• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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 [Plesk 17.5.3 microupdate] mysqld gets restarted when applying the microupdate

Guys, I think this one beats my worst expectations: may I ask what is the technical reason for the Plesk updater restarting MySQL as part of a *micro* update? Can you imagine you may have clients with large databases, large InnoDB tablespaces and restarting the services on those servers may take many minutes?
Point in case: on a CentOS 7.4 running 17.5.3 #MU38, upgrading to #40 takes down the 2 most important services we're running Plesk for: www and mail. Thankfully Bind doesn't need the database backend.
What is the justification for restarting mysqld as part of the update?
Thank you Plesk for ruining my day again with yet another poor example of half baked engineering. NOT!
