• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

Cannot access auto-installer

I have been having this problems for months (since 10.4 came out). I am unable to access the web-based autoinstaller. I have checked my iptables and port 8447 is set to ACCEPT ANYWHERE ANYWHERE TCP. This is also shown in the Plesk Firewall table. I did a port check (http://webtools.live2support.com/nt_cport.php) and it stated that port 8447 appears to be closed.

Is there something that I'm missing? Is there a process that needs to be running to listen to the port that apparently isn't?

I can run the Shell autoinstaller fine and the Control Panel still automatically updates itself. If I turn off iptables, I still cannot access it.

Code:
[user@localhost ~]# nmap localhost
...
8443/tcp open https-alt
...
No 8447

The port is opened when one loads autoinstaller via Tools & Utilities > Updates and Upgrades.

Initially:

root@ppu10-4:~# lsof -i tcp:8447
