  • 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.

Hi. I went to the Tools page and went into Apache server settings, noticed very few modules were enabled.. I enabled some that were recommended by another PLESK guide but now it won't start. Here is what it says:

Error: START httpd_modules_ctl --enable access_compat,allowmethods,asis,auth_basic,authn_anon,authn_core,authn_dbd,authn_dbm,authn_socache,authz_core,authz_dbd,authz_dbm,authz_groupfile,authz_owner,buffer,cache,cache_disk,cache_socache,cgi,charset_lite,data,dbd,deflate,dialup,dumpio,echo,expires,ext_filter,filter,headers,heartbeat,heartmonitor,include,info,lbmethod_bybusyness,lbmethod_byrequests,lbmethod_bytraffic,lbmethod_heartbeat,log_debug,log_forensic,logio,lua,macro,proxy_ajp,proxy_balancer,proxy_connect,proxy_express,proxy_ftp,proxy_http,proxy_scgi,proxy_wstunnel,ratelimit,reflector,reqtimeout,request,rewrite,sed,slotmem_plain,slotmem_shm,socache_dbm,socache_memcache,socache_shmcb,speling,status,substitute,suexec,systemd,unixd,usertrack,version,vhost_alias,watchdog --set-mpm mpm_event -e lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1002/doc Output information may be incomplete. lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.portal file system /run/user/1002/doc Output information may be incomplete. apache_control_adapter[51520]: ports are unknown, use --http-port NUM --https-port NUM resource(s) deleted resource(s) deleted apache_control_adapter[51520]: apache_action(restart): invoke_httpd_action failed, trying second time resource(s) deleted resource(s) deleted INFO: [Tue Dec 5 20:18:57 +03 2023]: Service: apache, Action: start Trying to start service httpd... activating ***** problem report ***** Warning: start service httpd failed /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pleskrc execution failed: Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

What to do?
 
# plesk repair web shows:

Checking the status of the required Apache modules

There is a disabled required Apache module: mpm_event ............. [ERROR]

There is a disabled required Apache module: mpm_prefork ........... [ERROR]

There is a disabled required Apache module: proxy ................. [ERROR]

There is a disabled required Apache module: proxy_fcgi ............ [ERROR]

Checking the configuration of Apache modules ........................ [
OK]

proxy and proxy_fcgi are grayed out so it cannot be selected.. the others don't seem to exist in this module list!
 
No worries, this can happen to all of us ;-)
I've updated the status of the thread.
