  • 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.

sw-cp-server does not maintain the pidfile /var/run/sw-cp-server.pid

Hi there,

From time time we observe the following phenomenon. Am I the only one?

Plesk nginx front-end (sw-cp-server) is running perfectly and listening on port 8443 but the pidfile (/var/run/sw-cp-server.pid) is missing or corresponds to a non-existing process (probably a previous encarnation).

This creates false watchdog alarms and inhibits any changes in Plesk front-end config (e.g. changing TLS certificate) becase a service sw-cp-service stop doesn't kill the process and the socket is already taken.

The only way to come back from this situation is manually killing the actual sw-cp-server process (easy to find through ps or netstat), actually kill it for a second time (the listener is taken over by another process) and start the process with the service command.

The server has not gone through any high load scenario.

Is there a way to fix this?
