• 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.

Problems with adding external database server

Henrik_Markarian

New Pleskian
We have several websites hosted on our dedicated server that is managed by Plesk 11. We need to add a database server to allow database access from outside localhost -- when we add the database server (using any of the hosted domains or the IP of the server) we get the following error:

Error: Connection Refused.

When browsing to the server page we get the following warning:

Warning: The last attempt to control this database server failed because of network problems.

The database server is setup with defaults:

host name or IP address: IP of the server
Port number: 3306 (its left blank but Plesk populates with this port number)
Database server type: MySQL
Use this server as default for MySQL: No

Any recommendations as to where to go with this??
 
If I correctly understood you have MySQL server installed on other physical server?
Have you tried connect to this server from Plesk server with CLI mysql command?
