  • 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.

Error while installing Plesk 12.5.30 for my first ever time (Pulling my hair out!)

New Pleskian
Hi All,

As a newbie installing plesk for the very first time ever, I am somewhat pulling my hair out! After re-formatting my entire server assuming its something i have done wrong and loosing all the data due to plesk explaining you must format the server as appose to uninstalling!

Anyhow after the entire re-format and reinstall of windows + plesk, One is no better off in regards to the errors i am experiencing.

The installation console provides the following error and advises me to seek support.


installing Web Presence Builder Core...
MSI: Error! Critical action 'Create Web Presence Builder database...' failed:
Command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\local_mysql_helper.exe" --create-database-and-user -database sitebuilder5 -database-user sitebuilder -database-user-password * failed with code 1.

As a new leaner to plesk ive been pulling my hair out for the last 8 hours!

Kind regards

Have you tried install Plesk without WPB (former SiteBuilder)? Just try do not select this component for installation in Autoinstaller.
 
Please check MySQL log file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Databases\MySQL\data\*.err
