  • 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.

Question installing fts-xapian module for dovecot

johnrdorazio

Basic Pleskian
I see that Plesk is installing a recent version of dovecot (2.3.9.2) on my system with Ubuntu 16.04. I would like to build the fts-xapian module, so I need to install the dovecot-dev package, however I cannot find version 2.3.9.2 of the dovecot-dev package. After enabling the official dovecot repo for Ubuntu Xenial in my sources.list and apt updating, apt is telling me that it wants to install v2.3.10 of dovecot-dev. However I can't install v2.3.10 of dovecot. Since I've been having trouble with fts-xapian not being activated because dovecot is complaining about an ABI mismatch which was due to a dovecot-dev version of 2.2.22 while my Plesk dovecot is at v2.3.9.2 . I could attempt to install the more recent dovecot-dev v2.3.10 but I'm afraid I'll receive the same error of an ABI mismatch. Is there any way I can get a dovecot-dev v2.3.9.2 to match the plesk installation?
Or even better yet, would it be possible to offer an fts-xapian module for the plesk dovecot?

Or, other option, I'm thinking of putting up a solr instance which I will probably use for a number of things. I may prefer solr over xapian. Would anyone be able to tell me if the plesk-dovecot package is compiled with the "--with-solr" parameter? And if not, what are the suggested parameters to replicate the plesk-dovecot package with the addition of the "--with-solr" parameter?
