• 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.

_non_ssl Issue

I TOTALLY agree with you. also, these bugs like the non_ssl issue should have been easily detected by the developers before plesk for windows shipped, i can't see a major bug like this one slipping through any serious testing procedure. but well, there's nothing we can do about it. I hope they offer a satisfactory solution to all of us, that's whats important to me.

btw, do you have detailed info on the IIS workaround? could be usefull in the meantime.

This is what I did - mind you it did not work for all of the sites (could be an error on my end though.

Brief backgorund:
Windows server 2000 / all updates.
dual 3.06 Xeons
3 GIGs of ECC DDR memory.

The walk through -->
Open IIS (this is after you create the client in Plesk).
Click on new / web site.

Fill in all of the information for a new site and point it to the httpdocs folder ( path might be C:\Inetpub\vhosts\thenewsite.com\httpsdocs)

Select the IP that you assisgned it in Plesk (or all unassigned may work)

Finish up by adding the normal values for a site through IIS and close IIS.

Right click on the folder for the web site that Plesk made. inetpub/vhosts/thenameofthesite.com. Click properties and make sure or add:

Administrators
Network
Interactive
Plesk domain user (the user information)
SYSTEM

Click Apply.

I had to reboot for all of this to take affect. Either use the windows "restart" method or reset through Plesk interface.

It worked about 70% of the time.
 
Ty for the info.

Serverbeach just told us that There will be an official announcement on Monday August 16, 2004. about plesk 7 for windows. Going to see what it is before i start messing up with IIS. I am hoping to upgrade if it takes care of the problem.

We could not get 7.0 installed on a Win2K server.

It seems like we may have bought the farm with no animals on this one.

I did recieve an e-mail stating to upgrade to 7.0 though. You think from the information they recieved in my e-mail they would have alerted me to the confilict in OS types.

Next server - will not be Plesk.
