  • 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.

Resolved Problem with command in Scheduled Tasks

Mathias

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I was just trying to set up the cron job for my phpfox software, which has to be entered as a command using curl:

curl -s https://www.domain.com/cron.php?token=123456

When I try to run this cron task, I have to wait 60 seconds and get an Apache error in the log files, because of a message saying the time exceeded. Then I looked in the php settings, if curl is disabled, but it wasn't.

What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Mathias
 
Make sure that domain.com ports 80 and 443 are not firewalled from your Plesk server. Try to check it with something like:

Code:
# plesk sbin fetch_url "https://example.com"
 
Thank you very much, Igor! That solved the problem. I had to create a new custom firewall rule allowing forwarding of port 80 and 443.

Wrong information. This did not solve the problem. I am still getting Apache errors after 60 seconds showing a 503 server error.
