• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Plesk 12: Uncaught exception when adding / changing mail adresses

netsetter

Basic Pleskian
Seems everythings is working normal when ignoring following error message, but everytime I add or change mail settings for a domain, I am getting this error:

Internal error.

ERROR: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Log_Exception' with message '"/var/log/plesk/panel.log" cannot be opened with mode "a"' in /usr/local/psa/admin/externals/Zend/Log/Writer/Stream.php:81 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Plesk/Log.php(69): Zend_Log_Writer_Stream->__construct('/var/log/plesk/...') #1 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Plesk/Log.php(359): Plesk_Log::init() #2 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Plesk/Log.php(262): Plesk_Log::get() #3 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Plesk/Log.php(168): Plesk_Log::log('panel', 3, '"/var/log/plesk...') #4 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/PleskException.php(26): Plesk_Log::err('"/var/log/plesk...') #5 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/PleskException.php(13): report_crash('"/var/log/plesk...', Array, 'Zend_Controller...', 500, Object(Zend_Controller_Exception)) #6 [internal function]: plesk_exception_handler(Object(Zend_Controller_Exception)) #7 {main} thrown (Stream.php:81)

And after:
Error: "/var/log/plesk/panel.log" cannot be opened with mode "a"
Checked the file permissions, they are:
Code:
-rw-r----- 1 psaadm root 5226 Sep 20 04:40 /var/log/plesk/panel.log
 
There was probably some issue in your former upgrades/updates.

Please use:

/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

Be aware, that this path is to the latest bootstrapper, depending on your system and updates/upgrades/patches, this path might be slightly different. If the command doesn't work for you, try "ls /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/" to list your own most recent version.
 
After logging out and loggin in, I now have this error message everywhere (on white page background). Only the plesk header bar shows up.

I ran the command you provided me, it was reconfiguring everything, but the error still happens. :-/
Restarting Plesk also didn't solve the error.

Consider running ...

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base

...to force Plesk to re-install missing parts and installing the latest patches again. If this isn't working, you might as well consider opening a support - ticket ( Parallels - Support )
 
Can't open a support ticket, it says my Parallels Plesk 12 Web Pro Edition license key is either not valid or not eligible for email support, that's normal?
 
Hello,
I encountered this error last ninht. Actually, solution is very easy. You try the following code on your SSH
  • chown psaadm:root /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log
source.
