• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Apache Won't Start

Plesk 7.5.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 Apache wont start. I'd love to tell you what /usr/local/psa/apache/logs/error_log says but it is basically blank for this time period. A couple of hours ago it says: File does not exist: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/default/htdocs/favicon.ico Somehow this being over 2 hours ago and not repeating I find it hard to believe this is the problem. Am I looking in the right place for error's? I have had nothing but problems with Plesk on FreeBSD and I am about ready to turn in my key to my provider and go back to doing things the easy way, NO control panel. I must say it is very convienent having SW Soft support M-F 9-5 as we know things never go down on the weekend :p
 
If you execute the command
1. killall httpd

2. /usr/local/psa/rc.d/httpd start

what happens ? ( copy and paste result )
+ check your webserver is now running?

Also

everytime apache starts or trys to start something will appear in the error log

/usr/local/psa/apache/logs/error_log

It seems strange yours doesnt

Obviously the permissions are correct. or it would not write anything.


/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/webmail/favicon.ico

I get this all the time in my log files.... doesnt cause any harm, however rather annoying i guess
 
it is saying on my box as
/usr/local/psa/rc.d/httpd start
Plesk: failed to start Apache server
