• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Issue Website Importer broken in 17.5

As you suspected this may not necessarily be applicable to the patch KB you linked to above.

What does the directory structure of the source website look like? If you use the FTP credentials that you're using for the import process in an FTP client, what's the top level directory displayed?
 
I just tested this with another Plesk server. Had to disable FTPS. First it errors out and the extra two fields appear for directory and URL. I tried combinations of everything. Obviously on this test I was trying to drill into httpdocs.
 
The migration debug log might help - While a bit obscure and likely irrelevant, try checking to see if there are rewrite rules in the document root (i.e. look for instances of mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file) and try temporarily disabling the rewrite rules before attempting the procedure again.
 
There are no rewrite rules. This just doesn't work.
