Hi Behnam,

first, you can try to correct possible permission issues:

Code:
chown psaadm:psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps
chmod 755 /var/lib/psa/dumps
chown root.root -R /var/lib/psa/dumps/*
find /var/lib/psa/dumps/ -type f | xargs chmod -R 640
find /var/lib/psa/dumps/ -type f -name status_OK | xargs chmod -R 644
find /var/lib/psa/dumps/ -type d | xargs chmod -R 755

If this didn't already solved your issue, pls. consider to read and follow:

Unfortunately, there is only a provided solution for RHEL/CentOS - based - systems. On Debian/Ubuntu - based systems, it's more complicated and there are only veeeeery tricky solutions to correct all permissions, defined at the installed deb - packages. You still could try to use the Plesk repair utility:

plesk repair all


Edit: Ups, sorry... this suggestion is for LINUX and not for Windows. Pls. follow the next suggestion ( from @IgorG ).
