  • 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.

Issue Web Application Firewall - Can't change to "Comodo (free)" [modsecurity_ctl: failed]?

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I'm trying to set my rule sets to "Comodo (free)" but I keep on receiving the following error. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? This used to work fine before but now I'm having this issue all of sudden.

Code:
modsecurity_ctl failed: ERROR:root:Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/modsecurity_get_vendor_ruleset/modsecurity_get_vendor_ruleset.py", line 53, in main

Thank you!
 
@IgorG I've tried this doesn't seem to work. I get the following response below and then when I try to set to "Comodo (free)" I get the same error.


Thank you!
 
In this case, I can suggest only contact Plesk Support Team.
