• 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.

Plesk 12, .htaccess/.htpasswd visible in web browser

New Pleskian
Hello,

Runing Plesk 12 on CentOS Apache/2.2.15. I'm able to view .htaccess and .htpasswd files on my sites in my browser. I've tried adding this to the .htaccess

<Files .htpasswd>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

<Files .htaccess>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>​

, but it has no effect. I have another rule in the same .htaccess file:

<Files wp-login.php>
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/blahblahblah.com/httpdocs/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private access"
AuthType Basic
require user blah
</Files>​

And this *does* work. So I know that the htaccess is being read.

In most default Apache configs I've seen, access to .htpasswd and .htaccess has been denied by default, and sure enough, when I check /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>​

Any idea what's going on? As far as I know httpd.conf hasn't been edited manually, and the rest of the httpd config files are all automatically generated by Plesk.
