  • 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.

Question Deleted /var/log -> mailman and maillog not working

hansitheking

Basic Pleskian
I had some problems with a backup and the var/log folder was full (400 GB) so I desided to delete it. I know this was no good Idea! My Server is now running againg I had to create some folders inside /var/log until the Server could reboot without erros. My Server is running but mailman can´t be restarted and the /var/log/maillog is empty.

My System is: Ubuntu 14.04 with Plesk 12.5.3

Is there someone how may give me some advice to get mailman running again? It is showing this:
Code:
service mailman restart
 * Restarting Mailman master qrunner mailmanctl  Kein Kindprozess mit der PID 4476 vorhanden
[Errno 3] No such process
Liegengebliebene pid-Datei entfernt.

Maybee someone can post a ls -l of the /var/log directory, so that I can rebuild it.

Thanks a lot vor your help!
 
For mailman it helps to run /usr/lib/mailman/check_perms and then maybe sudo check_perms -f. Mailman is still not starting.
 
Check permissions:

# stat /var/log/mailman
File: `/var/log/mailman'
