• 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.

Troubles Using PLESK 7.6 Windows and Troxo's htaccess ISAPI

Hello admins,

Some problems encounter when you install PLESK 7.6 on W2K3 Server and IIS6 in combination with Troxo's htaccess protection.

When using Troxo's filter, it is possible to integrate or use the well known .htaccess and .htpassword files within a webdirectory to protect it from anonymous visitors.

But, PLESK 7.6 had the function urlprotect.dll ISAPI in use for the protection of webfolders. You can setup this function within PLESK admin / control panel (Web folders -> protection)

When you use the Troxo and PLESK protection filter (ISAPI) on the same server, both the filters work bad. Service unavailable's, hangs, long response times etc when using PLESK 7.6's webprotection and while Troxo's filter is installed.

My advice: on Windows IIS, Troxo's solution is great, but only when you aren't using PLESK.

PLESK is the best option for protection.

Regards,

Hans
