  • 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.

Issue Cannot connect to Plesk view SSH

New Pleskian
I was working on a Plesk Obsidian server via SSH and I modified the ssh config and restarted the sshd service. However, the SSH config was invalid and now the service is down and I cannot ssh into the server. I have tried to access it from the panel but it didn't work. Does someone knows how I can get my access back?
 
Some server providers offer remote console access (e.g., KVM). If available, you can use it to access the server and fix the SSH configuration.

Hopefully you can login that way and revert the changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Next time before restarting sshd service test/check the new configuration for syntax errors with #sudo sshd -t

Make sure to correct any errors reported before restarting the SSH service to avoid locking yourself out of the server.
