  • 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.

    Issue drwebd fails to start on two debian 10/11 servers since last night

    Sadly, I've already had to post several threads on this topic in the last few years - the way Plesk authenticates drwebd seems to be really fragile and ever again causes problems.

    Issue Messages from a Plesk component appearing on root ssh console

    I've just installed a high-end VPS rented from Strato (Germany), using their "Debian 12 + Plesk" image. It's the latest Plesk 18.0.66. The image had two problems of note: BIND was not selected as a Plesk component, and I didn't add it manually - never needed it before. Turns out, without BIND...

    Question PHP-FPM error log rotation period

    Plesk 18.0.36 changed the rotation of Plesk PHP-FPM error logs to daily - I assume from weekly? I want to go (back) to weekly: I have scripts run by cron which monitor the size of those files and the threshold for complaint is based on a weekly amount of errors. And it's not a high threshold -...
