I have been a solid cPanel / WHM user for the past 2 years, we have now since downsized our hosting requirements and also wanted to cut our panel costs and so we moved to PLESK 12 Web Edition.The server is on a trial license and has been working fine with no problems for the past 2 weeks. Today all of a sudden none of the websites are accessible, although I can ping all IP's on server and login via SSH.I cannot access any websites or hosting control panel, I have disabled IP tables as this was the cause of a problem last time.
Why this happened was there an update at around 5AM this morning which could have caused this?I have restarted the server, I can successfully ping / resolve address from SSH.
I cannot SSH or login into Plesk Admin panel. Once I tried SSH, it says 'connection refused'. Once I tried login into admin panel, it says 'Error: Access for administrator from address 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is restricted in accordance with IP Access restriction policy currently applied.
Tried restarting the plesk server too. Nothing seems working.
I enter one of my IPs or the hostname belonging to this IP, followed by the Plesk port, and I get redirected to the "main" hostname of the server, which was set in Plesk. But at this moment that hostname is used by another server (my old server) and so I'm redirected to the other server and cannot access Plesk on the new server.
I don't know why Plesk reacts like this, because it did not on the old server. Here the problem more detailed:
I'm just configuring my new server with Plesk 11. My old server uses Plesk 10. On my old server / in Plesk 10 I have the following scenario:
- I have several IPs (10) - Each IP is used for a different domain - Each IP has it's domain as the reverse entry (configured outside of the server/Plesk) - Each IP is set to "Dedicated" in Plesk - I set Plesk to listen only on one of these IPs (and different port) - Several domains are created in Plesk, but not a domain for my Plesk IP - The server's name is one of the domains (required for mails not being recognized as spam) - The hostname of the Plesk IP is one assigned by my provider (something like x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com) - Entering the IP of Plesk redirects to the "Plesk hostname" => Plesk can be accessed by using x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com:myport
And under Plesk 11 (here comes the problem):
- Still several IPs (but less: 4) - One IP should be used for Plesk, one for domain X, one for domain Y and the last one for the other domains - Reverse entries are x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com for Plesk IP, domain X/Y for two other IPs and the main domain for the last IP - Plesk IP and the two single domain IPs are configured as dedicated, the last one as shared - At this point I did not configure any domains in Plesk - Server's name is the same as my old server (the main domain) => Entering any IP with the Plesk port redirects to the servers hostname, e.g. my main domain, which is still on the old server. => Result: I cannot access Plesk!
Of course I could just change the hostname of the server via SSH (just have to find out how to do this), but why does Plesk react in another way now? Or is the problem that I cannot change Plesk to listen on only one IP?
I host a number of large sites (20GB+) on my VPS server running Centos6 and Plesk Panel 12. Due to the large sites I don't want to keep multiple backups on the actual server because it would take too much disk space. When I create a backup to the server's repository all is good, but when I click the green arrow to download the backup it takes a long time and then it fails with a timeout error. On some smaller sites it takes a while but eventually downloads the tar.
So my question: Is it possible to access the Server Repository via FTP? How and where would I set this up? Presumably it would be a better way to download these large archive files?
i would like to change the access control for datebase users via CL: command: /usr/local/psa/bin/database --update-dbuser web1_presta -server localhost:3306 reply: The database user was successfully updated. examination: mysql> select host, user from mysql.user;
Only when using the GUI: home -> Subscriptions -> Website & Domains -> Databases -> Users -> web1_wp -> Access control -> from Allow remote connections from any host -> to Allow local connections only
is also the user adjusted: mysql> select host, user from mysql.user; +-----------+------------------+ | host | user | +-----------+------------------+ | localhost | web1_oxid | | localhost | web1_presta | | localhost | web1_shopware | | localhost | web1_wp | +-----------+------------------+
I have a rented VPS with 2TB of disk space and a plesk license in order to host the sites that i develop and my sites, and found myself with around 1.8TB of free space, plesk samba management and plesk vpn management but with few missing pieces for my idea. My idea was to setup vpn tunneling between my laptop and desktop to plesk server and access samba share from the server like they were in my LAN.In the firewall I have opened only the classic mail and web ports (obviously plesk access too).
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?
each time i migrate a Domain from a plesk 9.5.5 Windows Hosting Server towards the new plesk 11.5 Server the customers iusr Password does not match the Systems iusr Password.so after each Migration the Website is requesting a username and Password.
1. how to solve that for the whole Installation?
2. at plesk 7.5 and later there was a Workaround which is not anymore supported: websrvmng.exe –update-anon-password –domain-name=yourdomain.com
I am having this really irritating problem. I keep getting disconnected when I FTP into my VPS. First I thought it had to do with my VPS or hosting company but I think it's something else because I've had the same problem at two hosts.
These are the facts: - Earthlink broadband through Time Warner's cable - I live in Hawaii and my server is in Texas - I use SmartFTP as my FTP client - I have one VPS with Zone.net and one with JaguarPC
This is the error message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Observations: - it disconnects more often when I upload than when I download - it seems to relate to file quantity rather than size of file
Does anyone know what would cause this? Is it my ISP?
I trying to create authentication Key in SSH with plesk 11.5.30 CentOS Linux box...I followed the following KB article to create authentication key. URL...The authentication key not working.
After updating from Plesk 10 to Plesk 12 I have lost ssh access for all users (service is not running).
While I select ssh connection I still receive an error:
--------------------------- PuTTY Fatal Error --------------------------- Server unexpectedly closed network connection --------------------------- OK ---------------------------Click to expand...
ERROR: Zend_Db_Statement_Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 126 Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_50f_0.MYI'; try to repair it (Pdo.php:234)
After upgrading to v12 i have no access to the plesk panel. The message above is shown.
I have some issues access my files through FTP. I created a new FTP user, that match the domain name, so it is easy for me to terminate access if i choose to delete the domain.
I can only access / see files that i uploaded with that specific FTP user. If i install a plugin inside Wordpress, i can not access those files via FTP.
If i login via SSH, with the root user, i can see all files.
I have tried to add the FTP user to the psacln group, but no luck.
I have Plesk 12 on Ubuntu. In an earlier version of Plesk I have some domains and all was fine. Now on a new server I have a problem: I cannot access to the domains via ftp. I have have user and I can connect to the server with a ftp client. But after (successful) login I did not receive any data and can not do anything.
I use Plesk 11.5.30 on my vServer. I created a new domain with a new web user and /bin/bash (chroot) setting. I can't login with a SFTP connection to this domain only normal FTP connection works. With existing users I don't have this problem.
Trying to restrict access to plesk control panel to one IP address (fake 66.67.68.69).
When I add the network 66.67.68.69/255.255.255.254 I recieve the following notification:
Error: The access restriction policy and the list of networks are currently configured the way you will not be able to log in with administrator's rights from your IP address '66.67.68.69'.
Now I would like this to be the ONLY ip address from wich i can log in.
Using Plesk 12 on a VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. In the Web Server Settings, if I select "Process PHP by nginx", then the URL "<domain>/plesk-stat/webstat/" is answered by Nginx with "404 Not Found". Having sniffed around, it seems:
/var/www/vhosts/system/VHOST/statistics/webstat is getting statistics gathered.I can't say if they are complete, or even sensible, but things are happening there.The various Alias and other statements required for access to AWStats via Apache are contained in the Apache config file /var/www /vhosts/system/VHOST/conf/last_httpd.conf..But no equivalent statements are generated in /var/www/vhosts/system/VHOST/conf/last_nginx.conf.
In Plesk 11.5 I set log rotation to once a day and to keep 365 files. But I can only find 13 files (only one access_log) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/log. But Plesk tells me that 100 GB are used for the logs (the 13 files only have about 3 GB). Where are the files? In previous versions (before 11.5) I always had the files (named .1, .2 etc) in the same log directory.
I have just looked at the plesk panel log - /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log - and seen an alarming number of attempts to access plesk using the admin user. i.e.
[2015-02-02 14:53:46] ERR [panel] [Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'admin' from IP 50.62.148.176
I have fail2ban installed and set up for other things...
I need to disable apache access logs. I commented out the access log path in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and restarted the server but it's still logging access.
I read in the Plesk 12 release notes that resellers should have access to the new Wordpress toolkit. However, when I login with a reseller account, the Wordpress tool does not show up in the left-hand side menu. What do I need to do to give resellers access?
Access_log and error_log are being rotated around 10AM daily for my server.
But for busy days access_log and error_log gets very big to inspect. Is there any way that I can manually reset the logs for the time being but without changing the daily rotation time?
