  • 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.

Issue Unable to configure a web server on the host

New Pleskian
After reading a whole lot and not getting anywhere I hope someone here can help guide me in the right direction. I have been getting an e-mail from my server after reconfiguring a domain. I installed the Webconfiguration Troubleshooter and did a lot of the stuff that I found in the articles.

What I found so far:
I am running OpenSuse 13.1
Plesk 12.0.18

Shown in Plesk
Code: 
Error: New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: Can not restart web server:.

Running

Most of the stuff I searched for did not return anything useful other than add more debug statements. So if anyone has some ideas what I can try, I would be very glad.
 
Yes, I have seen this. With OpenSuse apache2 has moved to systemd and none of those commands still work.

I have made some progress though. When I configure the domains without restarting the apache2 everythings runs through and the error messages disappear. And I am able to manually start the apache2, so maybe that helps someone, as I havn't seen that advice anywhere and I wasn't really aware of that possibility before I saw it in some output.

Code: 
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all -no-restart
