• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.

Issue Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Crashed

Official Plesk-solution

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'auth.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0


Cause
Syntax error. The operating system could not recognize the paths due to spaces included (for example, "Program Files (x86)").


Resolution
  1. Connect to the server via RDP.
  2. Back up %plesk_dir%admin\conf\php.ini by copying the file.
  3. Open %plesk_dir%admin\conf\php.ini with any text editor and enclose in quotes all paths that contain spaces.

It's a real server, and seems that SQL Server wants to be installed too, but there are databases there, and program reinstalling does not continue.
 
Plesk is not accessible with error 500
  1. Connect to the server using RDP.
  2. Back up the directory %plesk_dir%admin\engine.

  3. Locate the necessary MSI file which contains Plesk's PHP files.

    For example, for Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 this file is C:\ParallelsInstaller\parallels\PANEL-WIN_17.5.3\dist-msi-Microsoft-2003-i386\plesk-engine_mu028.msi.

    Alternatively, the file can be called just plesk-engine.msi.

  4. Create a directory for extracting the files from MSI (for example, C:\tempMSI).

  5. Unpack the MSI file found in step 3:

    msiexec /a C:\ParallelsInstaller\parallels\PANEL-WIN_17.5.3\dist-msi-Microsoft-2003-i386\plesk-engine_mu028.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\tempMSI

  6. Copy all files from the directory C:\tempMSI\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\engine to the directory %plesk_dir%admin\engine with replacing the already existing files.

I have already done that in previous steps. Nothing changed.

No Problem, was a pleasure to work with you.

You must sign in to start a request.

For the key:
Code:
plesk bin keyinfo.exe --list | findstr plesk_key_id

Best regards,
Max
 
Is plesk still running?

Code:
plesk bin keyinfo -l | findstr "plesk_key_id"
