  • 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.

Problem starting courier Pop3 server

Kroptokin

Regular Pleskian
When I try to start the server I get:

courier-pop3d: bind: Address already in use

The only thing I may have done recently to change the server was run yum update (CentOS) - and I did not stop any services before doing this. (I read something which suggested that might have been a problem).

So - I'm trying to re-start the courier-pop3 server and not sure how to proceed.

Versions: Plesk 12.5.30 and CentOS 6.7

Thanks.

You can kill the process manually.
For staters list the process IDs running with:
Code:
ps -A | grep "courier"

Once you have it's respective proc IDs then you do
Code:
kill -9 *PID*
 
Thanks abdi

The only one running was courierlogger - killing that didn't enable me to start the courier POP3 server.
