• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Upgraded and now PSA service will no longer start

how much ram u have? an how much is in use?
I have 2gb ram and 300mb are used. plesk used 512mb ram up to 768mb than must be 2gb more than enough

Mines the same, around 300mb of ram used out of 2gb. Wasn't watching htop when running Plesk Autoupdate so don't know what the resources were like.

I believe the Plesk update uses more resources than the VPS can handle and essentially crashes the server mid-update, which in turn causes all kinds of backlash.

ok, I've got it. comment out that line: zend_extension = "/usr/lib64/php/modules/sw-engine/opcache.so"
;zend_extension = "/usr/lib64/php/modules/sw-engine/opcache.so"
and
set opcache.enabled = 0

or set
opcache.memory_consumption=64
works 4 me too :)

Actually, just setting

opcache.memory_consumption=64

is enough.
opcache seems to get used by startup even if

opcache.enabled=0

And this IS a 1&1 problem obviously. Having the same issues after upgrading to v12.
Seems like 1&1 needs to allow more resources for their virtual servers!
 
Just replying to confirm that setting opcache.memory_consumption=64 worked for me as well on a 1&1 VPS. Thanks guys!!
 
Hi all,

I just updated my 1and1 VPS server to Pleask 12 and hit the same problem (PSA service not restarting, error 502, etc)...so at least 1and1 haven't 'fixed' the error, or made customers aware before updating.

Thank God this thread exists! The opcache.memory_comsumption=64 setting seemed to free up some memory so the PSA could auto restart on the next reboot.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

cheers,
Matt
