• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Hello,

I'm trying to install Wordpress with:
PLESK 18.x for WINDOWS
PHP 7.4

I'm starting the installation in customer panel:

Afterwards the installation is running:

After some time the following page is opened:

How can I identify the rootcause?
 
I have tried to install Wordpress with the "WP Toolkit":

Error message:
"Unable to unpack archive C:\Inetpub\vhosts\***\httpdocs\wp67cc98d30fa4c8.41816230\wordpress-6.7.2.zip to C:\Inetpub\vhosts\***\httpdocs\wp67cc98d30fa4c8.41816230 at (UnpackArchive:: onRunAsUser line 2832) at Unable to unpack archive C:\Inetpub\vhosts\***\httpdocs\wp67cc98d30fa4c8.41816230\wordpress-6.7.2.zip(UnpackArchive:: onRunAsUser line 2835)"

Any ideas?
 
Hello, @Brovning . Could you please double-check the Hard Disk Quota set in Domains > example.com > Web Hosting and make sure it is not too low? If possible, please temporarily set it to unlimited for the sake of testing.

Hello @Sebahat.hadzhi,

hard disk quota is set to unlimited.
I have tried it with another domain. There the installation finished successfully.

Difference:
sub.domain.com --> failed
domain.com --> success

Is it possible to install Wordpress using a subdomain as main domain for the account?
 
Thank you for the confirmation, @Brovning You should be able to install WordPress on a subdomain even if it's set as the primary one for the subscription. The root cause of the issue lays somewhere else. My other guess would be a permission issue. Could you please try running the Plesk repaid utility by executing the following command via RDP:

plesk repair fs

If that doesn't sort out the issue, I would recommend getting in touch with our support team for further investigation.
