  • 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.

Cannot access auto-installer

CJZ

Basic Pleskian
Plesk 10.4.4 MU 22 Centos 5 Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen


I have been having this problems for months (since 10.4 came out). I am unable to access the web-based autoinstaller. I have checked my iptables and port 8447 is set to ACCEPT ANYWHERE ANYWHERE TCP. This is also shown in the Plesk Firewall table. I did a port check (http://webtools.live2support.com/nt_cport.php) and it stated that port 8447 appears to be closed.

Is there something that I'm missing? Is there a process that needs to be running to listen to the port that apparently isn't?

I can run the Shell autoinstaller fine and the Control Panel still automatically updates itself. If I turn off iptables, I still cannot access it.

Code:
[user@localhost ~]# nmap localhost
...
8443/tcp open https-alt
...
No 8447

The port is opened when one loads autoinstaller via Tools & Utilities > Updates and Upgrades.

Initially:

root@ppu10-4:~# lsof -i tcp:8447
root@ppu10-4:~#

After clicking to link:

root@ppu10-4:~# lsof -i tcp:8447
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
autoinsta 17949 root 6u IPv6 500192710 TCP *:8447 (LISTEN)
