Hello. I'm in need of changing my backup configuration and I have been trying to set up the Amazon S3 extension to store backups on Backblaze B2 now that they have an S3-compatible API. Thing is, when it comes to the path field, it seems that I can only use a root directory, eg 'backups' and not...

Is it possible to make the Diskspace Usage Viewer extension ignore certain paths? That's because I'm using S3FS to mount an S3-compatible storage to my servers to use it as a backup destination (under /mnt/backups) so files stored there always show up as the largest in the extension's UI. And...

I bought the Cgroups extension in order to monitor and limit CPU and RAM consumption per subscription. It's a nice feature, saved me from some headaches already. Today there was nothing unusual going on but why is Advanced Monitoring reporting that one subscription's CPU usage jumped to 60...

Almost a year ago I posted this: Input - Making hotlink optional in Wordpress websites TL;DR: If hotlinking protection (which is highly recommended by the toolkit) is enabled, then Woocommerce's transactional emails won't show the store logo when viewed by the customer. So today I was...

So I just wanted to record in writing what I've been through for the past few hours today with Plesk Obsidian. I immediately started shaking when I realized what just happened. Maybe writing about it can calm me down a little bit, and prevent others from making the same mistakes as I did. And I...

Hello everyone. I need some help in identifying periodic extremely high usage in one of my servers (however, I have two and the same issue happens on the other as well). From time to time CPU and memory usage goes through the roof: That Grafana log is for the past 24 hours, note that it...

Hello. Here's something that happened today with one of my customers. His website uses two domains, a main one and an alias domain. The Let's Encrypt certificate was valid until nov 29th and didn't renew because the alias domain (and not the main domain) expired due to non payment. I understand...

I know this is *not* an issue with Toolkit itself, and I'll also post a workaround on my own question so that others with the same issue can see the solution, but I think I'll post this here like a feedback of sorts. So here's the situation I sometimes face when working on website redesign...

Hey everyone, not sure if I should post this under Resources or another thread - admins, feel free to move this post wherever it's more appropriate. I would like to just write down my experiences on using external DNS services. It's been quite an adventure and I would like to share it with the...

Hey. I got Litespeed server running on my servers and quite a few times I get this error: Unable to generate the web server configuration file on the host <xxx> because of the following errors: Template_Exception: Can not restart web server: Apache is down, start it instead of graceful httpd...

I am currently doing server backups via daily snapshots of the hard disk, instead of using Plesk's backup function as I did previously. In case of a failure I can then clone that snapshot to a whole new server and keep on going, or I can mount that snapshot as a secondary disk onto an existing...

So here's the thing: if i open the Security page under Wordpress I can see the security status of all my websites and I can quickly apply all the recommended security settings to all websites - and that includes hotlinking protection. While I understand the importance of this protection, this...

My servers are currently set up to run a daily backup of the full system and save to a directory that's connected to S3 storage via S3FUSE. Everything runs very smoothly but there were some days were things got wonky. Plesk is configured to store only the last 7 backups, and a situation has come...

Hey everyone, Long story short..... I run a web design agency that also hosts customers websites and online stores we develop using Wordpress and Woocommerce. We use Sendgrid as a transactional email solution, and an SMTP plugin set up to use our own Sendgrid account. Sometimes a customer that...

I'd like to share a quick and dirty hack that I used to brand my customers' Roundcube interface (now that it is running on v1.4) with their own logos. It was a fun little project and they absolutely loved it. With this, the customer will see their own logo on the login page and on the top left...

User name: Denis Gomes Franco TITLE Cannot mark messages as 'not spam' PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.26 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Messages are being flagged as spam and moved to the spam folder accordingly (I'm using Plesk Email Security...

A while ago I was using the Backup to Cloud Pro extension to back up my servers to Microsoft OneDrive, but one issue I had was that the server had to have lots of free space, eg., if the largest account uses 30 GB then the server had to have about 50-60 GB or it wouldn't complete the backup...

I found out about the Plesk Email Security extension a while ago and decided to give it a try. It's a nice way to configure server-wide spam settings, I was getting tired of setting it up on a per-mailbox basis. Then I saw that some features like Bayes training and "Daily updates of the...

I just fired up a new server, installed Plesk, updated to the latest Obsidian release and now I'm setting things up. But I can't install the ServerShield extension: After hitting Continue, it says: Even by selecting *other* extensions to install together with ServerShield, the installer only...

I decided to post this article to document my "journey" on fixing this problem that I had with a specific customer. Also, this might serve as feedback to the developers and, I hope, to help someone with the same issues. So here's the situation. This customer purchased a .com domain via a...
