  • 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 is very slow

Hi,

I'm running Plesk on a debian 5 server with 2GB memory and Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz, we have just 25 subdomains, and it is very slow to load.

From "ps x" i see lot of processes left by Plest.

/usr/bin/sw-engine-cgi -c /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini -d auto_prepend_file=auth.php3 -u psaadm

Killing these processes things goes better, but still.

Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
 
I fixed my problem by replacing the grsec kernel with a standard one

Nice processor --> not enough RAM though. Generally for between for every 50 DOMAINS you should have 4 gigs of RAM. Read the documentation on server builds for Virtuozzo from Parallels in http://kb.odin.com
you are short 2 gigs of RAM

The problem in my case was mainly on the hard drive performance, seems that there were a problem in the debian5 libata which causes Plesk to run very slow, see http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=100020

Once we solved this problem (by replacing debian 5 with CentOS), Plesk performace is impressive, even with 2GB of ram
