  • 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.

Where does plesk store its data?

In plesk 7.5 Plesk stored its information in the mysql database on port 8306 in a database "psa". However, Plesk 8.1 does not have a psa database.

All I want to do is get a list of the domain and domain_id that I host! Simple right?
 
update

Figured it out. Turns out that Plesk 8.1 defaults do a different database management system (either MS SQL or JET) so I used the Plesk Reconfigurator to change the database back to MySQL like it is in 7.5

Now I can see the psa database in MySQL and collect DOMAIN_IDs

Got a question for you since you have now done this and I did not want to do this with a production server until I knew it would work. Did it transfer all the data from the original db it was using in JET/MSSQL to the MySQL db without any hassles?

If so I might run the reconfigurator on our production box sometime and convert it over.
 
yes it did. I did it on my production server after testing on a non production server.

It said it had 260 some minutes remaining with no cancel button as the processor grinded but it transfered everyting over to the db i specified. But it only took 15mins or less.

the hastle I had with it was the password being correct. I had to reset/set the password for the admin account in MySQL before I started it. It would also disable the Plesk MySQL server in Services. But it only disables it if it doesnt work or you didnt put the right password in it. *shrug*

I've done this for 2 of our production servers so far ... and have mail creation almost automated :)

Anyway. Good luck.
