• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Mysql User Limitations

Q

Greetings.

I am currently scripting a migration program to transfer domains to a Plesk 8 Linux system. My problem is that the Plesk MySQL interface is lacking functionality in that it will not allow a common database user among multiple databases. For example:

Originating server:

I have 3 databases

db1
db2
db3

I have 1 user that accesses these databases

dbuser

On the Plesk side, I have no option of, say, choosing an already existing user when adding a user to a database. I must have 3 distinct users for each database, which is less than optimal.

Now, I'm fully capable of duplicating the configuration on the backend (i.e. mysql db table); however, these users won't neccessarily be listed as users for secondary databases in the Plesk GUI.

I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or encountered this problem, or how I might go about solving it.

Additionally, I'm (going to be) using the /usr/local/psa/bin/database to create the databases and users on a mass scale.

Thanks.
 
Well it seems this is a common problem with no solution.
