• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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 copying between subscriptions missing in Plesk 12?

Glyn_Jenkins

New Pleskian
I've been happily copy databases between subscriptions in Plesk 11.5xx for years but having updated to 12 the feature no longer works.

In the copy database screen when the 'local MySQL server' option is selected in the drop down the 'Copy to existing database' radio button is disabled.

My service provider tells me this is a feature change.

Surely this can't be right?
 
Looks like the 'Copy to existing database' function only works for existing databases in the same subscription.
However - you can workaround this by selecting 'other' as the target database server. Enter 'localhost' as
the target database server and insert the credentials of the database user and (existing & empty) database from the desired subscription.
Please keep in mind, that you have to create an empty database in the target subscription first.
