  • 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.

PSA Panel has error 500 after upgraded to 11.0.9.

I've found that following file is missing,

/etc/psa/private/secret_key


How can I regenerate the secret_key file? Can I copy it form other server?

Thanks.
 
Have you tried fix unsuccessful upgrade with bootstrapper repair procedure?
Also /etc/psa/private/secret_key is missing on the box. To generate the key it is needed to run

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/encrypt_keygen
 
Thanks. I can access to the Panel after creating the secret_key file.

For some reasons, the 11.0.9 patches removed the secret_key file.
