• 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.

10.2 breaks the centos httpd cgi-bin

HostaHost

Regular Pleskian
Prior to 10.2, which began offering the Parallels-built httpd with SNI support, we used the CentOS httpd. With new installs of 10.2, if we choose to use the centos apache, now the behavior of the psa-suexec prevents cgi scripts from running because the Plesk default for cgi-bin is 750 with ownership set to OWNER: psaserv. With the psa-suexec that comes with 10.2 when you choose to not install the Parallels httpd package, suexec refuses to run them until we re-set the permissions on cgi-bin to 755 with ownership set to OWNER: psacln. This of course leaves you with the choice of either running Parallels' httpd, which we've found consumes huge amounts of memory and takes forever to restart, or we have to manually fix every single site that gets added to correct the permissions.

Same issue occurring on CentOS 6 with Plesk 10.3.1; cgi scripts won't work until the permissions are changed to 755 on cgi-bin and group set to psacln. It would be nice if someone would fix this so it actually works after installing.
