View 13 RepliesPlesk Panel 12 uses a proftpd FTP server, with the TLS module pre-installed and configured.
Many questions and/or problems arise when trying to connect to the FTP server over a FTPS connection. In (almost) all cases, the disability to connect with FTPS is due to
a) the lack of configuration of passive ports, AND
b) firewall settings, enabling connections through before mentioned passive ports.
The passive port range can be configured by
adding a line to /etc/proftpd.conf, stating: "PassivePorts <start> <end>", OR
adding a separate file with name <filename>.conf to /etc/proftpd.d/, with the contents of <filename>.conf stating: "PassivePorts <start> <end>"
And note that
- <start> is the first port of the port range, in theory any value above 1050 can suffice,
- <end> is the last port of the port range, any value below 65000 (!) can suffice,
- the extension .conf is required when using a separate config file,
- the directory location /etc/proftpd.d/ is required when using a separate config file,
- one should always limit the port range, i.e. it is not desirable to open up a lot of ports,
- it is desirable to have the <start> value above 20000, in order to prevent conflicts with other programs, using a specific port (for instance, port 8443 is also being used),
- it is not necessary to restart proftpd after configuring the passive ports.
The firewall settings have to be changed to allow connections through the passive ports that have been opened for FTPS connections and note that
- only open up the port range (not more) in the firewall settings,
- it is only necessary to open up ports in the firewall settings of the FTP server,
- it is not required to open up ports in the firewall settings of the sending server.
Many issues have been arising when setting up the FTP Backup Repository.
In general, the passive mode checkbox has to be selected, when encountering issues.
The explicit use of the passive mode allows for proper configuration of the FTP Backup Repository and note that it does not matter whether FTPS or normal FTP will be used.
I update the backup of whole server (the file is .xml.tar)
Now how can I restore all my domains, server.configuration and so on?
I'm running low on space ever since switching to incremental backup. I don't want to switch back to the full backups because the gzip was killing the server for an hour every night...
I have the following setting turned on:
Backup SQL Databases : "Per Account and Entire MySQL Directory"
Will I get a full backup if I just do "Per Account" or am I missing something if I set it that way?
I have some extra space on The Planet's NAS backup at /mnt/backup but not enough for the full backup. If I could split the backup in two that could work as well.
I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...
I have 2 problems:
Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.
Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.
I have a 6GB backup file created with another Plesk Backup Manager, now I trying to upload this backup file to my Plesk Backup Manager but after upload 3% I am getting "413 Request Entity Too Large" error, I tried with disable NGINX but still getting this error.
how can I resolve this error or is their any other way to upload my file on backup manager?
I see that Backup Manager have a file size restriction of 2GB how can I increase this?
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).
The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.
I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.
I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).
Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?
2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?
Does anyone know of a plesk addon that will allow for easy configuration of various mail applications, sorta like cPanel's auto configure option.

I have installed Parallels Plesk 12.0.18 installed on my Windows Server. I have found issues with my DNS and SOA records having issues it says I have not configured my DNS and SOA records when I do a DNS diagnosis.
setup my configure the records for me correctly so that my domains issues could be solved. You can see a link below to know the errors I have for my domain name. I have hosted multiple domain names on the same server with Plesk.

Where the file that holds PHP fastcgi configuration is located. I was told its here but it's not
/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf.
I have to modify the two apache settings LimitRequestLine and LimitRequestFieldSize. Strangely, the setting has to be made to the first VirtualHost that gets loaded and it will then be changed for all virtual hosts. I don't understand why that's the case, but I was able to verify it works on a local test server.
But how do I find out which virtual host is loaded first? I tried with default of course, but that one isn't it.
Or how to make the setting to apache?
I run Plesk Panel 11.5 on Debian 7
I just installed Plesk 11.0.9 Update #8 on a CentOS Linux Server and found a new FTP-server running and listening on port 21. I wanted to deactivate it or at least change the port number to anything else. But in the config file /etc/xinetd.d/ftp_psa there is a comment:
#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,
#SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST AFTER YOU UPGRADE PARALLELS PLESK PANEL.
So I can't deactivate the FTP-server with the line "disable = yes" because the default file is restored after a while (I can't pinpoint the event when it happened). In the Plesk frontend I can't see any possibility to deactivate the server or change the port.
In the file above, there is mentioned another config file "server_args = -c /etc/proftpd.conf" but changes in that file are ignored for whatever reason. There I changed the port number but without success. It's still listening on 21 even if the file says otherwise.
Reset postfix configuration in plesk 12? I have some misconfiguration on smtp banner and hostname so I prefer to reset all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Appears on the plesk home page
ACTUAL RESULT
Error displaying as above
EXPECTED RESULT
No error should be displaying, I haven't seen this before and we didn't receive an email with error descriptions. Is it safe to regenerate the broken config files / all of them? t
I installed another php version a while ago. Today I am trying to add ImageMagick to this php version but after launching the following command
Code:
./configure '--with-libdir=lib64' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.6.5' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php-5.6.5/etc' '--disable-debug' '--with-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/php-5.6.5' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/php-5.6.5' '--enable-gd-native-ttf'
[Code] ....
It sends me back this error configure:
Code:
WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-fastcgi, --enable-imagick
In horde how we can configure that it will send email using the logged in user login to authenticate and send the email, currently it using localhost to send the emails.

I added users directly to mailenable (using their migration utility to import from an old mail server which plesk does not support). The domains exist in plesk but not the individual email users/mailboxes.
Now I want to add those email users to plesk but it doesn't let (not surprisingly), when I try to add a user it returns an error: "Unable to update the mail account properties:mailmng failed: MEAOPO.Mailbox.AddMailbox failed"
My question is: How can I add the users that already exist in MailEnable to the plesk configuration? (i.e. ignore the error and add the user to the plesk database, or even better yet if plesk can read the configuration and add all users)
Tthe plesk kb articles suggest running mchk.exe but that is designed to take users from plesk and add them to mailenable, I need the reverse).

I have following problem when I try to cange the configuration file for Nginx in Plesk.
Details:
- Using Wordpress
- vServer
- PHP is handled through Nginx
- Memcached is enabled
To use the caching plugin "Cachify" in combination with memcached, the nginx configuration file must be edited. Following config should be used:
Code:
## GZIP
gzip_static on;
## CHARSET
charset utf-8;
## INDEX LOCATION
location / {
error_page 405 = @nocache;
[Code] ....
When I try to save the new config, following error appears:
Invalid nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] duplicate location "/" in /var/www/vhosts/systemmydomain/conf/vhost_nginx.conf:8 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
How can I use the necessary configuration? I used google before, but some people said, that the server templated needs to be edited?
Yesterday I migrated a domain with the migration tool from a Debian 7.6 Plesk 12.0.18 MU35 box to a Debian 7.6 Plesk 12.0.18 MU35 box
This domain have a simple DNS configuration. The A registry for the domain.com was an own IP instead the IP of the server. Rest of the DNS configuration was the same.
After migration the A registry for the domain.com was an own IP too (as expected) but also the A registry for mail.domain.com
Before migration, in the old server:
A domain.com x.x.x.x (own ip)
A mail.domain.com y.y.y.y (server ip)
After migration, in the new server:
A domain.com x.x.x.x
A mail.domain.com x.x.x.x
The migration had changed the IP for mail.domain.com for the IP of the A registry for domain.com
Very strange. I double-checked it (as the domain in the "old" server was suspended)
Client don´t have access to the control panel, so no changes done.
