Not sure why, but for some reason lately our Plesk installation randomly sends us notification emails about alarm level changes which go from Green to yellow, yellow to red, then goes back to normal over time. No changes were made on the server for these constant changes and emails to occur. We have a customer who also has the same issue.. Both focus primarily on nginx with little to no usage of apache.
This problem has been reported before Plesk Panel 11. What's the current solution for this problem? I've got this problem since I upgraded to Plesk Panel 11.09.
I'm getting spammed with emails like:
Server health parameter "Services > Apache memory usage" changed its status from "green" to "yellow". Click to expand...
I had Plesk 10 installed on my openSUSE system (was a low version, maybe 11 or less) and then decided to upgrade to 11.5. So I did distribution upgrades to openSUSE 12.3 and everything went smoothly, except for some services like mysql and php. So I used Plesk autoinstaller to fix the php error and edited an outdated line in mysql configuration and both services ran smoothly!
Then I downloaded Plesk autoinstaller and ran the autoinstaller, but was surprised by this error message:
===> Checking for previous installation ... found. ERR (3) [panel]: Error during product key mode determination, details: Unable to connect to database: ; trace: #0 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/functions.php(2821): isPpaKeyRequired() #1 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3(11): require_once('/usr/local/psa/...') #2 /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/cu.php(5): require_once('/usr/local/psa/...') #3 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng(8): include_once('/usr/local/psa/...') #4 (main)
Unable to connect to database:
- My MySQL version is: 5.5.33 openSUSE package - I did run mysql_upgrade with my admin username and password (password from: /etc/psa/.psa.shadow) and it worked successfully and fixed all of the errors, I did so after running the auto installer first, but then ran the installer again and the problem was still there - I can access my web page, but it still doesn't connect to MySQL either.
I believe this is a problem with MySQL, but how can I make sure or detect what exactly the problem is
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.
We're working with a new Plesk 12 server, I have migrated a bunch of sites from an old server, and all SSL enabled sites and certs have come across correctly, however if I add a new site, and SSL cert, the cert is not selectable at domain level, and is not being served at all.
My process is:
At settings level - create new CSR and enter certificate received from provider.
Then select this cert on the IP address management screen.
This has always worked, and presumably still should. But at domain level, Plesk is only allowing me to select the default cert. And even though I have linked the cert to the IP, it is not being served to browsers.
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?
When I create Mailbox for customer, spamassassin have status (default):
HTML: Status false The score that a message must receive to qualify as spam What to do with spam mail move Add the following text to the true beginning of subject of each message recognized as spam Modify spam mail subject text ***SPAM***
Black list ================================ Server-wide black list:
User's black list:
White list ================================ Server-wide white list:
User's white list:
But i want it:
HTML:
Status false The score that a message must 7 receive to qualify as spam What to do with spam mail text Add the following text to the true beginning of subject of each message recognized as spam Modify spam mail subject text ***SPAM***
Black list ================================ Server-wide black list:
User's black list:
White list ================================ Server-wide white list:
User's white list:
Not Move, it only text at "What to do with spam mail text"
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
After changing website domain name (from development one -dev-domain.com- to production one) we have this error in fail2ban.log :

I was wondering how to change the notification destination email for alerts sent by Plesk Health Monitor? I tried to modify the XML configuration file with this at the beginning:
To be clear i don't mean the wp-config.php admin password for mysql but the wordpress Plesk admin account that is associated with Log in button
For some reason my user has lost his password and is not able to use the Wordpress forgot password - wizard form at the page where you normally logged on.
I have tried to reset the password via Change Account on the WordPress Installation and it came back with the message
Error: Unable to find the specified administrator account in WordPress. Specify the username of your administrator's account in WordPress. This account will be associated with Plesk.
I have tried to add another admin via MySQL with this [URL] ... and that didn't work either.
Now with Plesk 12 (and I suppose all previous versions) we can't change the SMTP banner to something other than the hostname.But If server host different IPs with different domains,only the primary IP do not have problems for email delivability all other domains are marked spam.This is a critical issue for email deliverability. Very critical issue that should be solved asap.the only solution that we found with our systemists is to remove Plesk, but sure it's not what I would like to do.
