  • 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 Cloning Message Issue

MorrisC

Basic Pleskian
When copy a database, plesk would copy it but hung at creating the db user, therefore, the database cloning message keeps on showing

Cloning the database xxxxxx to the database xxxxx. You will be notified of the progress by email (xxxxxxx).

Any fixes ?

*I checked if the database was copied, it showed it did but the user was not created for that newly copied one.

Thanks

further checking, it appears that it is the external mail server setting that is interfering it. I use port 465 with authentication required. It looks like either the firewall port 465 was not opened or the authentication has some error. Which error log should I check for smtp mail problem with MSMTP relay only mailserver (SMTP client)?

Thanks

Final report. If you uninstall dns server and mail server from plesk and use the MSMTP only. You need to make sure your mail relay works....I think MSMTP currently supports TLS only instead of SSL. I am trying to find the msmtp.conf...but i don't know where plesk put it. If you know, let me know! thanks!
