  • 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 Nightmare Please Help

New Pleskian
Hi guys

Really need some help here because I am not sure what is going on.

I have a VPS through a third party web hosting company who, because the server is unmanaged, are basically doing squat to help me.

It all started when I decided to install WordPress on the server. I should say that at that point in time my server was running Plesk Panels 10.2. The Wordpress installation I attempted was that which was available through Plesk Control Panel but I was unable to complete it because the PHP version registered with Plesk was too old.

So, after some research, the best thing to do seemed to be to upgrade Plesk to 10.4.4, which offers support for PHP 5.3 which is more than enough.

After the upgrade completed (with no signs of error) I could no longer log in to Plesk Control Panel and was getting a HTTP 500 error relating to php-cgi.exe quitting unexpectedly and this seemed to be in relation to php5ts.dll.

Did a bit of research around the internet, tried a few things to resolve and could not sort out the problem.

This is where I should have come to you guys straight away, but instead I chose to complete a further upgrade to Plesk Panels 11 and wouldn't you know it I've swapped one error for another.

What I am now getting is "This file is part of Plesk distribution. It cannot be run outside of Plesk environment". Again, I've done some research and tried some things to resolve but no joy.

To be honest, I don't even know where to start in diagnosing the problem, much less resolving it and would be grateful for some help.

Thanks in advance

Richard
