  • 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.

ipv6 Problems - SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied

D

Basic Pleskian
Ever since I moved to a server running Centos 7, I have had problems with ipv6. Each time the server is rebooted, the system "forgets" the ipv6 configuration which means that nginx won't start and my web servers don't appear until I intervene manually. This manual intervention consists of:

1/ Go to Tools and Settings > IP Addresses
2/ Select the ipv6 address and "Reread IP"
3/ This displays "This IP address is not configured properly" with a link to repair it.
4/ Click the repair link
5/ Restart nginx

This has been annoying but works. Until this morning.

Last night I ran "yum update" on one of my servers and noticed that it pulled down all of the Centos 7.2 updates. This morning I rebooted the server to ensure that it was running Centos 7.2. I got the usual problems with nginx not starting so I followed the procedure above. Steps 1-3 worked as expected, but when I clicked the repair link, I got the error "Error: ifmng failed: SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied /sbin/ifconfig enp2s0 add 2001:8d8:866:1500::70:9ab3/64 exited with non-zero status 1".

I tried running the command from the command line (running as root, of course) and I got a similar error.

So currently, none of the web sites on my server work. Which is rather sub-optimal. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Dave...
