• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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 on LXC

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install Plesk on an debian 8.9 LXC Container, but there are some issues I cant resolve. Dovecot for example doesnt start

Code:
systemctl status dovecot.service
* dovecot.service - Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2017-08-16 16:18:48 UTC; 7min ago
     Docs: man:dovecot(1)
           http://wiki2.dovecot.org/
  Process: 183 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dovecot (code=exited, status=226/NAMESPACE)

Aug 16 16:18:48 mail systemd[1]: Starting Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server...
Aug 16 16:18:48 mail systemd[183]: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/sbin/dovecot: Permission denied
Aug 16 16:18:48 mail systemd[1]: dovecot.service: control process exited, code=exited status=226
Aug 16 16:18:48 mail systemd[1]: Failed to start Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server.
Aug 16 16:18:48 mail systemd[1]: Unit dovecot.service entered failed state.

Maybe someone could lead me in the right direction. If any further information is required, don't hesitate to ask.

Best Regards
 
Try to do following:

- patch file /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dovecot.service with:

- PrivateTmp=true
+ PrivateTmp=false
+ NoNewPrivileges=yes

- run:

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart dovecot

I hope it will help.
 
Hey!

It did indeed work! Thanks for your help. I'm not sure if there are more problems with the installation, what is the best method to check if everything is running as it should be?

Best Regards

You can run

# plesk repair installation

and check that there are no any errors in the output.
