  • 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.

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.
