• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Since we have updated Plesk for Windows 8.2 to 8.4 we are unable to setup hosting for domains: Here is the error.

Error: Unable to update hosting preferences: Unable to setup skeleton: skelmng failed: Unexpected error

We are running Windows 2003 Server.

Can someone help us please.

Has someone already ran in to this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ok found a solution.

We had to use the the following Plesk Application.
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\SkelMng.exe

Command line:
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin>SkelMng
Skelmng (Skeletons Manager) Utility

Usage:

SkelMngApp --list-formats
SkelMngApp --test-support <type>
SkelMngApp --test-archive --filename <filename> [ --force-type <type> ]
SkelMngApp --remove-skel --id <client_id>
SkelMngApp --install-default --id <client_id>
SkelMngApp --install-skel --filename <filename> [ --force-type <type> ] --id <client_id>
SkelMngApp --setup-skel --vhost-name <domain_name> --id <client_id>

Archive type detection performed by analisys of its filename extension.
Also you may specify it manualy via <type> parameter of --force-type option
(possible values: 'zip', 'tgz').

____________________________________________________

First we did the following command:
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin>SkelMng --list-formats
GZ
RAR
TAR
TGZ
ZIP
0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly we did the following command:
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin>SkelMng --test-support
and got "Unexpected error"

This one we dont get!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the last step we did:
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin>SkelMng --install-default
0

Ha! now we got the .skel\0 folder setup as default. For us this is good.


Retried setup physical hosting. WORKS!


What happenned during upgrade is totaly unknown to us at the moment had to find a solution fast.

Have a nice day!
