  • 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.

Resolved Plesk Onyx - Cannot load shared libraries

Ian Collier

New Pleskian
Having just upgraded our server from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and from Plesk 12.5 to Onyx.

However I cannot get Plesk to start. When I go to https://xxxxxx.com:8443 I get the 502 Bad Gateway error with the word 'nginx'.

I have discovered that the sw-engine service was not running. When I try to start it ('# service sw-engine start') I get '[FAIL]'.

When I try to repair plesk ('# plesk repair all') I get the following error:

'/usr/bin/sw-engine: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem-plesk.so.1.55.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

Anyone any idea how I can solve this?

May thanks
 
Thanks for responding.

Yes, I did.

I ran the present update script as suggested, then did Ubuntu's do-release-upgrade. That was all fine, it was the post update script that caused the issue, which also broke Apache, which I have now fixed.
 
Hi Ian Collier,

pls. make sure, that your sources.list is now up-to-date for Ubuntu 14.04 ( trusty ) and doesn't contain any 12.04 ( precise ) sources.
Afterwards, pls. make sure, that all Ubuntu 14.04 - packages are up-to-date and don't need additional updates/upgrades ( aptitude upgrade ).

Pls. be sure, that you added some own, additional sources.list for Plesk, as suggested at: => #9

Repeat the aptitude upgrade - command, after you added sources:
Code:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
aptitude upgrade

Afterwards, pls. use the commands:
Code:
plesk repair installation -y -v
Code:
plesk repair all -y -v
Code:
plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base

... and pls. report back with the corresponding "installer" and "repair" - logs from "/var/log/plesk", if you still experience issues/errors/problems. :)
 
Hi - this is sorted now, our Server Provider rebuilt our server for us with Ubuntu 14.04 and Plesk Onyx.

Thanks for your help.
