• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

    Watchdog Plesk Server notices

    The seems to be a strong correlation to the web services restarts and the backups I was running automated backups on the morning of December 31st. The Watchdog report for that morning shows: Watchdog is running since Jan 1, 2013 01:00 AM. Watchdog is monitoring services: Web Server...

    Backup-Manager: Restart of Apache & Plesk

    I too have noticed this I just posted a reply to another thread like this. I'm also noticing a pattern of Apache and nginx tending to yo-yo during the evenings when I'm running automated backups. This started happening when I updated from Plesk 10 to 11. Could there be some kind of resource...

    Watchdog Plesk Server notices

    I'm having similar issues as well Since my update to Plesk 11.0.9, I've noticed similar waves of yo-yo activity for Apache and nginx. The occurrences happen almost exclusively at night. Perhaps it's not a coincidence; but the evenings where the automated backups are being run seen to also be...

    Side-effect of update to Plesk 11: mysqlcheck won't run using admin user

    It was "enhanced security mode" That was the irrevocable question that I answered. Does anyone know if this "enhanced security mode" might have anything to do with my question?

    Side-effect of update to Plesk 11: mysqlcheck won't run using admin user

    I have a VM at a hosting provider that unfortunately freezes now and then. When I does, I log into their server admin panel, reboot the VM and log in via the command line and use mysqlcheck to repair the database tables of a couple of touchy customer sites. However, since the upgrade to...

    Confusion over what version of PHP I will have after upgrade

    I'm not so sure Thanks again for trying to help. The reason why I'm asking is that php-mcrypt and the PHP 5.3 add-on via Plesk 10.4 are mutually exclusive. I was curious if this had been resolved for Plesk 11. Unfortunately I don't have a test server at the moment that I can use to do a trial...

    Confusion over what version of PHP I will have after upgrade

    Very helpful info. Here's a follow-up Another factor that I neglected to mention is that I also have php-mcrypt installed. Is that going to disappear, prevent the update or be included in the new PHP version? Anybody know? This is another important factor to consider when or if I update.

    Confusion over what version of PHP I will have after upgrade

    I'm running Plesk 10.4.4 on CentOS 5.8 and am considering upgrading to Plesk 11. However, I have a number of websites that I am hosting that actually require that I stay on PHP 5.1.6. My understanding is that the version of PHP is a function of my operating system and not Plesk. (Having said...

    Suddenly can't get access to mysql via command line

    I'm rather perplexed. This morning I went to use mysql via the command line while logged in as root (CentOS 5.6 with Plesk 10.4.4 and all the updates): [root@vserver ~]# mysql -uadmin -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)...

    php exec("ps -p {$pid}") not working in cron

    Good advice - thank you! Actually, I'm the system administrator :) However, your point is well taken. Access to system resources is generally a bad idea. I'll research filelocking instead. Much appreciated!

    php exec("ps -p {$pid}") not working in cron

    In another thread, I describe some software that I wrote in PHP to automatically export (via FTP) the backup tar files that Plesk is storing locally on my server (by pretending that it's actually a remote server). One issue that I was having is that sometimes it takes more than 24 hours for all...

    Offsite cloud storage via FTP for plesk backups

    Further follow-up. Due to the lack of reliability of ftp transfers by Plesk to iozeta's cloud storage, I have developed a scheme that involves some custom PHP software than runs as a cron job. More details can be found at my blog: recneps dot com

    Better tools for remote backup repositories needed

    Not a client ftp resume, plesk itself I'm not talking about a resume of the download of the backup container file; but rather instructing Plesk to resume a transfer that got aborted where Plesk itself was in charge of the transfer. Thanks

    Better tools for remote backup repositories needed

    If a transfer of a large backup set (let's say, 20GB in size) gets disrupted during transfer, the files sit in the server repository for the client. This requires manual intervention and the danger of running out of disk space. How about giving me some controls so the ftp can be restarted? Thanks!

    Offsite cloud storage via FTP for plesk backups

    I selected iozeta After a lot of searching, I ultimately settled on iozeta, which is an arm of livedrive. I've been using it for a few weeks now. Overall, it seems to work well enough. However, I'm going to start a new thread about my frustration with Plesk when an ftp transfer dies midway...

    Offsite cloud storage via FTP for plesk backups
