  • 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.

Shared SSL Not Working

Mike Legg

Basic Pleskian
When we try to access a site using shared SSL on our Plesk 11 Windows server, we get the error -

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
Config File \\?\[Drive]:\Inetpub\vhosts\[ssldomain]\httpdocs\web.config

I understand why it's erroring - there is no web.config file it's a ColdFusion site and doesn't need one. (ASP.Net is disabled)

Does anyone know why it's even looking for a web.config file?
 
I fixed the problem by enabling ASP.Net on the domain.

For the sake of security, I prefer to disable technologies that aren't being used, but it looks like if your using shared SSL ASP.Net is a required technology.
