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 recently wen't with a Windows VPS and am wondering the best way to do backups to a remote computer (hopefully without buying software). Any suggestions?
I want to save the access logs of our websites on an external server. If I do this now with the default setup, the gets overwritten every day. The desired file name format whould be: websitedomain-tld-access-2014-10-24.log
How can I tell Plesk to do this and how can I make sure the statistics keep working?
Display some text in a web browser from a file called text.txt
text.txt will have many lines and some of them I do not want users to be able to modify and overwrite.
config_item_1=user can edit config_item_2=user should see but not edit (could be on any line) config_item_3=user can edit config_item_4=user can edit
The user has made their changes in the web browser and clicks submit. I then need this info to be saved as the text.txt file however some checking needs to be done first. Anything matching config_item_2 should be removed. This could be on any line. Anything not matching should be permitted and added.
i use the following perl script(created by me) to save server load every 30 minutes to a log file i just keep it running in the background(probably would be more effective using cron)
I am using a flash media player on one of my domains that streams music. The flash player would be like domain.com/music
The mp3 files are located in domain.com/music/mp3
The flash player just reads the title of the song and displays it in the media player.
I have used htaccess already to disable indexing, but the file name that shows on the media player is the exact name of the mp3, so I'm pretty sure people will be able to easily figure this out and start downloading our music.
What else can I add to htaccess to allow localhost access to the music, to stream with the flash player, but wont allow downloading of the mp3s.
When I download a file from my server, only specific extensions are working. This is really annoying since I want to be able to see how much time left to finish a download.
For example I uploaded a video with .vob extension file.vob --> does not show filesize when downloading
If I rename the same file to different extension: file.avi --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.mp3 --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.rar --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.mp4 --> does not show filesize when downloading file.wmv --> does not show filesize when downloading
These are direct download links, not using any download scripts or anything. Why are some extensions displaying the filesize and some not displaying them? I am using Apache 2.x server.
My server works fine like expected, but isn't uploaded to ftp. It was in 11.0.9, same after upgrading to 11.5.29.
The ftp repository in plesk shows a manually done older backup, so ftp connection seems to be ok.
In ftp repository settings I get an error, if I try to safe anything, ftp server, user and password are correct, manual ftp connection is working fine.
The error is:
Code:

We set up a Plesk 12 server for web hosting purposes only.
All mail-related services, exception from "smtp server" and "Plesk milter" are disabled or uninstalled.
For specific domains, we want to prevent the useage of the php mail function with "localhost" to avoid problems with outgoing spam by unsecured scripts. Instead, we want to force webmasters to use external smtp servers.
Is there any directive or setting on domain-level that we allow for this limitation?
I've generated migration files on a source server that runs plesk11.5..I've transfer these files to my new server (plesk 12).I've logged into plesk on the new server, go to migration tool and create a new migration using local files.with chrome dev tools. i can see the following a post request is sent to :
/plesk/ server/migration/start/ the response is a redirection ( http status 303 , location = /admin/backup/restore/type/import/id/migration )a
After several attempts to this url I've got : admin/backup/restore/type/import/id/migration net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS..is there a way to restore the data using the command line ?
I'm running a backup of a subscription and I checked "Create a multivolume backup" and set the "volume size" to 1024. Once the backup is complete the backup still shows as 1 volume, not broken up into 1 GB pieces.
Since upgrading to v12* I have had issues backing up to my FTP repo, the errors are limited but how to come over it?I have searched and checked all common issues, space on drive, space on destination etc.
I'm using on virtual machine the last version of PLESK 11.5.3 update #42 and UBUNTU 12.04.4 LTS provide by a main Italian ISP, the MySQL version is 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.12.04.2.I'm trying to enable the local-infile option in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file:
[client] local-infile = 1
[mysqld] local-infile = 1
When I'm restarting mysql service (with command "service mysql restart") the PHP script works correctly and "SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES" results "ON", but when server reboot or some hours by the restart the PHP script return to not work correctly and appear the standard messagge: "The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version".Maybe the problem is the start of mysql on boot? I haven't any errors in the mysql or system log!!
There is a strange problem with the new feature fail2ban. I have noticed that a local ip address (ip address from the webserver itself) was added to the blocked ip addresses of fail2ban now for the second time. What I can see is that it was the recidive jail.
If there is nginx used as reverse proxy you get a "502 Bad Gateway". Any way to find out more about the reason why an ip address is added to the list of blocked ip addresses in fail2ban?
keep a local and remote backup of certain subscriptions or at least have a full server backup on FTP.
I have a livedrive.com reseller account which allows be to quite cheaply add 512GB of remote storage accessible through SFTP, FTP and WebDAV. I created this partition and added it as a server-level FTP repository in Plesk 12 (latest build). During testing I added a firewall exception for traffic on the FTP IP-address and figured that I had to put the FTP repository in passive mode to properly connect.
After setting this up I ran a configuration only backup to test if everything was working properly. The backup was created properly and can be accessed through the FTP as well: success!
My second test was running a full server backup through the manager. The ±40GB file was created properly (I could see my disk usage increase and decrease through new relic monitoring) and supposedly transferred to the FTP repository according to Plesk.
When I look at the FTP or the Plesk Backup Manager both indicate that the full server backup is 0kb in size.
After this issue I figured: I really don't care about a full server backup, I mostly care about a specific set of subscriptions that have new content on a daily basis and need to be backed up properly as well. Those subscriptions are already on a daily or weekly backup scheme that places backups on the local repository.
What I would eventually like to do is create daily or weekly backups on the local repository and create weekly or monthly backups on the FTP repository for those specific subscriptions, but unfortunately you cannot (by default) setup Plesk to automatically backup to local and remote based on different or even the same intervals.
And this is the more important question: How to be able to create/setup a backup automation that keeps local and remote backups for the same or different intervals? Either through the Plesk interface, a plugin or a script?
Running Plesk 12 on CentOS 6.6
Update:
Just tried running the same server wide backup, but this time as a multivolume backup. This resulted in the following error:
