  • 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.

Database already exists

Parallels Plesk Panel, 9.5.4, Windows Vista

I am using a web version of PPP 9.5.4, provided by my hosting company.

I had previously created an MSSQL database and a MySQL database.

I tried to create a new MSSQL database, but I get an error that the (whatever name I enter) database already exists.

I can still create a MySQL database.

I thought I might only be allowed to create one MS SQL DB, so I deleted my other (test) database.

From the home page, I click on "Databases" then "Add new Database"
The database name field already had "admin_". I delete that and type anything like TestDB, and select MS SQL Server as the type.
I get the following error:

Error: Database TestDB already exists.

Any ideas?
 
Two reasons.
1. DB exist in plesk db, ran the command "select * from data_bases where name='TestDB'; > if the DB is displayed, ran the command "delete from data_bases where name='TestDB'; > in such cases there is a chance that, the old DB user will still be existing in psa, remove that too via "delete from db_users where login='yourdbusername';
2. DB would be existing in MSSQL server, go to MSSQL management studio >> Databases >> look for the db name, if found, remove it ; sometimes the mdf and ldf file will still be there, go to Data directory and remove those files too.

If you are hosted with a webhosting provider, tell them these
