• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Failed To Update Plesk

New Pleskian
When I logged in today I saw this message:

"Failed to update Plesk. To solve this problem, you can send the update log to Parallels support. View the update logs (Dec 5, 2014). Copy the logs to your computer before you close this message. To close this message, click here."

Here is the error log - how do I fix this issue:

Hello Liam_Carey,

you could add in "/etc/hosts" :

72.21.81.253 autoinstall.plesk.com

... if you experience problems while connecting to a Plesk - server... but you could as well try your update/upgrade/patch later again, because such issues normally are for a short duration ( some DNS - server might be under high traffic or any other related issue, that causes to an unexpected false domain resolution ).
