  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

SSL won't work on 443 - exclusive IP

A

I'm running plesk 7.5.6 on Windows 2003. The server has two IP addresses - one of which has the Plesk admin stuff on it and a couple of domains, the other is exclusive IP specifically for one domain and it's SSL.

I have an exclusive IP address for my domain www.olsocdf.org & I've installed a RapidSSL certificate onto the domain. I've followed all the instructions to the letter & it seems to install ok.

I have assigned the certificate to the correct IP in the IP Pool page & assigned www.olsocdf.org as the default domain for the IP.

If I enable SSL in the Domain set up page and click ok, the domain then stops working on port 80 & you get pushed to a default plesk page which says that 'Hosting is not configured for this domain'. I check in IIS admin & the site says it's 'stopped' - it won't start up through iis either, when I try I get an error message saying the 'file is in use by another process' I guess because it's tied up with Plesk.

I have successfully run SSL on port 9443 for this domain but this is no use as the site is for a government department which won't allow their users to access on any other port than 443 - a pain in the ***, but something I have to work to.

I've been trying to sort this out for 6 weeks thinking I'd be able to solve it so I've been very patient.......that's now run out & I really need help to sort this. If anyone has had the same sort of issues it'd be cool if you could get in touch.
