  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Resolved Installing Plesk 12.5.30 on Debian 8.5 (Jessie)

So this isn't a concern, rather more of advice to those having trouble installing Plesk on Jessie

I have used Plesk for about 3 years (only now having a reason to join the Community Forums) and recently I lost everything on my web server from my own stupidity, including Plesk. Reinstalling a fresh version of plesk was nowhere as easy as I remembered it to be. So after 3 days of on and off troubleshooting I finally figured this out.

I kept getting errors when attempting to install Plesk. such as

Code:
Failed to fetch http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_12.5.30/dists/etch/all/binar y-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

or

Code:
 500 http://autoinstall.plesk.com/ubuntu/PSA_12.5.30/ jessie/all Packages

     origin autoinstall.plesk.com

So after many cups of coffee and cursing everyone and their dog, I have resolved this, by taking a look at my friends Server (Whom is running Plesk 12.5.30 on Jessie (8.3)) and realizing our source.list file were very different. I won't bother posting what mine was, here's what you should try in an attempt to fix this(step by step, from a new installation),

  1. open terminal or SSH into your server.
  2. Login with your credentials
  3. use # su and login with the root password
  4. make a copy of your current sources files
    # cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
  5. edit sources.list
    # nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  6. remove EVERYTHING and copy and paste the fallowing code

    # Using iweb.ca mirror
    deb http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ jessie main
    deb-src http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ jessie main

    deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

    # jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
    deb http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ jessie-updates main
    deb-src http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ jessie-updates main


  7. use crtl+O to writeOut and crtl+X to exit
  8. update apt
    # apt-get update
  9. attempt to reinstall Plesk

hopefully, this fixes your issue as it did mine.

To the moderator, my apologies if this isn't the correct way to get this information out there, or if it's common sense to everyone, but me.

Cheers!
