• 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.

and even if try to repair, it's not, any help in this regards
 
Some basic checks to do:

What's the output of
# service apache2 status
?

In Tools & Settings > General Settings > Apache Webserver what is the setting in Apache modules for the MPM mode?

The symptoms sound like a part of Apache is missing. As if someone manually intervened and removed part of it or updated it. Maybe try to fix it with

# sudo apt-get install apache2-bin
# sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork

?
 
Hi,

we don't know what append to the server, in the morning it was working, but suddenly it's not, I tried to restore a backup on the server level from 2 days back, same issue showing,

once I'm opening the Apache settings in plesk, I'm getting 500 server error
 
Syntax error on line 38 of /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/feds.ae.conf:
is a different error than described in this thread. Could you please check what is in line 38 of that file? Or: Remove the file altogether (you can always recreate it by "plesk repair web feds.ae.conf" later.
