I've a question, one of the dedicated servers with CentOS and Plesk 8.1.1 crashed. Critical system files were corrupted so it was impossible to start the server.
What we could do is backup;
/var/www/vhost/*.*
/var/lib/mysql/*.*
We installed a new server with same software (CentOS and Plesk 8.1.1), we placed the backupped directories back, restored the MySql database...
But how can we restore the settings? With putty / commandline we can open all restored databases. But we have a feeling that the PSA database is not connected with the Plesk admin (GUI)...
Our primary question, how do we get our settings back in Plesk (like accounts; clients, domains, dns-records and so on?)
After a server migration, some critical Plesk settings were not copied across, even though the option to backup/restore panel configuration was used. e.g.
skeleton (vhosts.skel folder) php.ini (Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPleskPHP5* folder) Default site (vhostsdefault folder) health config (Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskadminconfcustom-health-config.xml) Additional Administrator accounts
Is there a way to get these things to backup and restore that I am doing wrong?
Are there other important settings/data that I have missed from that list? I am still paying to keep the old server in case I discover something else!
Using Plesk Backup & Restore for disaster recovery will lose these settings unless they take extra steps. e.g. I now have a simple batch file that copies these files to a private folder on one of the domains before the daily backup kicks in.
I just got a new server the other day, installed cpanel and all my usual stuff in it.
Then I started transferring some accounts off my other server on the same network. It would transfer small accounts ok but I have this one big account,. the sql is like 300 mb. It would get to the restore on it then the server would crash and be totally unresponsive.
It has to be manually rebooted at the datacenter. There is nothing in any logs. At first I thought it was the load getting hi and doing it but I ran the unix bench and got the load to 14 and it didnt hurt it.
It only does this on restoring big sql db. At the dc they say the screen on the console goes blank.
Ive done looked and cant find anything in the box. Its actually the same exact setup I use for my other servers.
So the dc is looking at it today. Has anyone ever ran into a problem like this and if so what was the cause?
Would like to know what are the dangers of backing up and restoring full entire system backups (with plesk installed) to another server with a different ip address? Will the restored plesk setup operate properly and offer an ip address change in the system, or will there be any pre-requisites required such as manual ip changing within the system core files?
since i started working with the version 12.0.18 from plesk, my webserver is crashing after some hours, i found no errors why it's crashing, but while it's crashed i see following issues:
For some reason some clients including my own test account have not been able to receive emails correctly. Basically if I send email to an external add such as Yahoo, Gmail, AOL etc, they receive them fine. However all incoming mail is blank for all clients? I mean blank as it there is no time or date stamp, no sender details unless you look in the header and the title just displays unknown?
Has anyone an idea why or how this could have happened?
I've even tried these with all spam filters off etc. I think the mail prog is qmail.
situation: - compiled and installed php 5.5 and 5.6 - both versions work fine and are registered in plesk - base configuration for php is set for each version in a custom.ini
issue: - plesk php-settings are not applied: not matter what I change in Plesk php-settings, the values from my custom.ini file are used
What did I do wrong? How do I re-enable plesk php-settings?
Addendum: The php-settings apply esspecially to post_max_size and execution_time
I am trying to change the default php settings under domain (upload_max_filesize & post_max_size) but nothing happens. I am running PHP 5.5 in FastCGI. I also changed it to Centos default PHP (5.4.16) but nothing happens again. It only works when PHP runs as Apache module. The problem is on FastCGI Application.
My server: Centos 7, Plesk 12 Check the screenshot for installed components.
so my website is working perfectly fine for a few months now, and im looking to use Roundcube instead of Google Apps.What are the DNS settings i need to change to for my domain registrar?Currently i have the following records, and it can only send email, and not receive.
A Records @ IP Address A Records webmail IP Address
Tools&Settings Plesk Appearance Interface Management -Power user View (with & without) Use Custom View​-Service Provider View (with & without) Open hosting operations in Server Administration Panel​ However when I go to
Websites&Domain TheWebsite/Show More, the DNS settings are still missing.
Is there any other setting I can try to show the dns settings?
I manage 1 server with 5 domains. I use the panel as power user (unique user)
I want to assign a new IP to a domain. In the hosting setting there is no IP to choose and in the IP tab if I click on the IP there is no domains to choose becouse all the domains are assigned to the primary IP...
I'd like to set IP in the hosting setting of the domain...
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.
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"
I want to change SOA Settings from defaults to these: When I press OK button shows that is saved but when I test with [URL] .... and [URL] .... shows that settings still is defaults.How to change these settings??
- I make changes to the PHP settings but they don't seem to take effect. I even had tried making the changes in the php.ini file, but some of the changes here don't take effect either. I have found similiar posts, but resolutions that work. I have restarted the IIS service after the changes, but this did not change the results I see in phpinfo();.
Examples of Changes Not Taking Effect:
- I changed "error_log" in PHP Settings. phpinfo showed no value for error_log. I changed error_log in php.ini and the change took effect for both local and global. - memory_limit is set to 128M in php.ini. It shows as 32M for local and 128M for global with phpinfo(). No matter what I change this to (some value, "-1", default) in 'PHP Settings', the value does not change for local. - The same problem with 'memory_limit' also occurs for post_max_size. - PHP 5.2 and 5.4 are installed. If I change the version under the 'General' tab, it stays as 5.2.17 in phpinfo(). - I have changed the error_log setting in php.ini and 'PHP Settings', but still nothing is logged in the error_log file with safe_mode on or off (set to local directory). There is a note out there saying that with PHP 5.2, safe_mode on will not write to file. - I have performed IIS Restarts, but this did not make any settings take effect. - I also have tried changing PHP settings under the 'general' and "PHP Settings' tab, both under the website area and the advanced options->Website Scripting and Security. So the 'website' settings would be specific for the website and under 'Website Scripting and Security' would be for the webspace. Changing in either location does not make a difference.
Other Note - I discovered this, because a client was getting a 501 when performing a post, which also sent an email. If he attached a file larger than 7MB to his form, the code would fail with a 501 error. After investigating, the "To" field was blank if a person attached a file larger than 7MB. Defnitely seems to be a memory issue. But since no log file, nor will my settings take effect, I have not been able to resolve this.
PLESK Version - 11.0.9 Update #62 on Windows 2008 and IIS is the web server.
I recently reinstalled my Plesk Panel 12.0.18 after several failures, which I wasn't able to repair (not even bootstrapper.sh would work). All of my websites weren't accessible, the connection between websites and the Database server didn't work and the Plesk backend was unavailable, too. I used the autoinstaller via command line to make a new Plesk installation.
Now I have a clean panel, the websites are available again, the MySQL database works again, but I don't have all my settings and websites in the Plesk backend anymore.
My question is: How can I get the old settings/configurations, which are still on the server, back in to Plesk?
It looks like a change was made to the firewall settings (I think this was done by .net microsoft patch).I have manually added mysql-nt to the firewall ruleset, and this has allowed MySql to talk to the application. (Wordpress websites are now working)I still get the same error when i try to log in to the control panel.

I am setting up a new server and started to migrate domains from an 11.x plesk server to this new server with plesk 12.x on it. Everything works fine, domains, users, mailboxes, everything is migrated - except the horde settings inside the webmail. I recognized this after my first login into webmail, normally the inbox is shown (I configured my webmaoil this way) but after the migration this setting is lost - including all other settings. How to migrate this settings?
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?
We are running Plesk 12.0.18 with MySQL (Server Version: 5.5.33-MariaDB - openSUSE package) on OpenSuSE 13.1
MySQL is running in strict mode and its fine for the most of our customers. But some are trying to run Contenido, thats a CMS, which could work with this mode and we have to disable mysql strict mode.
So my question is: Is it possible to disable mysql strict mode just for choosen customers?
I wanted to select I want PHP 5.4 instead of 5.3 and to disable AWStats for the domain. This is what I got :-(

When creating a new subscription via the API (Plesk 12) is there a way to specify the Mail settings? More importantly is there a way to turn off Mail when setting up a new subscription? Each time I create a subscription via the API Plesk spits out the following error:
