  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

New Pleskian
I downloaded and burned the Ubuntu ISO from the parallels website. Booted from the CD, installation failed. It didn't seem to like that I didn't have a hostname specified. Fixed that, still wouldn't work. I then used the autoinstall script which finally seemed to work after I had to select every package to install. At first I tried to not install mailman, that apparently was a bad idea. Anyways, it seems to be installed however I still received an error that I cannot seem to locate in the log. Supposedly a package wasn't installed correctly.

My problem now is that I can get to the Plesk login screen, but I do not know the admin password. Using the --show-password gives me six character string with 3 diamonds in it. What do I do now? This appears to be encoded or encrypted???

Ubuntu 14.04
Plesk 12
 
Set up new admin password with

# /usr/local/psa/bin/init_conf --set-admin-password -passwd new_password
