Issue unable to create new domains

[mudassar]

Server operating system version

windows server 2022

Plesk version and microupdate number

obsidian 18.0.47

Everything was working fine yesterday, i was recovering domains from backups from another server. I only did one - a wordpress site.

This morning I am trying to add other domains and I am getting the error:

Creating physical hosting

I have run plesk repair utiilty and there was no effect.
I have also re-patched.

I have also tried

Although not really as the records already existed.

This more likely sounds like an issue with the bindings with the SSL. Are you trying to create a whole new domain or you trying to restore from a backup?

I originally tried from back up - but unfortunately plesk gave the error that the backup was from an unsupported plesk version. That didnt work so i manually set up that domain.
I made some changes in IIS to get the website to work, but domain specific, so i hope that didn't effect anything.

Now i am trying to create completely new domains.
