  • 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.

Issue drwebd fails to start on two debian 10/11 servers since last night

TimReeves

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 10 and 11
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 Update #3
Sadly, I've already had to post several threads on this topic in the last few years - the way Plesk authenticates drwebd seems to be really fragile and ever again causes problems. Would be great if an alternative, robust solution can be implemented.
DrWebd was running normally on two servers and got automatically restarted in the night (by some housekeeping software of mine) - and failed to restart. I haven't touched the setup at either of those servers in weeks, and the last Plesk update was: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 Update #3, last updated on Feb 20, 2025 03:10 AM. So I've changed nothing but suddenly, at TWO servers, it won't start any more. WTF? This issue is slowly becoming a heartbreaker - help, help!
Thanks,
Tim
