  • 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.

I am considering to create a new instance of ubuntu and intall plesk again...
How do I migrate from one plesk to another with no data loss?

Plesk says you should not upgrade your Ubuntu version, it may break things. I have the same issue with an older server running Ubuntu 18, the solution is really what Rasp says: run a migration. Just don't forget about DNS propagation periods...
 
Hi all,
I have tried to migrate plesk to new fresh version with no luck
It stays on starting...
I am now wondering if I have the right login information....
For Root I used default admin
public IP
and password...

Is there a difference between root and admin?

thanks
 
Usually you'll receive the root login credentials from your provider or you've create your own root credentials when you've installed the server.

I just created a new virtual machine with plesk on Google Cloud and nowhere do I receive the root login...
Is there a way to search for it or change it on mode command line?
 
I am not familiair with Google Cloud myself. A quick Google search about Root access for GC gives me this Stackoverflow article: Get root password for Google Cloud Engine VM

Which suggests that you (might) have to create a root password yourself. Doing something on command line like:
Code:
user@server[~]# sudo passwd
Changing password for user root.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Next, create a remote backup in the cloud. To do this, install the Googe Drive Backup extension. You will need to do two backup configurations, one on the server and one for the remote backup. First set up Remote Backup for a gdrive account with enough space for backups of your accounts on the server. Set up a security password for the backup. Now configure the backup on your server. and also use a security password. Finally, after the backup is complete. I recommend using the current centOS 8 and Plesk 18, right after installing the OS and panel, configure the backup again with the remote backup, so that it is possible to restore your client and primary accounts.

OK, thanks... I will try that...
