  • 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.

Help with sorting out
 
Thank you for the report @The 8th. Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the issue on a test environment and frankly this looks like a permission issue rather than a bug with Plesk itself.

  1. To resolve the "There are incorrect permissions on some items: /var/lock", please try applying the resolution from the following guide.
  2. Regarding the "The permissions on the /etc/domainkeys directory are incorrect" error additional details will be needed in order to potentially address the issue. Please run the following command via SSH and provide us with the full error message related to the incorrect permissions in /etc/domainkeys:
    plesk repair fs
  3. Regarding the errors for individual domain names they indicate that some files/directories have permissions that aren't necessarily secure. This can be on purpose, as some web applications use different permissions, and fixing them all could break the pages fully or in part. They should be checked one by you/your developer, and can be left as is if unsure.
 
Thank you for your response, i have attached a screenshot for the result of this command
  1. plesk repair fs

then I run this command :
  1. plesk repair fs -system -y

do you think the issue might be using Cloudflare or IPV6?Screenshot 2024-09-17 193030.png

thank you for your response, i have attached some results as you instructed.
 
No, I highly doubt that Cloudflare or the IPv6 configuration on the server have any relation to that issue. Judging by the screenshot it looks like the permission issue with /var/lock is fixed after running plesk repair fs -system -y. Do you still get the error?

the output result looks fixed as per the screenshot I attached but the issue is still not solved, all WP sites on VPS are still errors in the config file.

AS Expected something related to Cloudflare, I changed the SSL certificate that I got from CloudFlare and uploaded it to Plesk to let's encrypt and turn off the CF proxy for the main host and restart the Plesk server. It's working now, that is still a strange solution.
