• 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.

Autoinstaller hangs after downloading new autoinstaller version if a web server reconfiguration is in progress

TITLE

Autoinstaller hangs after downloading new autoinstaller version if a web server reconfiguration is in progress

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Obsidian 18.0.31 to 18.0.32
CentOS 7.9

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Tricky issue. When running the upgrade installer while a long running web server reconfiguration process has not yet finished, the autoinstaller hangs after downloading the latest autoinstaller version.

It seems to depend on how long the other task is running. On the server affected by the issue, the reconfiguration task was running for approximately 25 minutes, because the server has many domains. Afterwards, autoinstaller did not continue.

The autoinstaller process had to be killed. Then, after a restart of the upgrade process, all went through smoothly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Let the server reconfigure many domains so that it takes a long while to complete the reconfiguration process. While that is going on, start an upgrade.

ACTUAL RESULT

Autoinstaller hangs and does not pick-up process again after reconfiguration has finished.

EXPECTED RESULT

Either show that the installation cannot be done while a web server reconfiguration is in progress, or attach autoinstaller to the restarted web server instance after the web server reconfiguration process has finished.
