  • 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.

Hello,

I can access the login page via https://localhost:8443 as well as through whatever hostname and hostname -f returns in place of localhost. I enter the admin credentials, and it takes me right back to the login page as if nothing happened. Access logs show nothing useful - just that I was requesting resources. There is no error log next to the access log.

I know I'm entering the right credentials because I'll get a little error box above the login entry saying I entered incorrect information if I enter things wrong. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 in a VM and am trying to test this thing out. I have no key yet - I just downloaded it from the website. Any help to get beyond the login screen would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Escallated similar problem today to their service support, after 8 hours still no sollution;
1st level helpdesk forwarded the problem to 2e level, but .... nothing yet.

The problem has something todo with sw_cp_server. (Have a close look to your log file)

I'm very disappointed about the updates and services. Do they ever test it before launching it ?
 
Can anybody please offer any insight on what I should do? I might just try to reinstall it fresh since it's a VM environment. Has anybody had this problem before or is there anything I need to look for in the access log that isn't obvious?

Send me Ticket ID in PM. I will escalate it from me side.

Is there a version I can downgrade to / fresh install that works in an Ubuntu VM environment? I see nothing about sw_cp_server in the access log. Are there any other log file locations other than /usr/local/psa/admin/logs ?
 
Log for sw-cp-server is /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log
 
Thanks. I have downgraded to 9.3 and had minimal issues with the install. Once I worked around them, I was able to login, so I am now using 9.3.
