• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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?
