  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Resolved PHP timeout and Wordpress WXL import

Denis Gomes Franco

Regular Pleskian
I'm importing a Wordpress XML file (WXL) in order to migrate a customer's site. The file itself is not big (7 MB) but it has quite a number of attachments that will be downloaded from the remote server and that is taking quite some time.

I have set up the PHP timeout setting in Plesk to 600 seconds (10 minutes) but it doesn't seem to affect the process. Later on I found out that this is due to my set up of Nginx-only. Looks like these PHP timeout settings aren't affecting Nginx because the NGINX GATEWAY TIMEOUT message appears at 30 or 60 seconds. Reverting to Apache-only allowed the import to go as planned without timeout issues.

So, I'll leave this up if it helps someone. And to the Plesk team, looks like this is a bug that needs fixing ;)
