• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

8.0 to 8.2 Upgrade Failure - cannot connect to MySQL

I have Plesk running on FC2. I went to Updater and click "install" for the default-checked items to upgrade from 8.0 or 8.1 (not sure). I received the log of the upgrade via email. Subject line: "Plesk autoupdate success report." However, now when I go to any of the websites on that server, I get a SiteBuilder dialog instead of the actual website. When I attempt to access Plesk (via browser), I get the following message:

ERROR: PleskFatalException
Components::componentUpdate() failed: Unable to exec utility packagemng: packagemng: Unable to connect to Plesk Database: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
packagemng: Unable to connect to the mysql database

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3:508

I went back and looked at the log that was emailed to me. I noticed the following: Trying to stop BIND server... done
dnsmng: Unable to connect to Plesk Database: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

After that point in the log, the "Client does not support authentication protocol..." message appears over and over and over again.

I desperately need to get these sites back up and running. Is there a way to fix this quickly? Or, is there a way to roll back the installation so that everything will work properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
