  • 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.

Unable to create Session object: Unable to set up default locale

jbcampos

New Pleskian
I've had a plesk 11 installation going for a few days on my 2012 server. Everything seemed to be working fine until today when I came in I got this error message:

ERROR: PleskFatalException
Unable to create Session object: Unable to set up default locale: default locale does not exist or undefined.

0: common_func.php3:73
psaerror(string 'Unable to create Session object: Unable to set up default locale: default locale does not exist or undefined.')
1: auth.php3:208

I didn't have much time to troubleshoot it but when I tried it again in a few hours it was working again. I tried later today and now its having the same problem. Kind of scratching my head on this one. I saw other posts recommended to look at the locale's in the plesk mysql database. I'm not sure what user/pass to use to login to the plesk mysql db server, and even if I do if I find missing/broken locale's how would I fix them? Suppose I could run the installer again to see if I can add/remove components that way.
 
Tried resetting the locale's in reference to reading http://kb.parallels.com/en/112315 but get the same error:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\bin> .\server_pref.exe --set-default -locale en-US
Cannot initialize admin's session: Unable to set up default locale: default locale does not exist or undefined.


PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\bin> .\admin.exe -u -locale en-US
Cannot initialize admin's session: Unable to set up default locale: default locale does not exist or undefined.

The locale's are there I'm able to locate them here C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\common\resources\languages\en-US

I suppose it's a permissions or UAC thing?
 
Well I did see that but I didn't know what password the plesk mysql instance used. I tried my local admin, plesk admin password, couldn't get in. I suppose I could reinstall since this is a newly created server with no live customers on it but i'd like to figure out how to fix it in case it does happen to a live server.
 
Thanks Igor. Seems everything is correct. Anything else you could think of? I could just reinstall it as this is a new deployment. If we upgrade an existing panel server and run into this issue is there a guide we could use on what to backup, etc.
 
Had to open a ticket with support. Issue came down to incorrect permissions on one of the locate folders. Issue has since come back again though. Re-opened my ticket. I'll see what they say next.
