• 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.

Qmail problem: service stopped

After upgrade, I had some problems on debian 3.1 with qmail. The service stopped and the port was closed.

It was that an old xinetd process was ignored by the upgrader.

Stopping the old xinetd process and restarting it solved this issue.

Hope it will help somebody !

This seems similar to the problem I am having...

See my original post...
Email Stopped Working after Failed upgrade to 8.1

However, Swsoft and my DataCenter Engineer haven't yet got my server working. Qmail starts but stops in a few seconds.


However I occasionally notice that when I go into Services Management I see the indicator as running but when I do a refresh it stops, But most of the time it is just stopped.

Please post any comments on my original post.

I need to get this server back working before my clients show up Monday morning and find they can't send or receive Email
 
Problem Solved

It seems like my problem was similar in that 8.1 upgrade did not function due to conflict.

According to SWsoft Technical Support Engineer.........

Debian allows the installation of both 'inetutils-inetd' AND 'xinetd' packages (unfortunately, it uses both of them simultaneously and makes Plesk act wrong).

And thus... Plesk tries to do '/etc/init.d/inetd restart' to manage inetd. But this has no sense for inetutils-inetd. ...Deinstall 'inetutils-inetd' package and install 'netkit-inetd' package (since 'netkit-inetd' is a 'functionality').

..........


hope this can hepl someone else with a similar problem.
