  • 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.

***** 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.
See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

There's nothing that I know that changed between the other day and today, yet everything is broken now. The sites don't work but Plesk does.

Best,

Josh
 
Most likely the problem is caused by the reason, the description in the article  Unable to start Apache: Unable to find IPv4 address of server.example.com
I advise you to check it out.
