  • 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.

Plesk update 8.1.1 - Unable to start VPN service

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

I just updated from a host from 8.1 to 8.1.1 via the command line autoinstaller. It worked pretty well, but I can't start the VPN service called psa-vpn anymore...
It shows this error: "psa-vpn: OpenVPN failed to start".

Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
 
If you see something like this in /var/log/messages:

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: OpenVPN 2.0.1 i686-pc-linux [CRYPTO] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Mar 22 2007

Apr 5 14:33:34 openvpn[24974]: Exiting

It means that HOST is not specified. In Plesk admin CP -> Modules -> Virtual Private Networking -> Preferences try to specify two necessary addresses:

Local peer address *
Remote peer address *

After that service should be started successfully.
