  • 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.

Autoinstaller hangs after downloading new autoinstaller version if a web server reconfiguration is in progress

TITLE

Autoinstaller hangs after downloading new autoinstaller version if a web server reconfiguration is in progress

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Obsidian 18.0.31 to 18.0.32
CentOS 7.9

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Tricky issue. When running the upgrade installer while a long running web server reconfiguration process has not yet finished, the autoinstaller hangs after downloading the latest autoinstaller version.

It seems to depend on how long the other task is running. On the server affected by the issue, the reconfiguration task was running for approximately 25 minutes, because the server has many domains. Afterwards, autoinstaller did not continue.

The autoinstaller process had to be killed. Then, after a restart of the upgrade process, all went through smoothly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Let the server reconfigure many domains so that it takes a long while to complete the reconfiguration process. While that is going on, start an upgrade.

ACTUAL RESULT

Autoinstaller hangs and does not pick-up process again after reconfiguration has finished.

EXPECTED RESULT

Either show that the installation cannot be done while a web server reconfiguration is in progress, or attach autoinstaller to the restarted web server instance after the web server reconfiguration process has finished.
