Plesk 12.x / Linux :: External Access - Diverting To Default Page
Jun 2, 2015
I am currently unable to access the Plesk control panel except from the web server itself. When I try any of the following options, all work on the server itself but externally all I get is the default Tomcat page.
I don't know if the problem is on the server itself or something within our firewall - we use Microsoft Forefront TMG. The port 8443 is open, and the Tomcat page is being served. All websites working fine, both internally and externally. The server itself is in a DMZ on the network.
The server is running Centos 7 with Plesk 12.
I just noticed that when adding a new domain, I am warned that the domain resolves to another IP address - the external one. Currently, the IP address set up in Plesk is the internal (192.168...) address. Could it be that I need to change this to the external?
I have suddenly lost all of the websites on the plesk panel server 12.0.18. One of the domains was being used to spam and so I started blocking stuff and removing some of the offending files and folders and the spamming stopped.
However it got to a point where I needed to restart the server and although it was working before the restart, once I did restart it it stopped working. All domains are loading nothing and the access_log looks like nginx or FastCGI is trying to redirect the page somewhere. The bootstrapper repair log file states:
"Details: PHP Warning: include_once(Template/Writer/Webserver/Apache.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Loader.php, Line: 97"
I upgraded from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9 and saw no errors in the process, everything was fine. However when I checked the sites after, all of them (including sub-domains) were showing the default domain page. All the files are still there no problem, and as a test I deleted a subdomain a recreated it and it worked fine.
I have a feeling it's something to do with IP addresses (I currently have two set up - most sites use one and about only 5 use the other) as going to the subscription and changing the IP address over to the other one then back to the original seems to make the site show up for most sites. I can't do this on all sites though - any commands to reconfigure everything and get it all back in to place?
I have added name servers and they should be propagated fully as I created them 3 days ago.
The issue is that the domain using these name servers loads fine and then after awhile it goes back to the Plesk default page.. Then after awhile it shows again, etc. I have run reconfiguration command, have restart bind and Plesk. Not sure what else I can do.
This is sort of a test domain I wanted to get working before switching my main sites to these name servers.
domain is webdevoman.com
nameservers are ns1.talkdevelopment.org and ns2.talkdevelopment.org
I am migrating my old environment from Plesk 10.4.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 to Plesk 12.0.18 on Ubuntu 14.04. I was able to migrate the sites from the old server over to the new server with little issue. The new server configuration with Apache and Nginx wasn't working for me, so I disabled Nginx and reconfigured all domains. I moved each site over one at a time and tested them, resolving issues when they arose, and moved on to the next domain. One thing I did not notice at the time, was the server would intermittently display the default parallels index.html page on the sites.
I would test one site, see it is working, and move to the next, etc. I would then retest the sites and they would display the index.html page. I have tried reconfiguring each domain, restarting Apache to no avail. One site I have is a static site, whereas all of the others are Drupal sites. The static site would display once Apache was restarted, but will go back to the default page after a while. The same thing occurs with the Drupal sites as well. It is just like the sites are shutting down for some reason.
I have checked the log files, and have not come across anything out of the ordinary. I have followed several threads which discussed DNS. The issue occurs when DNS is turned on, and when it is turned off. I do not use DNS on the server since the DNS records are being managed elsewhere. I have even added the correct name servers under each subscription in our system. I have used the Web Server Configuration checker and receive one warning. I followed the steps in [URL] .... I queried the psa database retrieving an Empty set (0.00 sec). Nothing seems to work. One minute the site is there, the next is the default page. As of right now, I am unable to put this server into production since it is not behaving as it should.
i have a domain registered within PLESK having the same name as the server itself. After a short period of time the domain shows up the PLESK default page instead of the original content located in the vhost httpdocs directory.
To restore the content it's possible to deactivate and re-activate the domain from the customers control panel. But after an amount of time the default page comes back.I first recognized the error after the update to PLESK 12.
i've migrate from plesk 11.5 (centos server) to plesk 12 (ubuntu 14). The migrate process doesn't give problems but now (and for all domains), web service doesn't work well in fact works but all domains resolve /var/www/vhosts/default/htpdocs/index.html and not /var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/
The rest of services (mail, ftp...) seems to work ok. I don't know if it's important but as before migrate, we use and external DNS server so in plesk i have DNS server down.
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?
I've seen a number of exploit attemps on the default website which I believe has come via direct access via ip address i.e http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.I have tried to block with .htacess but it seems to be being ignore (possibly by parallels or nginx configuration).how I can block access to the default site to all but 127.0.0.1, server external ip and my ip?
I have test server with > VMware CentOS + Plesk 12...And after reboot, plesk "localhost.localdomain" show me "Apache 2 default page"I do this > service httpd restart, and after all ok. (Show Plesk Default page) no apache page.I want normaly reboot server and show "Plesk default page" no apache...
My one website & all it's sub-domains automatically showing Plesk Default Page . After checking further, I found websites were stopped on the server . I manually started them but after few hours again same status . I repeated the same thing several times but issue not fixed.
The sql server I have my users use is on a different server from which plesk is installed. Plesk should include the size of the user's databases from the external server as well otherwise the user can have a database as large as he wants. It's no longer restricted by the plans limits.
I have followed the instructions here to send Plesk notifications through External SMTP (overuse, new domain creation, etc): URL....Here is the error I see in the panel.log: ERR [panel] Unable to send mail.
Is there another log that I'm missing with a more detailed error? Sending through an external SMTP works fine on sites hosted on the same server (Wordpress, Joomla).
I can receive email from all accounts and all domains.
The problem is that when sending an email to an external email (gmail., hotmail, outlook.com .... etc) this is sent to mail queue and do not leave that place.
I am looking to add a mysql external source to my plesk. So far no difficulty.
My question is if I remove the mysql server where the currently plesk. I have to say to the panel get the information (psa, roudcube, horde) on the remote mysql to invez mysql local server?
I'm using a 1blu.de vServer. On my VPS is Plesk 11.5 with centOS 6 installed. I created my Webspace [URL] .... and removed the Mail Services and activated the MSMTP plugin because I'm using the webserver from the hoster 1blu.de.
I activated the Firewall with the "allow any connection" rule.
In Plesk Tools & Settings > External SMTP Server I filled in the server informations smtp.1blu.de password & username. I checked all three boxes -> SMTP needs auth, allow user scripts ...
I installed Wordpress 3.9.2 with a Theme that uses PHP Mail function. The contact form is not sending any messages out. So I tried other php mail scripts but it doesn't work.
I'm not sure if it's a technical or a license issue. When I try to retrieve external services, such as purchase an ssl certificate or buy an application; I see the the following error: "Error: Error validating license."
For example: If I click on 'Tools and Settings' > 'External Services' > 'View Services' , the browser redirects to [URL] .... (as it should) and then gives me the license error. I have re-retrieved my license key, and even downloaded and reinstalled it from the Parallels Partner Channel and the problem persists. When I check the license key status from the Panel it says, "Key Update Status: License key PLSK.02557481.0016 is up-to-date." Everything else is working fine.
I am running Plesk version 12.0.18 Update #37 on Centos 6.6
I have Plesk 12 on CentOS 7. I have only MSMTP installed not Postfix or Qmail. No matter what settings I use in the external SMTP settings the mail is never sent and I cannot find any error logs.
I have tried gmail smtp, sendgrid smtp and another smtp server that I own.
This is not a firewall issue as far as I can tell since if I install postfix it just works. Also any Wordpress or Joomla installs that use SMTP settings with gmail or sendgrid work just fine.
Screenshot for information only. I used accurate usernames, passwords, etc.

Quick update. I tried the recommended CentOS 7 with the same result. Can installing Plesk 12 without a mail server and using the msmtp relay option actually works?Click to expand...
Plesk delivering email locally to a not existing mailbox instead of sending it to an external party. First I was using a local mailbox, but my client wanted to control the email using their own server. So I've changed the MX records to this new server. Deleted the inbox in Plesk and turned off Mail support for this domain.
New situation: DNS server for domain.com is hosted on a different location and points to my Plesk server for the website and the MX records point to the clients server for the mail.
Email send from email addresses like gmail are send correctly to the clients server. Email addresses from my PLesk server and forms from the website are send locally.
I've a box running Linux Plesk 12.0.18 + Postfix and hosting mydomain.com. Email service is hosted by an external provider.
The problem is that I can't write to postmaster@mydomain.com because Postfix tries to deliver it locally.
What I've already done:
Configured MX record on DNS to point the external provider's server. Disabled mail service for the TLD from plesk panel or with: /usr/local/psa/bin/mail --off mydomain.com
The problem still remains.
I think I'm facing on Plesk 12 the same problem described here and elsewhere on this forum for Plesk 9: [URL]
