  • 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.

Issue Apache Testing 123 page displaying instead of website

CHLondon

New Pleskian
I am not a developer but have been helping a friends with their website as they had some issues with malware.

During a basic database cleanup, I went into Plesk to update the Plesk version and do some other security upgrades.

Whilst making these changes, I also installed the Wordpress Application in Plesk thinking this would be an easier way to manage the site rather than going directly to the Wordpress admin panel. But after making these changes, the site has gone down entirely and all that is being shown on the website is the 'Apache Testing 123...' page.

It looks like somehow I've overwritten or deleted the website content, but I have no idea how. We have backup copies of the database, but I don't think I have a local copy of the website content itself.

I've used Tools like BackupBuddy in Wordpress before, but we had to delete most of our plugins because there was malware somewhere in the site.

Is there any way through Plesk to obtain a copy of the site contents?
 
Plesk includes a backup tool. If you have made a backup with it, e.g. used the typical automated daily backup with full backup or increments, you can recover your site from there. If you do not have a backup, you need to recreate your content.
 
I am facing the same issue with joomla website files and structure that worked in other hosting server.
I set the "Document Root" to httpdocs/public_html. But what I see is apache welcome page only.
What is the solution?
Thank you in advance.

Is httpdocs/public_html the correct location of the website? By default all files for a website reside in the httpdocs directory.
