Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Change Location Of Mail / Maildirs And SELINUX
Mar 2, 2015
I have changed the maildir in Plesk according to [URL] ..... Everything works like a charm, however selinux doesn't allow access to the new directory. That means we get a permission denied and no mail is received at the server anymore.
Old location: /var/qmail/mailnames/
New location: /mnt/bigstorage/mailnames/
tail -f /var/log/maillog:
Mar 2 13:38:42 srv2 postfix-local[5983]: postfix-local: from=example@example.com, to=example@example.com, dirname=/mnt/bigstorage/mailnames/
Mar 2 13:38:42 srv2 postfix-local[5983]: cannot chdir to mailnames dir /mnt/bigstorage/mailnames: Permission denied
If we disable selinux, everything works, however this is not the best practice.
How can I fix this error without disabling selinux?

I have several users using WordPress that has been installed using the Plesk panel. They want to change the directory that WordPress is installed to. I know if that is done that WordPress will no longer be able to be managed or updated using the Panel. Is there any way to change the folder structure so that this application can still be managed by Plesk?
I'm using Postfix 2.7.1 on Debian 6 with Plesk 11.0.9.
Currently the text of a bounce mail shows:
This is the mail system at host example.org.
Your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
<_plesk_bounce_example.org@localhost.localdomain> (expanded from <ttt@example.org>): This address no longer accepts mail.
And I'd like to get rid of address <_plesk_bounce_example.org@localhost.localdomain>.
I added the bouce file template to Postfix's config by:
I have set the values for outgoing mail control low enough to catch the problems without affecting all but one of my clients. I have given him increased limits on certain of his mailboxes.
However when he wants to modify the mailbox, for example change the password he gets the following error.
The maximum number of outgoing email messages (in a pink box)
"The value must be in the range 0..50. Only the Plesk administrator can adjust this setting."
He cannot change the password for this mailbox.
Is there anyway of setting a custom limit on an account and also allow the client to retain the ability to reset his own password.
I wonder if there is any chance to change the domain that is being shown as the incoming/outgoing mail server to users of the Plesk Panel, when clicking on the "Info"-Icon near an e-mail-account in the mail list (see screenshot).
We only have a SSL certificate for one domain and want our customers to use this domain in their mail client settings, so that the client trusts the domain.
As the admin user, change the setting for a particular email account called "The maximum number of outgoing email messages" to a value beyond the default. For example if the default is 35, set it to 75. This is common -- often we have customers who send larger quantities of messages than the average user.
Login as a reseller with access to manage the email account and attempt to change any *other* value. For example, you could completely ignore the outgoing mail messages value and change just the Auto-Reply value
Plesk refuses to allow the change and kicks me back to the first tab with the following error:
The value must be in the range 0..35. Only the Plesk administrator can adjust this setting.Click to expand...
I have a client on a dedicated IP, today we needed to downgrade the web hosting plan. As the web hosting plan puts users on a default shared IP, this plan change also changed the dedicated IP to the shared one causing some propagation issues for a small period of time.
I have contacted WHMCS about this asking if they had a way of changing the clients plan but keeping the IP address intact as this could lead to some very undesirable outcomes. They explained that it is not their fault and to contact Parallels.
I know I can change the plan directly in Plesk however by initiating the plan change via WHMCS, everything is automated.
I have a new DS with Plesk 12. I needed to change the default /var/www/vhosts location to a different physical drive, with more capacity.The larger disk is mounted as /disk1, so I created a folder here called vhosts, moved everything from the existing /var/www/vhosts directory, then I mounted /disk1/vhosts as /var/www/vhosts. See my fstab output below.
I then edited /etc/psa/psa.conf to update the VHOSTS location as per [URL] ...., and restarted Apache, MySQL and reconfigured domains.I thought all was OK, and that Plesk would just see /var/www/vhosts as normal, but I proceeded to migrate domains from another server to this box, and found that whilst some sites were working OK, many were not.
I was finding that existing config directives that used <Directory> were being ignored or seemed to disappear.All sites with .htaccess files stopped workingWe would get Apache / PHP errors saying that files could not be accessed as they were not in the allowed path for the domain. Plesk seems to be logging, reporting, and handling files as if they were in /disk1/vhosts, not the usual location. I have got sites working by adding /var/www/vhosts/ domain and /disk1/vhosts/domain to the PHP Settings page as allowed paths.
I have checked in the httpd.conf for each domain, and they all list the site document root as /disk1/vhosts/domain, not /var/www/vhosts/domain.It's as if Plesk is ignoring the change in /etc/psa/psa.conf.
All I want is for Plesk to think that /var/www/vhosts is the document root for all domains, and not do anything with /disk1/vhosts. I have many sites with hard coded links to included files in /var/www/vhosts/domain, and I dont want to have to rewrite them all to use /disk1/vhosts.
I have had to stick HTTP configuration directives on nearly every site, and add these entries to the allowed paths box, which obviously I should not have to do. Can any Plesk / Linux gurus tell me what I need to do to fix my problem, get sites working in /var/www/vhosts, and have Plesk allow .htaccess files to work without me having to add "AllowOverride All" to every domains??

we have identified a number of customers with weak passwords - we wish to send them an email and then wait 1 hour - then change their passwords to the new password we have identified - due to them being across multiple domains, we don't want to do this via the PPA web gui - it would take quite a long time.
What is/are the commands for changing mailbox password for SMTP/IMAP/POP3??
i.e., is there a PPA command for changing both sides of send/receive?
I have installed a new SSL cert and tried to assign it to an IP address.
Plesk says "Information: The properties of the IP address .... were changed."
But it seems the SSL cert was not changed.
Running in mysql the following query
select d.name from domains d inner join hosting h on h.dom_id = d.id where h.certificate_id = <id of new cert>; gives:
Empty set (0.00 sec)
I changed the cert for the IP where all my domains are so it should show the domains using that IP/cert. Running the query using the ID of the old cert lists all the domains on that IP/cert.
At some point, not sure when, PHPMyAdmin's (as accessed through the admin panel by clicking on a customer, manage hosting, databases, etc) permissions have changed such that I cannot view, edit or add MySQL routines/procedures. This appears to have occurred system-wide, though I have not checked every database on the server.
Is there a fix to get the permissions set so that I can make these changes again?
I recently changed the main domain url from website.com to www.website.com, this resulted in 404-errors when i navigated to wordpress...
I found a solution on the internet and updated the records with phpmyadmin [URL] ....
When I click on Login at the the WordPress Installations I'm still being navigated to the old website url. It supprices me that there is no option to change it on Plesk level after wordpress is deployed.
How can i change or update the wordpress path once it is installed in Plesk?
I'm using CentOS 6.2, maybe there is a config file or an database for Plesk?
I dont find where or how can I change default mailbox size, traffic and disk space for each domain in Plesk 12 Web App Edition, I only have unlimited by default.
I am trying to move a particular domain to a different subscriber but am getting an error. I haven't had any problems with this function before.
Code:
Warning: Some problems were encountered when attempting to assign some of the subscriptions to a new owner.Unable to continue subscription transfer: this subscription requires more resources than can be provided by the new owner's provider.
Warning: Unable to continue subscription transfer: this subscription requires more resources than can be provided by the new owner's provider.
All of the resources it shows before and after the transfer are the same. What it is referring to?
I've looked a good amount of time trying to change/find where its stored. I've looked in var/qmail and there is no alias folder..We're running postfix/dovecot ....
I'm trying to copy a backup from the FTP server to the production server but I don't have enough space in the tmp folder.
There is a way to change where the backups are temporary until the hole backup is on the server? In case the only thing to do is to change where the tmp folder is mounted. This is a production server, I won't like to do it without knowing all the steps.
where do I find the setting to change dns records in plesk 11.5 ver ? I do not see it, it is missing in settings of domain under tab: "Websites and Domain"
We have a website under httpdocs/. We can change/delete files with a ftp user : "ftpold". All is ok. We must create another ftp access for another company which can access only to httpdocs directory (not to logs/, error_docs/...).
So we have create a ftp access in Plesk. But with this ftp connexion, we can not update/delete files ou update rights.
So we decide to change rights on the files/directories under httpdocs with the new ftp access :
httpdocs# chown -R ftpnewsacln *
The is no errors but the files:directories are always with the old ftp user :
I need changing the nginx port. I've followed various threads and have created a custom nginxDomainVirtualHost.php file at: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain, while the website indeed moves to the port I have set, a second nginx thread starts at port 80 and takes over in it's place.
I need to put varnish at port 80 and cannot do so until all services relinquish control on port 80.
Followed clues here: [URL] ....
some here: [URL] .....
Turn's out to be able to change the nginx port to a non-standard port you need to edit 6 files
