  • 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.

How do I reset permissions for httpdocs?

The permissions on the httpdocs folder got changed (the group also) for one of my subdomains. I can no longer access the logs or anything.

What command can I use to reset them?

Another alternative to fix the problem was recommended by someone I talked to from Parallels support, they told me there's a button labeled "Check permissions" in the Plesk control panel, however, I do not see this button.
 
Hello,

Please try:

#/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/vhostmng --install-vhost --vhost-name=<domain_name> --user-name=<user_name> --set-content-permissions
 
See attached for a screenshot of where Check Permissions button is.

I fixed the issue by psyically accessing the machine and right clicking the httpdocs folder and changing the group to psaserv and user to the domain user.

However, this will be a HUGE help if I need to reset the permissions again in the future. Thank you very much!

That being said, I still do not see the "Check Permissions" button ... I'll post a follow up below.
 
I have put in symbolic links through SSH for a multi-store Magento shopping cart setup. It seems the permissions have changed after that. If I reset permissions will that mess up the symbolic links that I set up? Any thoughts?
