I'm using Earthlink to host a website, but I think this question is valid for any host.
If you have a hosting account that's on a windows server/MS Windows based and want to switch to a Linux/Unix server account, how would you do this without any downtime?
I assume when they switch the account, all DNS related entries have to be updated so you won't be able to reach the website for a day or so.
I have used e2fsck on linux server hard disk (CentOS 5.0) and the result :
=================================
Warning! /dev/sda2 is mounted. Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check. /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Deleted inode 19137773 has zero dtime. Fix? no
Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Block bitmap differences: -(16332803--16332804) -(16332823--16332826) +(16345421--16345424) +16347209 Fix? no
Free blocks count wrong for group #498 (25950, counted=25949). Fix? no
Free blocks count wrong (37023218, counted=37023216). Fix? no

Free inodes count wrong (19162546, counted=19162545). Fix? no
/dev/sda2: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********
I don't know the exact meaning of the displayed result , does it mean bad sectors? How much the e2fsck is reliable? Is there any better Linux utility to check bad sectors on Western Digital HDD?
Trying to access any APS installed in Plesk i obtain this error: Internal error: Package with UID 'fb00f4ad-620a-4052-96b7-398bd99d9d6d' not found.The error panel.log:
[19-Dec-2014 13:17:19 Europe/Berlin] Exception: Package with UID 'fb00f4ad-620a-4052-96b7-398bd99d9d6d' not found. file: /usr/share/aps_php/aps_php.php line: 12519
[code]....
This post change the error, but i think that is not the correct way: [URL] ..... Any way to reinstall/regenerate APS database and anything related with it?
I define expiration date for my package in my domain and after that date my domain still active. I think this problem related to statistic. When I run this command manullay i'v got the error.
My System: Ubuntu 12.04 Plesk 12.0.18 Update #18 Only Webserver no mail
What I want: I have an old sha1 certificate and I would change this for the whole server.
What I have done so far: I have already uploaded the new sha256 certificate with a new private key to plesk (I can not simply replace the old one, plesk does not allow me to upload a new private key).
Then I set the new certificate as standard certificate and pressed the "secure pannel" button.
After that the panel uses the new certificate.
Then I set in "Tools & Settings -> IP Addresses" on both IP addresses the new certificate.
Reboot
But now the "Tools & Settings -> SSL Certificates" shows me that the old certificate is still used 2 times somewhere. But the Interface does not show where it is used. How can I find out where this certificate is used? I want to remove the old certificate from the server.
When changing the subscriber of migrated (or new subscriptions) from a normal customer to another normal customer or reseller customer I sometimes get the following message:
Code: Reassigning Selected Subscriptions ERROR: PleskFatalException Picker not supported
When going back to the subscription overview I get the following error message:
The Plesk Health monitor is sending alerts to the wrong email by default. How can it be changed?hanged" notifications by "Health Monitor" are triggered by the default address that has been setup in My Profile > Profile & Preferences or is there a different way of changing this setting.
I am having a Plesk server and when I scanned it with tools like OpenVas, It detected the following vulnerabilities with CVE acronym. As the corresponding ports and services are being controlled by Plesk, I require to patch it.URL....As you can see this vulnerability has been hit on port 106. I checked the Plesk server and found the port 106 being used by service "poppassd". This was nothing I installed and came along with the Plesk installation. Hence just wanted to make sure whether it has a patch from Parallels. As per my investigation this service is used for changing mailbox passwords and I am currently using Roundcube client. How to patch this vulnerability.
As per the solution in pic, the vulnerability "SMTP antivirus scanner DoS" can be resolved by upgrading or installing anti virus for Plesk mail server. I am ready to buy Dr.Web or Kaspersky from Parallels. But wanted to make sure whether any of the above antivirus can resolve the vulnerability.
I've upgraded from WS2008R2 & IIS to CentOS and Plesk 12.Now, I wanted to change the webmail link for all domains to mail.domain instead of webmail.domain. I've followd 2 guides to do that: URLs....Everything went smooth, but now Horde and Roundcube look like this (even when I restarted the whole server):
I have a Plesk 12 server running that works great. But the problem is that whenever one of my shared hosting customers changes something out a domain or subdomain, all the other sites on the server give a 502 error.
The reason why is clear to me: apache is reloading its config while nginx is still active, but sees apache as being down and therefor throws a 502 error.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Because it's happening a lot and people are sending in 'site down' reports while there's actually nothing wrong with the server or their site.
We use our own backoffice for remote logins. Passwords for panel login are encrypted. Is it possible to remove the option for customers to change their password for panel login so they will stay in sync with our own backoffice?
If it's not possible, is there a way to decrypt the panel login passwords, like there is for the admin-password (/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password)?
I have installed Plesk 12.0.18 on my server and want to change the hosting-type from "Forwarding" to "Web hosting". I change the type via "Websites & Domains" view (see attachments).
After I insert username and password, I get following error message:
Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('home' = '')
Deleting the domain and creating it from scratch is a bad option. I would have to create all e-mail accounts and migrate the data.
The IP addresses assigned to our servers have changed so it's time to update the default SPF information contained in the DNS records for ALL of the domains hosted on our servers:
However, when we update the resource record in the DNS template and then "Apply the changes to all zones...",
Panel will apply changes from the template to all DNS zones including the customized ones. Note that user-modified records always remain intact. For example, if the template contains a new record that was already added by a customer, Panel will keep the customer's record.Click to expand...
Have some very important questions regarding changing plesk ports and creating full backups.
1. When changing plesks port number, what exactly will it effect? Will it effect auto updates, etc.?
2. When creating a backup, I'd like to backup the entire server to rollback at anytime when changes are made to core files, is this possible?
3. With backups, somehow I'd like to schedule backups to possibly make nightly copies to an external hard drive on my computer for a fail safe method just in case the server happens to crash and I'd need to restore to another server/service. How would this be possible?
Is there not a way to change the default for the spam assassin level when creating a new mail account and still have the ability to change it individually if needed?
I changed it in the spamassassin config file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and in the server mail settings, but it still reads 7 when I create a new account and go to turn on the spam filtering. Does this value come from the db?
I can write a script making api calls? but surely there is a way to change the defaults and still have the ability to change these from the default for each account if needed?
Seems everythings is working normal when ignoring following error message, but everytime I add or change mail settings for a domain, I am getting this error:
Internal error.

When I change an email address on a user's account I get this error?

today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.
In your opinion how much downtime is too much downtime?
1, 2, 5 hours over the course of a month? 99.8%, 98%, 95% total uptime too little?
I mean I can understand technical difficulties and I am willing to be patient with my host especially when the service (when it is up) is good but where exactly do you draw the line, start asking questions, or canceling that contract and demanding your refund?
i have 150 domains my server I wish it to migrate to a new server I can do restore domains, mail and users and data, stats to new server. I need minimum downtime so I need your's advice step by step which service need to restore first so my user get minimum downtime.
i've recently been experiencing a lot of apache downtime on my eUKhost VPS. anyone else having this problem? it's driving me crazy and i'm thinking about moving.
Recently our provider has been having unplanned long outages (along with a complete server move that took several hours). This has turned out uptime statistic from exemplary to mediocre (100% to <99%).
As we are a hosting company and normally have an extremely good amount of uptime, when is it time to give up on the provider? I am extremely concerned this will become regular and our uptime will simply continue to go down the drain, however, they have been good and have been the main attribution to our 100% uptime (along with our great technicians and hardware).
It's not even been a month that I started subscribe a windows 2003 VPS hosting with them and now their website is gone and I am unable to access my VPS server
