  • 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 Error: Unable to rename home of sysuser with id...

ChrisMonder

Basic Pleskian
I got this:

1. I have domain X
2. I added a domain alias Y
3. I want to switch X for Y
4. I deleted Y domain alias in Plesk
5. I try to change domain X for Y in hosting settings and I got this:

Error: Unable to rename home of sysuser with id=XX: Unable to execute usermng: usermng[XXXXX]: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): password changed for XXXXXXX usermod: directory /var/www/vhosts/Y/httpdocs exists

So I look at /vhosts and no, there's no Y folder, what can I do?
 
I would suggest you check possible database inconsistencies with the following command:

# plesk repair db -n
 
Try to find this domain related errors with help of

mysql> select id,objectId,status,description from Configurations where status="error"\G;
 
Checking the Plesk database using the native database server tools .. [OK]

Checking the structure of the Plesk database ........................ [OK]

Checking the consistency of the Plesk database ...................... [OK]

Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0

and:

[root@svr ~]# mysql> select id,objectId,status,description from Configurations where status="error"\G;
[root@svr ~]#
 
Try to run

# plesk repair web

and then repeat your actions.
