  • 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.

SuexecUserGroup, bad user name

Hans_Meiser

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have manually removed a user from the Ubuntu OS. The user isn't present in the Plesk-UI too.
On my Vhosts SuexecUserGroup is still set to this non existent user. So the apache can't restart...

Apache message:
bad user name xxx
Action 'configtest' failed.

Are there corresponding UI-fields in Plesk or can I edit any Plesk-Db-Table to fix this?
How is SuexecUserGroup set by Plesk?

Thx, Hans Meiser
 
This issue can be resolved by following the instructions posted in this KB - http://kb.odin.com/en/119552
Thank you for your response.
Actually I don't want to reintroduce the deleted user. This also could be done on OS shell.
Would SuexecUserGroup change if I change the username in db-table sys_users?
Could I change the Domainowner from within Plesk-Panel?
Or do I have to create a complete new Domain entry under the new user name?

By the way. It seems a bit inconsistent. Right now I have my new user name in Plesk Panel but not in db-table sys_users, while my old user name resists there, but isn't present in the Panel.
 
Indeed, I removed via UI in Plesk domain and user, so no OS user, nor DB user is anymore in the system, I checked it in mysql too, but still error occurs.
Solution was to remove file:

/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/TLD.conf

where the missing user was still mentioned (Suexec). So it should be still a bug in the removing procedure, as long as the Apache vhost conf-file for the removed TLD remains there.

119552 should also be updated
