• 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.

  • 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.

New Pleskian
I installed Plesk 9.2 and each time I try to start it I have the below error message. I tried several things, including http://kb.odin.com/article_16_346_en.html

Can somebody help? I am on CentOS 5. Thanks.

[root@kinesante psa]# /etc/init.d/psa restart
PSA is down, performing full restart.

If you can't login to Plesk database with
# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa

it means that you have incorrect password for admin user in mysql database. In other words password in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow and password for admin user in mysql table are different. In this case you should reset password in mysql and you can find solution in the mentioned KB article or with googling.

You forgot to tell what to do if login through
mysql-uadmin-p `cat / etc / psa / .psa.shadow`-D psa
passes successfully.
