  • 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.

Data Disappearing from Plesk PSA Database

M

Mike Legg

Basic Pleskian
A couple of days ago a whole lot of data disappeared from one of our PSA databases!

I first noticed something was wrong when the "Activate mail service on domain" was greyed out for all domains on the server, and that some of the options on the Mail Settings page were saying "not supported by the mail server" when I know for a certainty that they are.

So I went to "Settings" >> "Server Components" and I saw that when the page reached the "Java" option it errored and didn't load any further.

When I looked at the "components" table in the PSA database a whole lot of entries were set to "not installed" when they should have had proper values.

I manually re-entered the missing "components" data from a backup from 2 days ago, and restarted Plesk for good measure. But when I restarted Plesk - the data disappeared again!

So we deleted and restored the entire PSA database from the last good backup, but as soon as we restarted Plesk the data disappeared again.

This means that many features within Plesk no longer work.

Has anybody experienced this before and is able to offer any suggestions on how to fix it?

Plesk 9.5.4
Windows 2008(32 bit)

Even if I stay logged into Plesk, restore the missing entires to the "components" table and then go to the "Settings" -> "Server Components" page all of the data that I've restored to the "components" table reverts to "not installed".
 
Parallels Support fixed the problem.

They noticed several hung defpackagemng processes in task manager. They ended them all and everything works now.

Beats me why there were several hung defpackagemng processes, but if anyone else has this problem that appears to be the fix.
