  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Hi,

After installing the Plesk 8.6.0.1 update 080819.20 we started having problems with .net websites.
These errors appeared:

This happens on both .net 1.1 and .net 2.0 sites.
Fixed it by giving the everyone user read permissions on the folder containing the web.config file.
I tried running the plesk reconfigurator to fix permissions but that did not work.

This problem occured on a lot of websites, both sitebuilder and non-sitebuilder sites, what could be the cause of this and how can I check if the problem is fixed on all websites without visiting every one of them?
