  • 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.

Hello, ankn99!

Would you please to enable temporary debug log:
# plesk conf panel.ini
[log]
filter.priority = 7
And show me lines with "INFO [extension/letsencrypt] Register to ACME server" and "INFO [extension/letsencrypt] Validate ACME server" during the renew operation?
 
Hi,

I changed the Line, restartet PSA and right after this, I tried to create the certificate and copied everything inside the panel.log because I could not find the String you requested in any file under /var/log/plesk/* ....
THX for your help,

Andy

P.S.: I changed my real Domainname to XXXXXXXXX.XXX

Hi,
with the last Upadate to Version 2.10.0-621 , the problem still exist.

sincerly Andy
 
I have the same problem, I do not understand why in some domains of the same server the error does not jump, allowing me to generate the certificate without problems.
