    Resolved Force Plesk to use port 25 alternative (Digital Ocean refuses to open 25)

    There are numerous threads on this topic. I haven't found a way to force Plesk to use port 587. In the mail server settings, when I enable port 587, upon sending tests with Roundcube, the maillog indicates port 25 is still being used. Mar 21 18:25:41 my-server postfix/smtp[99165]: connect to...

    Question Exclude files from backup (.ssh, directories above httpdocs/)

    Though it's minor, the daily warnings / log errors about Plesk not being able to backup .ssh files is a nuisance. Since the .ssh dir is /var/www/vhosts/example.com/.ssh (that is, above httpdocs/), what syntax, if any, works for configuring Plesk to skip that dir? Constant error is: Unable to...

    Question Security: curl CVE-2023-38545, CVE-2023-38546

    Are the October 2023 curl vulnerabilities something that would have any root within Plesk, or would those best be handled by an OS (Ubuntu in my case) update? https://github.com/curl/curl/discussions/12026

    Issue Backup utility and "Failed to copy files" error about .ssh keys

    I've noticed some, not all, of my Plesk servers throw an error in the Backup log, such as what I show below. I think it's harmless: essential files are backed up as expected. But the .ssh warning is troublesome because there will be days and days of them shown in the Plesk interface. Any ideas...

    Question Plesk: Encrypt Data At Rest?

    My Ubuntu server runs MariadB 10.6. Based on this old thread about encrypting data at rest (2018), it would seem a Plesk domain could have MariaDB at rest encryption enabled... and everything is fine. Is this correct? I don't even know how to enable encryption for a MariaDB database: I've even...

    Question What would happen if I turned off/removed SMTP entirely in Plesk?

    Most of my client domains either a) send PHP email from a contact form, or b) use a Transactional Service like Postmark to deliver email. My server has no active email accounts. Am I ok to turn off/remove SMTP completely? Would it have any repercussions I'm not thinking of? I assume the...

    Question Backups enabled by default for subscription?

    I've historically turned on backups for domains piecemeal. But could I modify a subscription such that a Scheduled Backup configuration is enabled by default? E.g. "backup all files, daily, store 1 day"?

    Question Turn off PHP warnings from Command Line?

    Question General Question about Incremental domain backups: how to restore?

    I backup server domains from our host to a local drive. Historically I've just run rsync for full backups, not incremental. But I'd like to cut down on the daily bandwidth usage for download Full backups. If I have a collection of incremental Plesk domain backups, how easy is it to collect...

    Question Native command line `site` command does not correctly report disk space usage of backups

    I'm not sure why the site command does not report the proper disk usage of a backup. Example: /usr/local/psa/bin/site -i example.com | grep "Total size of backup files in local storage" Total size of backup files in local storage:0 B Whereas, a standard UNIX command reports the proper...

    Problem: Forum Loses Cookies?

    For whatever reason, on Safari/Chrome, I can sometimes login to the forum, sometimes not.

    Issue Remove old warnings (Apache/server configuration warnings)

    It's Wednesday, and Plesk is still showing Tuesday warnings. Running 'http -t' doesn't report current errors. Will these errors remove themselves after a particular duration?

    Question Turn off DNS Server (BIND)?

    No crisis here, I was just curious if there is a clear explanation on when it is necessary to run DNS/Bind on a Plesk server. If a server hosts 30 domains, and all (via whois lookup) use their own DNS, whether it's GoDaddy or Network Solutions, is there any reason to use Plesk's DNS Service...
