  • 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.

Cron not running?

I'm trying to have a task run every 15 minutes for my Movable Type installation, and have set up a scheduled task in Plesk via cron. The problem is it's not running at all.

Here's the config...

User: chris
Minute: */15
Hour: *
Day of Month: *
Month: *
Day of Week: *
Command: perl /var/www/vhosts/fullmanator.com/subdomains/mt/httpdocs/tools/run-periodic-tasks -verbose >> /var/log/mt/run-periodic-tasks.log

Now, if I run this command via shell, it executes and runs without issue. So, digging a little further, I did "crontab -l" and did not see my Plesk-submitted cron task in that list. What gives?
 
Make sure that crond service is running and try to restart it first:

# /etc/init.d/crond restart

Did you try to modify crontab tasks manually using "crontab -e" command?
