  • 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.

Apache access_log and webstats not working

ryanz

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I noticed that webstats were suddenly not showing recent data.

A closer look showed that the domain access_log were not being updated, therefore the webstats will not have any data to update from. Further investigation showed that the logs stopped working on a specific day so I checked the yum logs to see what was done on that day as an update could have caused this.

It turned out that the following was done on that day:
Yum installed:
mod_dav_svn
php-jpgraph
php-pecl-apc
php-pecl-memcache

And Apache was set to use Piped Logs as per this Parallels KB Article:
http://kb.odin.com/en/2066

It seems that the Piped Logs caused Apache not to log the access_log for each domain with the access_log files being 0kb.

I changed the http://kb.odin.com/en/2066 article to "false" and reconfigured Apache and the access_log files immediately started getting data again.

How should Apache be configured to Pipe Logs for over 300 domains while still retaining a proper working Webstat system?
