• 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.

SSL Renewal

I think this is a bug perhaps...

I had an SSL expire yesterday. It had a CSR, Private Key and Certificate Text. I renewed with the vendor and was given new Certificate Text. I replaced the SSL's Certificate Text in Plesk and restarted Apache, but it didn't update. Same SSL was being used.

The only way I got it to work was by copying the Private Key and creating a new SSL with my new Certificate Text, then assigning the new SSL to the domain. Anyone else encounter this?

I've just had exactly the same issue! I'd rather not have to install a new certificate from scratch if anyone has a solution!
 
I had the same problem.

My solution was to load the new certificate text through Plesk. This created a new certificate in /usr/local/psa/var/certificates

Then, I went there and looked the new file, made a backup of the current expiring certificate, and replaced the current file with the new file.

Then restarted apache and it is now working. I didn't find another cleaner way to do it. Nice Plesk!

Hope this is useful for someone in the future.
