• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Resolved SiteBuilder failing to publish changes for one account

Erico Morais

New Pleskian
Hy!

One of our customers is unable to push updates to his SiteBuilder website. After clicking the "Publish" button, the process takes an oddly long time (several minutes) and then it supposedly finishes OK, but in reality the website remains unaltered and no files have been updated under his httpdocs dir (no timestamp updates, the Last Modified dates and time remain).

The "plesklog_sitebuilder" file logs "The site with UUID (*) has been successfully published", but that is incorrect. No updates can be seen in their website (checking with static cache disabled on Firefox, of course).

When attempting to save the SiteBuilder design or use the "Export Design" tool, it yields a ZIP file that is 0 bytes long. Additionally, that plesklog_sitebuilder file prints out the following:

Code:
2020/04/21 18:09:40.529 4356 808 2020-04-21T18:09:40-03:00    [EMERG]    /sitebuilder/JsonApi/    SB_Site_Snapshot_Exception: Failed to create the snapshot. Either the file with name 'F:/Program Files (x86)/Parallels/Plesk/sb/tmp/752a29cc6f608f051892907d8ef78e8a.zip' does not exist,' .
                ' or access for reading it is not granted.

I don't see anything wrong with the permission within the users httpdocs dir, but I don't know what the correct permissions are supposed to be like in the "tmp" dir pointed out in the error above.

It should be noted that we have 53 SiteBuilder accounts in this server and we are seeing no complaints from other customers (at least not yet). I picked a random account among those and made a small change in their website, which was published correctly (the change was immediately reflected in the website as expected). I then created a new account, published a random template and then edited the content, no issues whatsoever. It appears to be about this one account in particular.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
