  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Workaround to install extensions when it fails under Ubuntu

Hello,



I’d like to share an experience I’ve had when trying to install extensions on Plesk on an Ubuntu system. Perhaps it can help someone. Each time I try to install an extension on Plesk under an Ubuntu system, I face this error message : meta.xml file corrupted. UFHH01 has given me the way to solve this problem talking me of the extension utility. Here is what I do with it :

1) I download the extension on my server

2) I unzip it, create the folders and copy the files following the instructions on the file structure found here :

http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...extensions-guide/index.htm?fileName=71076.htm

PRODUCT_ROOT is /opt/psa on Ubuntu and EXTENSION_ID can be found in the meta.xml file between the <id> tags.

3) I use the extension utility as follow to register the extension ( http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-unix-cli/index.htm?fileName=71031.htm ) :

/opt/psa/bin/extension -r EXTENSION_ID

This way I can use my extensions.

I’ve tried the -i option to install the zip file extension but it fails with the error message.
