  • 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.

AWStats access to previous months

New Pleskian
Hi,

I had upgraded recently to Plesk 8.6.0.5, had have some issues with AWStats as you may see in http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=90933

Well, a customer complained that he could access www.domain.com/plesk-stat/webstat to see his stats but when he tried to check previous months it always asked for a user and password. My surprise was that the same problem was on all the domains!

After searching for a while the conclution I had was that on each domain the IUSR_user got the correct permissions and I observed that when you ask inside AWStats for a different month it tries to run /cgi-bin/awstats.pl so I assumed that it was a problem with Perl running permissions.

On %plesk_dir%\Additional\Perl there were the users psaadm and psacln with ALL THE PERMISSIONS DENIED!

The solution: I made a copy of Perl folder, renaming the original folder to Perl-org (just in case), the new Perl folder had heredated the permissions that were already fine, and now I can ask for previous months on each domain.

If someone thinks that this is not the best solution maybe because it is "dangerous", I will be glad to hear it!

Hope this will help anyone.

Henry.
 
HenryH,

Just to give some comments on this - permissions of psaadm and psacln should be Read, List Folder Contents, Read&Execute on that directory, in other words, the same as in the parent directory, Additional. So this would be the correct procedure to fix this kind of issues.
