I've always hosted on shared hosting but recently upgraded to a VPS and am running Plesk 12.0.18 (Update #33).
Previously I had a way of sending a client a link to the site before the DNS and domains propagated. Usually, this was in the structure of
http://IP-Address/webspacename.tld
With Plesk, I am trying to do the same. But when I hit the preview button beside a domain name / web space, I get a very long winded URL which partially works.
[URL] ....
I could probably live with that but all my CSS paths are broken, browsing any links brings up a 404 nginx error etc. It's not good.
Interestingly, I have a site on the same VPS which works beautifully as the domain propogation has kicked in. However, and here's the thing, the very site in this URL preview structure has the same issue ... broken CSS files.
Is this a problem with my VPS provider or a Plesk oddity? BTW I know I could setup a cheap temp domain or change my Mac hosts file but I think this is beside the point. Would I be better off switching to Cpanel or a different VPS provider?
I am new to this and it has been a long weeks of struggle just to get my website live on the internet. I can preview it but i can't Open what is the problem? It also not live on the internet. I waited over six days because i was thingking it was still in the process of propagation but nothing happened.
I'm trying to view my sites using the "Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk" setting. I notice that it modifies that domain's DNS records to include the IP with dashes, however when I attempt to preview any of the sites hosted, I get "server not found" from my browser. The URL is the correct syntax, but cannot seem to access the site.
I've tried turning DNS off and on for each hosted site, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
is there a way to set global php values settings for all Domains in Plesk 12. In the older version of Plesk I can do it by linux in /etc/php.ini and restart the apache and all Domains will be load this configuration. But from Plesk 11 the settings are not loading from /etc/php.ini, only by the own php.ini file.How can I do it for all domains?
I've recently opened an account at a shared webhosting, cPanel managed. I've assigned it the main domain name I plan to use, but currently that domain points to another webhosting.
Before I proceed with the change of nameservers and make the definitive switch from the old to the new host, is there any way I can privately preview my site (100% HTML) from the new host? I'd like to ensure it's working OK before making the jump.
I've tried to add an entry to my local HOSTS file assigning my domain to the new host IP, but I only get a default page from the new server.
How can I completely disable ALL notifications from plesk? We NEVER want plesk to notify customers of overages.
Not only do we want to disable all notifications but I want someone at parallels to know about the bug.. It notifies people that they are over or approaching limits when they aren't anywhere near it.. Here is a sample of one of the notifications emails sent. Names and emails changed of course...
Code: From: My Name [mailto:me@mydomain.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 3:38 AM To: My Customer Name Subject: <host.mydomain.com> Notification: Resource usage by subscription has exceeded the allotments.
The 'domain.com' subscription, owned by user 'Customer Name', is approaching or already exceeded the resource usage limits:
Whenever I setup a new FTP user in Plesk and then configure my FTP client with exactly the same username and password and transfer files and folders onto the server then the file permissions allocated are incorrect. Folders get allocated a permission of 700 and files a permission of 600, whereas I want all folders to have a permission of 755 and files a permission of 644. How can I change my setup so that files and folders get the permissions I want ?
I have one subscription that shows incorrect statistics for the log file size. In the statistics pane it reports 130MB, while on the server in the /var/www/vhosts/domain/logs I only see 1.7MB.
Are there any other locations where logs are kept that are included in the statistics?
I deleted Nginx web server and reverse proxy support from Plesk. There is no this service on server, but I still see on the web server informations like nginx/1.6.0 at phpmyadmin page.
I have some problem with my parse_url after last update of Plesk Panel.I ran the test script on my server and on my local computer, and received the following result: Local computer:
HTML: Array ( [host] => product_features.clear_list?redirect_url=http [path] => //www.siteExample.com ) As you can see, the structure of the output data is not identical as it should be.
The Outgoing Mail Control feature is working fine. One missing option with this feature is to view the contents of blocked messages. Unfortunately, sometimes a site gets hacked and is sending spam. which are over the message sending limit, to try to find out where the message came from.
The current problem is that the email message contents of the limitation warning with subject "Attempts to exceed outgoing limits for domains, mail boxes and subscriptions." is not correct. Somehow it only contains the text: date.timezone = "Europe/Amsterdam" (which is a PHP setting) instead of a descriptive message. I hoped it would contain the blocked message contents or some useful text. Can I change the contents of this message to the what is should be? And what should it be?
It looks like a problem I had ones before where the custom PHP settings at the hosting packages level and at the domains level where replaced with some other kind of settings string. But solved by just changing the custom PHP settings
i have to delete all PTR records in over 80 domains in a Plesk 12 panel, when i tried to run the dns command to remove the PTR record from a domain, i got the error :
Code: Unable del record in DNS server: unable find DNS record ...
There is a KB article about this specific problem : [URL] .... , but it refers to older Plesk versions (8.x-10.x). I gave it a shot by copying the fix file from all 3 different versions to /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/ and i got the following PHP errors:
Code:
PHP Warning: include_once(class.PHostingManager.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/cuDns.php, Line: 4 PHP Warning: include_once(): Failed opening 'class.PHostingManager.php' for inclusion (include_path='/usr/local/psa/admin/plib:/usr/local/psa/admin/externals'); File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/cuDns.php, Line: 4

Is there any workaround this PTR issue? Also, is Parallels going to update the article and provide solution for Plesk 12?
A customer wanted me to install the Google Apps MX records. However, it seems that they are not being created in Route53, at all.
Also if I delete the existing MX reccord the change does not reflect to Route53. Try to replicate?
Fact is that you've put this module in the catalog and would get in touch with you guys to tweak it to perfection as I think it can be a real USP for small hosters like me as this utilises the power of Amazons giant network yet you only have one server to take care of for all your regular hosting.
Impossible to delete my PTR record (DNS) on a domain name. Message error: Impossible de restaurer la zone DNS : une erreur s'est produite en ajoutant l'enregistrement (IPv6 du serveur) IN none mondomaine.fr. : Des valeurs incorrectes ont été indiquées pour l'enregistrement DNS.
I want to create a webpage where users can make a SRV record. I thought this is possible with the Plesk API but i dont have any expierance with the API. How to create it?
How to get plesk (12) to set the SOA record properly on existing domains?
Let me explain the issue first. We use PowerDNS supermaster mode as slave servers. The way this works is we configure PowerDNS so that it sees the plesk server as a so called supermaster.
When a so called supermaster notifies the slave servers on a zone update, if it doesn't exist it just adds the zone and pulls it in. This works very nice and without any scripting required (there's only the issue of removing them, I just have a script that deletes all domains that haven't been able to update in 2 weeks every day from the database).
The only issue here is that BIND does *NOT* ever notify the nameserver listed in the SOA. The nameserver listed in the SOA should be the master (and hence - thus plesk itself) and it being a master it should be where the changes occur and notifying it isn't necessary thus, which is why BIND doesn't do that.
Unfortunately plesk doesn't seem to grasp this concept. It will happily put any nameserver in the SOA record. Have adjusted the template and it seems to work ok for new domains now (not sure how reliably though), but it's a major pain for the existing ones. It's very hard to update them properly.
Reapplying template -> no change to master NS/SOA Switching mode to slave and back to master -> no change to master NS/SOA Resetting to default -> no change to master NS/SOA
The only way I've found so far is to delete the records manually, add them again and hope it doesn't change the order (yes it does this a lot, you'll have the correct order listed, click apply and the order just changes. Some times it adds them to the bottom of the list, some times to the top - not confusing at all).
Plesk really should be taught that if it's master, it should be the one in the SOA. Whilst my issue is larger due to the supermaster and slaves not creating the zone (and hence my slave not functioning), it is an issue in any setup because a slave listed as SOA will not be notified and doesn't pick up on the changes right away. Depending on the refresh times it might take quite some time for the slave to pick up the change then, which isn't desirable either as it will leave you with a slave that still returns incorrect records.
The IP addresses assigned to our servers have changed so it's time to update the default SPF information contained in the DNS records for ALL of the domains hosted on our servers:
However, when we update the resource record in the DNS template and then "Apply the changes to all zones...",
Panel will apply changes from the template to all DNS zones including the customized ones. Note that user-modified records always remain intact. For example, if the template contains a new record that was already added by a customer, Panel will keep the customer's record.Click to expand...
Although running >> /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --info dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com >> shows the 'ecz1' TXT record exists for "dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com" : ... ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. TXT ecz1
[Code] ....
The issue can be caused by extra spaces in the TXT record:
Code: [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --add dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com -txt 'ecz1 ' -domain ecz1 SUCCESS: Creation of DNS record in Domain 'dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com' complete. [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --del dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com -txt 'ecz1' -domain ecz1 Unable to del record in DNS server: unable to find DNS record
In the following example I have 3 such TXT records with 3, 5, 7 extra spaces and remove record with 3 spaces:
Code: [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "select host, val, (length(val) - length(rtrim(val))) as extraspaces from dns_recs where host='ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com.' and val like 'ecz1%'" +---------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | host | val | extraspaces | +---------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. | ecz1 | 5 | | ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. | ecz1 | 3 |
1/ What is the difference between maillog and maillog.processed? I want to keep a permanent record of all mail inbound and outbound even if delivery is deferred by the gray listing. I'm not sure which one is the best to keep.
2/ I would like to change the way that the mail logs get log rotated. I am struggling to work out exactly what happens at the moment but I would like to rotate the log out every day regardless of size. I think currently that the maillog.processed is rotated daily if it is over a specific size.
I get error while copying accounts from Plesk to Cpanel and hence the emails are not copied though the data is copied. The error goes like this
pXa Copying Mail files....ERROR 1064 at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'SELECT cl_id FROM domains WHERE id = 1018 )' at line 1
I am running Plesk 8.01 and the latest stable release of Cpanel. Is it because of the Plesk version I have? If yes, then what should be the Plesk version?
Not sure what the problem is but I can't preview a new website using Quick Site Preview. I have configured Tools and Settings > Website Preview Settings > Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk by selecting the server domain name, yet despite this when I go to a new domain I setup today and click preview I get a browser windows that says "Server Not Found".
I am trying to install Joomla on httpme.com but I seem to have problems with it recognising the username/password. Could it be a localhost issue or something?
I just can't seem to get a solution to this. I am referring to step 1 of the Joomla installation.
