• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue logrotate.service Failed

Basic Pleskian
I recently installed a new version of Debian 11.5 with MariaDB 10.6. I noticed this error - how to fix it?

Hi there. After having the same issue, I found out that the folder '/etc/logrotate.d/' contains two conflicting files:
- /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
- /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb

After moving 'mysql-server' to a temporary location, the service can be started successfully. At the moment I am trying to get a response from Plesk Support.
