  • 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.

ODBC Error

InsertCoin

Basic Pleskian
Having an issue with an ODBC. The customer was transitioned to a new Plesk 10 model and then the website stopped working. Checking the ODBC from within Plesk it firstly had a green tick next to it, then testing the connection it gave the error:

Error: Unable to connect to the data source using the defined settings. Server has returned the following error:
ODBCError HY000: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not a valid file name.

Looking directly on the server the ODBC is there and doesn't give any errors.

It seems in the transition to a Plesk 10 model it altered the permissions for the directories, I changed the permissions for the private directory and the website started to work, but the ODBC from within Plesk is still giving the above error.

Any ideas?
 
Thanks for the very fast reply, that fix helped.

To fix this problem please change in the file:

"%plesk_bin%\odbc.conf.xml"

value of property 'curly' for parameter 'DBQ' from 'true' to 'false' for driver
'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)'.
