  • 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.

adding domain results in domain not shown on webinterface

Basic Pleskian
TITLE:
adding domain results in domain not shown on webinterface
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk Onyx
Version 17.5.3 Update #44
ubuntu 16.04
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
adding a domain like:
xyz.domain.tld
as new domain results in no error
and i get an email:

A new domain name has been created.
Domain name: demo.mydomain.tld
Domain name owner: Administrator
IP address associated with the domain name: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

but domain does not show up on 'websites and domains' page.

then i tried to add as subdomain.
but in the dropdown list the xyz.domain.tld seems to DO exist.

anyway,
i put:
[xyz] and [domain.tld] from dropdown

then i get:
A domain with such a name already exists.

result:
i cant configure the xyz.domain.tld domain
and also i cant delete the xyz.domain.tld

so i'm in a catch 22 situation.

how can i solve it?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
add domain:
domain.tld

add domain:
xyz.domain.tld​
ACTUAL RESULT:
domain xyz.domain.tld does NOT show up in listing on 'websites and domains' page​
EXPECTED RESULT:
domain xyz.domain.tld shows up in listing on 'websites and domains' page so it can be configured for hosting.​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
in psa->domains there is a record for xyz.domain.tld
and also a corresponding record with dom_id in hosting table.

What is your Plesk edition? I mean, do you add the domain xyz.domain.tld as a new subscription or how?
 
its a Web Pro Edition (30 domains).

i added by going to:
Websites & Domains -> and click 'add domain' button
 
I can't reproduce it.
When you create xyz.domain.tld as domain, what is your 'Location of the website's files' option?
 
how can i find out? (since the domain is not listed on Websites & Domains tab... i have no link to the settings of this domain)
 
in the hosting table on psa db it says:
/var/www/vhosts/xyz.domain.tld/httpdocs in the field www_root
 
i think the problem is the domain 'domain.tld' already existed and now i can vaguely remeber that somehow in the past it was not possible to add a subdomain of an already existing domain as new domain.

but this time it allowed it to add xyz.domain.tld as a new domain and plesk got confused.
