• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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
