  • 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.

Resolved Wordpress Installation

Regular Pleskian
Plesk Onyx 17.0.17, Ubuntu 14.04

Another strange issue in Plesk Onyx.

I try to install Wordpress through applications in a subdomain and I get this error:

Error: The following error has occurred during the installation of application:
Installation of WordPress at http://sub.domain.gr/ failed. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
what(): boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied: "/opt/psa/var/apspackages/0e7be317-612f-4af4-a8c2-0357ce348dde/cache/htdocs"

I tried to install another application (Drupal) and it installed successfully.
 
Something wrong with permissions there. Fix it with

# find /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/ -type f -a -not -perm 644 -exec chmod 644 {} \;
# find /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/ -mindepth 1 -type d -a -not -perm 755 -exec chmod 755 {} \;
 
We're seeing this on Plesk 17. No-one's modified the permissions on these folders (as they simply don't have access to them). Can you confirm that this is indeed a Plesk bug and that it'll be fixed in a microupdate?
 
I confirm that I have issues installing WordPress too on Plesk Onyx 17.5 stable on Ubuntu 16.04
It look like a bug... It happens on every domain and for every subscriptions. It seems to me that it was introduced very recently after I updated Plesk.

- When I try installing WordPress using the quick install link, it works but when I try installing from the Applications panel it does not work and throws an error "
Filesystem error: boost::filesystem::copy_file: Permission denied:"

@Mehdi Salem please be sure before this issue that there is correct permission for apspackages directory. It should be exactly like:

# ls -ld /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/
drwxr-xr-x 6 psaadm psaadm 4096 Feb 11 06:46 /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/
 
Yes @IgorG, I have looked around and checked permissions before I post this and looks like permissions are correct but I still get the issue:
ls -ld /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/
drwxr-xr-x 16 psaadm psaadm 4096 Jul 12 05:42 /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/

Not sure my issue is permissions because why would the quick install works and not the custom?
