  • 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.

Resolved New installation (re-install) in Linux

Penge58

New Pleskian
If I want to do a new installation in Linux.
Is it just enough to delete vhosts folder with all the subfolders in it before I do a new installation or do I need to ask my provider to reinstall the whole VPS with Linux and everything ?
 
Thank you Igor.

That looks easy.
However I got an error. Look at the attached image.
I used the command : plesk installer --remove-everything
Ans Plesk is still there.

When I first installed Plesk it was under
/var/www/vhosts/....

Then I wanted to move it to another HDD mounted as disk2
I used a script/procedure from support and moved it to
/disk2/
But I see now that the files are directly under disk2 and not disk2/vhosts/......
Maybe that is the problem ?

/var/www/vhosts/....
It is not the location of Plesk itself. It is location of vhosts, files of hosted websites and generally, it does not affect Plesk installation/uninstallation.
 
So this is not a problem then ?
Do you know why I get this error saying that plesk is not installed ?
 
Hmm...not sure I follow you here Igor.
I haven't tried to uninstall anything except from the command you pointed me to.
Plesk is still installed and working.
However the folders at /var/www/vhosts (my old path) are stille there. But they are empty. Would that be the reason for "Plesk is not installed" ?
Do I need to specify that plesk is under /disk2/ ???
 
Would that be the reason for "Plesk is not installed" ?
I don't think this is the reason.

Do you have the same error if you run command like:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

?
 
There is no centos-release file under /etc/

If you mean /etc/ from root

Oh, so this is Debian/Ubuntu? But the KB article said:

Note: Due to a Plesk Installer bug with ID PI-498, it is not possible to remove Plesk installed on Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

- Debian 10
- Debian 9
- Debian 8
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 16.04

As a workaround, it is recommend to redeploy a server from scratch.
 
Aha.....so that is the reason then.
I wonder when they will fix this if its a bug.

So then I will ask my provider to do a clean installation of the VPS and start over from scratch
