  • 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.

mySQL error

chartman

Basic Pleskian
I recently upgraded from Plesk 7.5 to 8.01 for Windows. Everything seems to be working except for mySQL. When I try to modify a database I get the following error.

Error: Unable to connect to the data source using the defined settings. Server has returned:
ODBCError HY000: [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Any ideas about this error are greatly appreciated. I am running a Windows 2003 server.

The upgrade went without a hitch. Not sure if the 8.01 upgrade "reset" something instead of using the existing settings.

Thanks.
 
Look like the mysql is not runing.
Check to see if mysql has started.
If not try restarting it under services in windows remote desk top.
 
mySql down

I checked it and it is indeed running. I turned it off and then back on, and it is running according to windows, but Plesk can't seem to work with it.

Could it be that the plesk upgrade to 8.1 has not upgraded the permissions?

Thanks for any further ideas.
