  • 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.

Issue Lightsail install: Ubuntu and Plesk

Peter J Murray

New Pleskian
OK, I've gone through the steps to install Plesk on a lightsail instance through AWS. I added the ports and I can SSH in and I ran the install script and got the "secrets".

What is the admin name? I've tried admin, Admin, administrator and Administrator, using the key (after the =) from the SSH session. I changed the 0 to an O in the password on all four as well.

I can't figure out how to copy from the lightsail terminal window. Usually just highlighting with your mouse is all you need, but this ain't working.

Any thoughts? Any solutions?
 
This can't be that hard of a question. I just ran the script again and came up with a different password. I STILL CAN'T GET IN!!! This time I only tried administrator and admin.

WHAT IS THE DEFAULT ADMIN ACCOUNT???
 
You need to to go to the full URL which is given; You'll setup the admin user the first time from there.
