• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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........
