  • 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.

Resolved Automatic update failure

New Pleskian
Hi everyone. I'm hoping I can find assistance here, as my VPS provider cannot assist me with this.

Last night the automatic updater of Plesk failed and I received the following log file. Please see the attachment for the log. How do I fix this?

Something wrong with extension 'Skins and Color Schemes'. I would suggest you uninstall it, then install all updates with

# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

and then install extension back if necessary.
 
I got a similar problem yesterday. Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm concerned.

I'm a total newby here... Igor, could you maybe give me some clearer instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall the extension?

OK - I figured out how to remove the Skins and Color Schemes extension through the Plesk interface. But when I go to ssh and enter this:
plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

I get this: BUSY: Update operation was locked by another update process.

Should I worry?
 
OK... so I'm trying to follow the instructions in this KB: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213917525

When I run: ps auxffww | grep autoinstaller
I get the following:

root 2872 0.0 0.0 16740 932 pts/0 S+ 12:59 0:00 | \_ grep --color=auto autoinstaller
root 1520 0.0 0.0 4508 560 ? S 12:36 0:00 /bin/sh -c "/opt/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller" "--service-mode" "--enable-xml-output" "--ssl-cert" "/opt/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem" "--branch" "release,stable" --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser

Do I need to kill all 4 of those processes?
 
Thanks. I solved the problem, but still a bit confused. Based on this KB: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213917525 I decided to use strace on the processes to figure out if the autoinstaller was indeed stuck. However, my server didn't have strace on it. So I installed it, and as soon as I did the three processes went away. Hmmm... Anyhow, from there I deleted the psa-installer.lock file and then was able to run the autoinstaller and it updated everything happily. So I guess it's all good now.
