• 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.

Contribution Site Import Extension with ModSecurity - Tip

@Everyone,

When using the Site Import Extension when having the Web Application Firewall (WAF/ModSecurity) activated with the Advanced ModSecurity Rules by Atomicorp, one will encounter some problems.

In essence, the following issues are present:

ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: ModSecurity disallowing access

SYMPTOMS:
- file transfer and/or database transfer fails
- Fail2Ban database can become corrupted

SOLUTION:

1 - Go to the source server and login into the Plesk Panel,

2 - Go to "Tools & Settings > Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) > Tab: Settings"

3 - add under "Configuration > Custom directives":

SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "@ipMatch <IP destination server>" id:101,phase:1,t:none,nolog,allow

and make sure to replace <IP destination server> with the proper IP.


Finally, with respect to the potential Fail2Ban database corruption, note that an additional thread will follow.

Hope the above helps a bit.

Regards........
