  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Allow override of /migration directory on source host

I just ran a migration from one Plesk 9.3 Unix host to another Plesk 9.3 Unix host, and ran into two problems:

1. Both hosts had one exclusive IP, but the migration manager, when it complained about IP addresses, refused to accept my IP mapping file. (I tried all sorts of combinations--the file was definitely the correct, plain-text format with a tab character between the two IP addresses.) To work around the problem, I changed the IP address on each host to 'shared', and the migration worked fine.

2. The source host filled the / partition. Investigating the cause, it appears the source host was writing temporary migration files into /migration directory. When I initiated the migration on the target, I overrode the default temporary source-host directory (/usr/local/psa/PMM/var) with /home/local/psa/PMM/var (a directory I pre-created with 777 permissions), but /migration was used instead. I worked around the problem by soft linking /migration to a larger partition.

Perhaps these bugs have been fixed in Plesk 9.5, but I thought I'd report them just in case.
