• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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.
