  • 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.

Plesk can't restart.

Hi,

My server was rebooted and after that Plesk won't start anymore. I'm using Plesk 7.5 under FreeBSD. Here is the message:

Can anybody help?

I have faced that problem before. However, it may be slightly different from yours. The reason that it failed me last time was that I was editing some configuration on MySQL database. As a result, it failed to restart on the MySQL, resulting Plesk unable to start.

You might like to check what you have done on the MySQL just before you did your reboot. If you can start your MySQL, Plesk will work.

Thanks
