  • 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.

Python27 permission access

Hi all

I'm fairly new to plesk and am just baffled on a problem which has been occurring in recent weeks.

Plesk come's with Python 2.4 installed, however a client had created a Django sites using python 2.7. So using the "Web Platform Installer" i had installed python 2.7.

As default this installed Python2.7 in the root of the C:

Once Python2.7 was installed and running, to get the website to run I had to make sure usergroup psacln would have access to the python.27 directory. Otherwise i would see a server error.

The permissions seem to reset weekly, which baffled me. The only conclusion i came to was that plesk was set to install updated automatically and when these updated get installed, permissions set to anything not in the plesk installation directory are revoked.


Has anyone else had this problem? if so, how did you over come this.
 
To resolve this problem you need to re-install your Python 2.7 to Plesk directory %plesk_dir%\Additional. This folder is allowed for psacln group and permissions are never changed.
