After a new installation upgrade towards 18.04, the Plesk dashboard turns blank.
I tried the link above and didn't give a solution.
What I've checked why Nginx had issues, checked the Plesk installation dashboard. Nginx is NOT enabled at all.
I have not used the SSH way to install any software/plug-ins.
Part 1 just after upgrade to 18.04
Job for sw-cp-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status sw-cp-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Attached all the full error logs PLUS the error log from last time upgrade to 18.0.23
Please help because I'm stock this hole year. I even tried installing other Web Panels just to not work with Plesk.
It's my idea that Plesk is having or getting issues once Nginx gets installed. Always when using Nginx and vhosts it goes wrong somehow.
