• 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.

Plesk 8.2 + DBNames

I just installed Plesk 8.2 on a Debian (sarge) machine.

I dislike how the new "DBNames" act.

If i switch the "add customer name" on, my customer is added to the db name, if i switch it of my customer name is still added to the db field.

a) If i switch the feature off, i dont want to have my client username added to the dbname field.

b) I would prefer to have a "add DOMAINuser name / FTPUsername (anything what is domainspecific)" - i have only one customer/reseller on my system (which is me) and my customers/domainowners can create databases - would make more sense to make the name domainbased-specific instead reseller-specific . The main problem with DBnames is that customers may run into an already used name for their custom database - the problem still exists if you switch the new feature on and let customers decide which name they choose (they all would have the same resellername prefix)
 
That feature was coded in for us (my company) as it would fit our needs, in the next releases (plesk 9 I believe) they said they would be expanding the logic to make it "better" - so if you let them know via the support center Im sure they will take your request under consideration since they are going to re-do the logic anyways.
 
Good point ... will do that later :) - Thanks for the advice.
