  • 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 nginx and antivir do not start after restart of server

I recently rented another Linux server from Strato.
These can come with Plesk pre-configured.
By default the nginx reverse proxy is not installed although the previous 4 servers did so.
Btw, is this a change in policy of Onyx or Strato??

I noticed now that after a restart of the server both nginx and the plesk antivirus don't start.
Starting it using /etc/init.d/nginx start or using the Plesk management platform brings it up.

I could solve it by writing a watchdog for it, but that's not how it should be.

I also noticed that the server is now in runlevel 5 (by choice of Strato).
A symlink in /etc/rc5.d/S03nginx is created for nginx at the time of the install.
S03 is a very low number. May that be a problem??
In other Plesk installs that number is S85

For the /etc/init.d/drwebd there is no symlink created in /etc/rc5.d/ or /etc/rc3.d

I hope I've given enough info
 
Hi ,
In centos7 you can do this command :
systemctl enable nginx
systemctl enable drweb (or systemctl enable drweb.service)

This will enable auto start of nginx and drweb on boot.
 
Hi Kamtec,

It's not about fixing the startup.
I can do that.

It's about fixing Plesk so that it makes sure nginx is started if it's configured to use it.
This way it doesn't take others by surprise. I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't get a server that occasionally boots. I already gave this server back, btw, so I'm about to configure a brand new one.

Besides that. It's an Ubuntu server.
