  • 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 dies every night since upgrading to Debian 8

Regular Pleskian
Since upgrading Plesk 12.5.30 from Debian 7 to Debian 8, I have a problem with Apache 2.4.
Every night, during some daily cron I guess, it dies:

[Mon Oct 12 02:11:59.093175 2015] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 5559:tid 3074590528] AH00297: SIGUSR1 received. Doing graceful restart
[Mon Oct 12 02:12:01.199716 2015] [core:notice] [pid 5559] AH00060: seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process
If I reload apache manually, it works fine. My guess is that something is going wrong with log rotation, but I cannot see what could be the problem.
Has anyone experienced such an issue?
 
Hello,

I remember same problems with server graceful reload in short time, i.e */etc/init.d/apache2 reload && /etc/init.d/apache2 reload && /etc/init.d/apache2 reload* leads to segmentation fault.
You can try to replace reload to restart in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 to make sure that this problem caused by logrotation
 
Yeah I did that and it at least is a workaround, apache does not crash anymore on logrotate.
I have a feeling that Apache 2.4 is less reliable than 2.2, maybe that has something to do with the fact that it runs in a OpenVZ container which still has the 2.6 kernel. I will upgrade to kernel 4.2 and LXC container sometime over the next weeks/months, until then I hope I won't get any other major problems...
