  • 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 Watchdog problems on Ubuntu fresh install

H9k

Regular Pleskian
Hi there!
I installed a fresh Plesk Onyx on Ubuntu 16.04, and ran into problems with Watchdog. Spamassassin and PHP-FPM were reported as down and eventually released from monitoring.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Watchdog, to no avail.
I then had a look at /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc.tpl to find out that the pid files the config points to do not exist.
To avoid fiddling with the Watchdog config, i issued ln -s plesk-php70-fpm.pid php5-fpm.pid and ln -s spamassassin.pid spamd.pid, now they show as online.
 
Same here on a fresh Plesk Ony 17.5.3 on Centos 7.3. Add also to do this to make it work:
Code:
ln -s /var/run/plesk-php56-fpm.pid /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.pid
(depends of course which version of PHP you use the most via PHP-FPM - in this case 5.6)
