  • 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 Moving Mysql/MariaDB databases to external server

chrisguk

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have until now the default mysql setup with Plesk for example the DB is defined as localhost. I have decided that I wish to move the whole database instance to another server for security and redundancy purposes.

Is there a guide available or do you have any guidance on how to move everything to a mysql standalone server? this includes the pleskdb itself (so everything)

Many thanks
 
You can add to Plesk and use external database server for user databases. But internal Plesk database 'psa' must be located only on local database server.
