  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

1. In Plesk i`ve setup a cronjob to backup a mysql database (tested from ssh - root and working):
mysqldump -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` MYDB > /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/bk/backup_`date +\%d.\%m.\%Y`.sql


2. first i ran:
/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -u -crontab-secure-shell "/bin/sh"


3. then i executed the cronjob and received email:
cat: /etc/psa/.psa.shadow: Permission denied
/bin/sh: /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/bk/backup_21.04.2014.sql: Permission denied


4. and for another cronjob to delete older backups:
find /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/bk -mtime +20 -type f -exec rm {} \;

similar error:
rm: cannot remove `/var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/bk/backup.08.02.2014.sql': Permission denied
