• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

it things that the control panel wants to create a few files but it cant. how ever we checked the permissions and all required permissions are all ready there.

C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/container_locks/session.057f96ad6b8c42bb99661a4770dc0454/service.lock



all the suggestions in the following KB were followed with no success.







Do you have solution for this issue?
 
It could be caused by a missing user psaadm_users for the folder and all the subfolder/files of C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/
  1. Connect to the server via RDP
  2. Open properties of C:/Program Files (x86)/Plesk/var/locks/ folder mentioned in the error and switch to the Security tab.
  3. Add the username psaadm_users with all the permission as allow:
    locks.PNG
  4. Click Ok to save.

Thanks for your reply Peter.
Sadly, all the folders up to C:\ has full control for group psaadm_users.
Any other ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
