  • 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.

Side-effect of update to Plesk 11: mysqlcheck won't run using admin user

SacAutos

Regular Pleskian
I have a VM at a hosting provider that unfortunately freezes now and then. When I does, I log into their server admin panel, reboot the VM and log in via the command line and use mysqlcheck to repair the database tables of a couple of touchy customer sites.

However, since the upgrade to Plesk 11, I can't do that any more using a command like this:

mysqlcheck -uadmin -p customer_db --auto_repair

where my password was the admin panel password. Now I have to use the specific database username and password. Not a large deal but I hate having to create a shell command file and leave it someplace where it could be found.

Does this have anything to do with that security question after the 10 to 11 upgrade? I went for that...
 
It was "enhanced security mode"

That was the irrevocable question that I answered. Does anyone know if this "enhanced security mode" might have anything to do with my question?
 
Use direcctly the cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow password encrypted, not in clear and will work.
