• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

    Installing GIT as Server on Plesk / Centos 5

    Currently Plesk has no specific support for version control systems. You can just treat a Plesk server as a 'normal' server in this case and follow the regular documentation for the version control system you want to use.

    mysql will not be free in 2012

    No one will be able to suddenly make you pay for the free and open source MySQL software you already have on your server right now.

    How do i change open_basedir?

    You need to run websrvmng after adding a vhost.conf to a domain to add it to the Apache configuration: http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.5-administrators-guide/59208.htm By the way, for security I recommend adding the directory you want PHP to be able to access to...

    Disable e-mail notification for scheduled task

    Add > /dev/null at the end of the cron command to ignore standard output. If you also don't want an e-mail when an error occurs add >/dev/null 2>&1 instead to redirect both standard output and standard error to the bit bucket.

    BIND need to run when using external NS?

    Running a local caching nameserver makes DNS lookups a lot faster (set 'nameserver 127.0.0.1' in /etc/resolv.conf), which is especially nice for things like SpamAssassin which does a lot of them. You can still use external nameservers for your authorative DNS if you don't want to use the...

    httpsdocs and httpdocs the same - errors!

    Instead of using a symlink, I'd just tick 'Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content' in the domain's web hosting setup in Plesk. I'd undo the symlink first.

    How do I map a domain to another on same server?

    It sounds like all you need to do is add domain2.co.uk as a domain alias to domain1.co.uk in Plesk.

    CentOS 3.9 and Plesk 8.2 to 9x upgrade

    Plesk 9 doesn't support CentOS 3.x. The system requirements only list version 4.x en 5.x for CentOS: http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/rn/en-US/plesk-9.5.4-for-rpm-based-os.html#3 CentOS 3.x reached end of life in October 2010, so the OS is itself also no longer supported...

    Upgrade to 10.1.1 fails because of php 5.2.x

    I don't like running unsupported versions of software on production servers. AFAIK the PHP team has announced there will be no more releases of PHP 5.2, so you're on your own when new (security) flaws are discovered in PHP 5.2. Unless you need 5.2 and can't move to 5.3 yet, I'd roll back to...

    Horde attachments lost

    When forwarding an e-mail with attachments in Horde it seems the attachments will be sent along as well (if you choose to forward including attachments), but in fact they are not: the receiver only gets the body text. This is on Plesk 9.5.4. I have searched for this problem, but haven't found...

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    Actually I was talking about SSH. You login via SSH, modify sshd_config and restart sshd. Keep your current SSH window open and try to login via SSH using a second window. If that doesn't work you at least still have that first window with a login session to fix things. A way to access a...

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    It's midnight here and I'm about to go to bed. From the top of my head (untested, no warranty, etc.), you'll want to execute the following as root from cron to 1) remove all lines containing PermitRootLogin from sshd_config and 2) restart sshd:

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    An engineer in the datacenter should be able to login on the machine locally, change the SSH configuration and reload the sshd service for you. If you have Plesk running (and did not explicitly disable managing the root crontab through Plesk) you have one other option: use the cron scheduling...

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    Commenting out means not setting a value, which means the default is used. So you can either set it 'PermitRootLogin yes' explicitly or comment out that line, same effect.

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    Yes, as far as I know that's correct. But if you really want to disable public key authentication, just set 'PubkeyAuthentication no' in sshd_config and reload the sshd service. Don't forget to leave at least one method of authentication enabled if SSH is your only way into the server. You...

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    AFAIK the banner doesn't interfere and you don't need to disable public key authentication to use password authentication. But sure, you can always disable public key authentication as well. Just make sure you know the password to get in without a key. :) You're doing an interactive login, but...

    Support SSH keys for Migration Manager

    You don't necessarily need to disable public key authentication, but you'll need to enable password authentication. Set 'PassordAuthentication yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and reload the sshd service.
