  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Alternative for sw-nginx package

prprtl

New Pleskian
We noticed that Plesk installs it's own nginx package:

- sw-nginx-1.5.0 on CentOS 6
- sw-nginx-1.6.0 on CentOS 7

We are hesitant in relying on Parallels to provide timely released security updates of the Nginx software (1.6.0 and 1.5.0 are behind on important security updates!). If possible, we would like to be able to rely on a yum channel that provides security updates for nginx.

Could Plesk make this possible, e.g.: if one has enabled a yum channel that provides a recent version of nginx, Plesk will use this package in stead.

FYI: EPEL on CentOS 7 provides Nginx 1.6.2; Atomic on CentOS 6 provides Nginx 1.6.2.
