• 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.

Use xinetd or init.d to restart qmail?

I just went through a crazy weekend of wrestling with qmail. It would show as running, but not accept connections.

Finally my ISP told me to do the follwoing:

1) Stop using the /etc/init.d/qmail restart command
2) Rename /etc/xinetd.d/smtp.psa to smtp_psa
3) Use /etc/init.d/xinetd restart to bounce qmail

I have a few quesitons around this and would appreciate any anwers or a link to a site that explains it.

1) When I click restart form the Plesk console, which command is executed?

2) When I run "/sbin/chkconfig --list" it shows qmail as active with all the regular services AND under xinetd services. Is the init.d version or the xinetd version going to start if I reboot my server?

3) Which is the preferred configuration?

I am on Fedro Core 2 with Plesk 7.5.4. I appreciate the help!
