I have a script running some 4 years which removes a TXT-record and then adds a new one. It used the syntax: /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --del ${DOMAIN} -txt '' -domain ${SUBDOMAIN} Notice the double single quotes. I never gave it the TXT-value, but still the record was removed. I never tested if...

I'm externally monitoring the actual expiry date for each domain on my different Plesk servers. Whenever the expiry date is less than 10 days, I will get a warning on my dashboard that a certificate is about to expire. Normally and for years nothing comes in that dashboard for domains I have...

This morning all websites on 1 server stopped working. Thanks to monitoring software (zabbix) I knew that this was because of an invalid nginx-config (which tests the output of "nginx -t") nginx -t gave me: For years I have a file /etc/nginx/conf.d/aa400_own_tweaks.conf which contains among...

In the changelog of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.24 it says that Plesk from that moment on does not support DNS-records with an underscore character. Luckily this is NOT true. I have many CNAMES with an underscore, typically DKIM-records. What STILL is not possible are NS-records with an underscore. I...

User name: mr-wolf TITLE Unable to create NS records with underscores PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE Plesk Obsidian PROBLEM DESCRIPTION I need to create an NS-record with Plesk with the name _acme-challenge This is not allowed by the interface nor the CLI...

I have, for years, chosen to have DNS on a seperate Plesk server instead of the servers on which the domains of my clients are configured. This gives me several advantages, but also disadvantages. When Plesk implemented support for wildcard certificates I noticed that I suddenly had to create...

Plesk really likes to have smtpd_timeout = 3600s and smtpd_proxy_timeout = 3600s in its /etc/postfix/main.cf I don't, so I have both these entries commented out. The reason for this is that I have Postfix protected with an SMTP-proxy (ASSP). Whenever spam comes in it will, in real time, break...

I just had a challenge missed because I didn't fully select the TXT-record... With all the amount of space I have available to me, the record is still cut in 2 and it's easy to miss the first part. In this case a simple dash It will probably never happen to me anymore, but I don't like bad...

For years now I've been using the "new" Plesk migration which makes it possible to resync and migrate several domains at once. I renew servers every 3 years and have been using that migration since its adoption and I love it a lot. I see it as the best improvement in Plesk this decade. This...

I recently installed a new Plesk Obsidian server and started to migrate clients to this new server. One of those clients called me and told me that her Outlook was not working. It of course had to be related to that migration, but she wasn't the first to be migrated there and others were working...

I have a Plesk server which I use as authoritative server for all my clients. On my other Plesk servers I have not installed the DNS-option of Plesk. The advantage of this is that I have all DNS in one place which also allows me to do some creative things. On that server, ns6.<mydomain>, I have...

I have noticed this several times when I add a new subscription. The Roundcube-webmail doesn't work after that. I will get a Plesk-page. A "plex repair web <domain> -y -v" does not fix it either. A "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" however DOES fix it. It's an annoyance only, but something that...

Several years I created a script to check the domains for which I'm running authoritative DNS. This includes checking the IP's in "allow-transfer" for each domain to see if they can successfully resolve the A-record. It's been a while that I ran this script. I have 1 Plesk-server dedicated to...

One of our clients had a full mailbox. I decided to increase the default mailbox size of that subscription from 12 GB to 15 GB. I did this quite often in the past. After increasing the size in "subscription" I always check the mailbox account again and the "red bars" that were there before...

I set 2 servers to "early adopters" and almost immediately I was offered an update. This was a few days ago. Because these upgrades went well I decided to change the setting of 2 other servers, but nothing happened. This was yesterday. I decided to wait another day, but today is still the same...
