• 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 update 8.1.1 - Unable to start VPN service

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

I just updated from a host from 8.1 to 8.1.1 via the command line autoinstaller. It worked pretty well, but I can't start the VPN service called psa-vpn anymore...
It shows this error: "psa-vpn: OpenVPN failed to start".

Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
 
If you see something like this in /var/log/messages:

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: OpenVPN 2.0.1 i686-pc-linux [CRYPTO] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Mar 22 2007

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: Exiting

It means that HOST is not specified. In Plesk admin CP -> Modules -> Virtual Private Networking -> Preferences try to specify two necessary addresses:

Local peer address *
Remote peer address *

After that service should be started successfully.
