    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.

Cannot Start Plesk

Hi,

I cannot start Plesk after changing a couple of things today.

Essentially, I had been receiving warnings about disk space being short, so I removed some tmp files and log files. It was working BUT I had not restarted Plesk.

I later discovered that a number of access logs were looking iffy, so decided to tighten a few things up, the first being the Plesk firewall. The first alteration I made was to the Plesk Administrative Access rules, to which I added three IP addresses with which I could access Plesk. It was at this point that the Plesk admin ceased to be available.

I tried restarting Plesk via SSH, to no avail - Starting Plesk Failed.

So this could either be something to do with the new Firewall rules (which I am not that familiar with) OR it could be something to do with some key file I removed from the /tmp dir previously which had not come to light until the new change forced a reset (which didn't work) however, I have had key issues in the past which usually flag up when restarting Plesk.

Any help would be gratefully received!
 
Yep that got it - had a little trouble with installing the dependencies - for anyone struggling, the fix was to:

yum install openssl097a db4
Click to expand...

This was to install libcrypto 64 bit and libssl 64 bit.

Hopefully today will be a less painful day than yesterday - I was seriously perplexed by this problem, and spent a good few hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. Turns out it wasn't me. First time for everything :)
