• 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.

HOWTO: What to do when preview is not working!

Symptom:

When you press the preview button from domain control panel you get a 404 (not found) error. The address of the broswer opened is: http://<host>/<domain.com> e.g. http://www.finexe.com / clientdomain.com


Technical info:

The 404 is due to that Plesk is trying to retrieve the directory below your default directory. In the file structure it wants to retrieve: c:\inetpub\vosts\finexe.com\httpdocs\clientdomain.com

Classification:

BUG

Solution:

Two steps:

1. Check that you do not have a default website for the IP the client domain is on from controlpanel: server -> ippool->ip
if you do have a default:
A. create a new domain with physical hosting
B. change the default to it from server->ippool> #hosting
C.Delete the domain
you should not have a default domain now for the ip

2. All logins should be made from the IP. e.g.: http://<ip>/<clientdomain.com>
