  • 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.

Resolved SOS: .psa.shadow empty

JuanCar

Regular Pleskian
Hi
I've empty by accident the /etc/.psa.shadow file and I cant access Plesk
I know this file contains the encrypted admin password and I need to know how recreate it.
I know the password of admin and I can access SSH as root.
Ah! I can not access mysql using this admin accoiunt from console.
Any help?

Thanks but:
I cant access Plesk so I can use this way to reset password.
I cant access database so "Plesk db" returns in an access error

I know my password, I think the easiest way is recreate .psa.shadow, using my password (that must be saved in psa database) but I don't know how is encripted (AES 128 but need more info).
Thabks again
 
What about

# export PSA_PASSWORD='XXXXXX'
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/ch_admin_passwd

?
 
I think this method was for older Plesk,, anywhere what I get is:
MySQL rc script was not found

Thanks
