  • 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.

Hello,
I've been trying to publish sites created since getting SiteBuilder installed. However, I
have been experiencing difficulties. Although it looks as if I can log onto the server
with the settings provided, the system does not upload the files. I am getting this error:

"The site cannot be published to the specified location.
Cannot find site files at http://domain/websites/(sitename)/. The specified site URL does not match the FTP settings."

The settings are pretty straight forward:
Working directory - /httpdocs/websites
Web site URL - .../websites/(sitename)

I have went into the Help system and found that relevant info that says "If the user
wants to publish the site to a myFolder subdirectory, then the working directory should
be /httpdocs/myFolder." Again, this is what I attempted in my settings. Please assist.
 
If you publish into Plesk server the folder structure will be the following:

Working directory - /httpdocs/websites
Web site URL - http://domain.tld/websites/

In case of simple hosting if httpdocs is FTP user's home directory by default working directory will be different: websites/ ...Please check it up.
