• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Your domain is running on one IP, but your nameservers are by OVH and have a different IP. The SOA of the nameservers is extremely long, 3.6 mio seconds, which is like "forever". Is it correct that you are using and want to use OVH nameservers for the domain?

Thanks for the answer,

Yes I’m using OVH nameservers.
Shall I use mine ? I mean use my Plesk NS ?

It’s not mandatory to use OVH nameservers, I can change if needed ;-)
 
You'll be fine with the existing nameservers. Your nameserver entries look correct, but you should verify that the IP set there is the one that your website is hosted on.

Are there additional websites hosted on the same server? Could it be possible that other users are reconfiguring their domains? I am asking, because this can lead to temporary removal of existing virtual host entry links in the web server configuration. While the links have not yet been rebuilt, the web server would display its default page.

Ok.
Yes, 5 others websites are working fine on this server. Without any problem…

I am the only user, so all configuration should be the same.. I absolutely don’t get what is wrong with this one.

How can I check my links in the web server configuration?
 
When the issue occurs, I suggest to look into these directories:
/etc/apache2/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts
/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts
whether a symbolic link to the domain configuration file of your domain exists.

Also, while the issue occurs, check the Linux processes whether a reconfiguration is going on, e.g.
# ps aux | grep mng

And also look into /var/www/vhosts/system/<your domain>/conf if the httpd.conf and nginx.conf files for the domain exist.

Peter,

Thanks for your answer.

I'v checked all your suggestions below, all seems well configured... Still facing the same issue.
 
I definitely fixed that.
Just needed to reload Apache, from the admin panel ....

Tools -> Services -> Apache [Reload]
