  • 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,
Recently I've been seeing issues with the php session path after upgrading from Ubuntu 14 to 16. Could not login on different scripts like WHMCS, Blesta etc.

The issue was with the session.save_path, in Xenial the PHP5 is replaced with PHP7 and the directory "php5" does not exist in "/var/lib/php5" anymore where Plesk keeps PHP sessions temporary by default, but "/var/lib/php" does exist instead. (check below)

Bumping this old thread as I have noticed a very similar problem with Plesk Obsidian 18.0.30.1 after a recent upgrade from Debian Jessie to Stretch.

On a website running a PHP version installed by Plesk, users couldn't login anymore. Turned out the "session.save_path" was still set to "/var/lib/php5/sessions" although PHP 5 had been removed with the upgrade to Stretch.

Solution was to fix this in "/opt/plesk/php/*/etc/php.ini" by setting
Code:
session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/sessions"
and then running
Code:
plesk repair web -v -php-fpm-configuration
