Plesk repo. I've double-checked everything. The only difference I found to servers where it does work (Debian 11) is that in /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/ssl.conf there are...

    Issue drwebd now fails to start on Debian 12

    Hi @Sebahat.hadzhi thanks for your reply. It would be helpful if your article also contained the way to check which repository was used for apt (not just yum); this looks like this: # apt-cache search drweb # apt-cache policy drweb-daemon > It's installed from Index of /DRWEB_6.0.2.9...

    Issue drwebd now fails to start on Debian 12

    Fail2Ban Jail needed for /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log

    Hey @Kaspar , thanks so much! I have implemented the jail and one IP is now banned by the new jail. Thanks also for your explanation - yes, it's debatable how necessary the jail is, but I just have the gut feeling that whoever is attacking MY Plesk should get stomped on - hard. Which is why I...

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    @JVG Many many thanks for this tip! I'm seldom logged on to a console (my automated scripts tell me if anything needs doing, and an external Zabbix monitoring). So I chose the hammer method: 1. Comment out the line in syslog-ng.conf: log { source(s_src); filter(f_crit); destination(d_console)...

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    1 - LogFileName = syslog 2 - SyslogFacility = Daemon OK, there are two sections in /etc/drweb, [Daemon] and [Updater], and both have exactly those entries. On a server with Debian 11 there is also "OutputMode = Terminal", but I never saw any console output, so I agree that it seems that the...

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

This means that the old log files like syslog, messages, auth.log are no longer used. Instead...

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    I just checked the same file at a Debian 11 server with Plesk (just updated to) 18.0.66, the logging section in drweb_handler.conf is identical, the file is unchanged since Apr 18 2023 (but no problem there).

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    Hi trialotto, nice to hear from you again after yome years! See above - I did just try what you suggested, but to no avail. I've now looked at drweb_handler.conf which contains this section: I suspect Level = Quiet might solve things; but I don't understand what "SyslogFacility = Mail" actually...

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    I've just installed a high-end VPS rented from Strato (Germany), using their "Debian 12 + Plesk" image. It's the latest Plesk 18.0.66. The image had two problems of note: BIND was not selected as a Plesk component, and I didn't add it manually - never needed it before. Turns out, without BIND...
