  • 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 Windows 8.6 to 9.5.2 Errors

ViaHosting

Basic Pleskian
When I tried to migrate domains from Plesk 8.6 to Plesk 9.5.2 I got the following problems.

1) Subdomains at subfolders are created with the folder name same as subdomain name.
ex: Plesk 8.6 -> subdom.domA.com = /httpdocs/mysubdomain
Plesk 9.5.2 -> subdom.domA.com = /httpdocs/subdom

2) MySQL database are migrate, but the data restored is older. (problaby be using the last full server backup)

3) Content of /private folder is not migrated

4) The migration finished with the following error:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<execution-result status="success"><object name="xxx.com" type="domain"><message code="ExecCmd::ExFailed" severity="error"><context>plesk::ExecCmd::reportError</context><file>.\ExecCmd.cpp</file><line>65</line><text>Execution of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\bin\domadmin.exe" --update podiumimoveis.com -passwd "" -status true -dashboard false -manage_dashboard false -stdgui true -email "" -pname "" -phone "" -fax "" -city "" -address "" -company "" -country BR -zip 20000 -state RJ failed with return code 1.
Stderr is

</text></message><message code="ExecCmd::ExFailed" severity="error"><context>plesk::ExecCmd::reportError</context><file>.\ExecCmd.cpp</file><line>65</line><text>Execution of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\bin\domadmin.exe" --update xxx.com -pname "" failed with return code 1.
Stderr is
Unable to update domain administrator account: Wrong syntax for command's '-pname' parameter
</text></message></object></execution-result>
 
The problem in that 'Personal name' is not mandatory parameter in Plesk GUI, but it is mandatory for migrator. Moreover migrator requires it to be not null.
We have already submitted request to developers regarding this problem. It is under their investigation now. I hope it will be fixed soon.
