Plesk Automation :: PPA - Restrict Service Nodes For Subscriptions
Feb 26, 2014
I'm testing PPA and have now a questions. How can restrict a subscription to a service node? I have try that over the subscriptions and custom atribute's. That work for the most thinks (Apache/Postfix) but not for MySQL, all customers can by a create to choose the database server (all database servers). How can i customer don't allow to choose the database server?
For a example (web1, mail1 only -> db1) (web2, mail2 only -> db2)
And for the DNS settings to create automaticly a DNS for the database service? (as a sample: db.domain.de -> database service node)....
I can't seem to find if there is a way to specify what hostname is used for a service on a service node. For instance, if one creates a service node named web01, and makes it a DNS service node, is web01 what will be used when creating NS records in zone files, or is there a way to change that?
The ppademo.com site is offline (and was unlicensed again last week).
after learning that server aliases are not available for PPA, we are needing to rename our service nodes. We have looked through the documentation, and did see the ppa.hostname command for the management node but there does not seem to be an equivalent for service nodes.
I'm attempting to run PPA on Azure but I only have one IP to work with, the public IP address. It's not possible to communicate between servers using the internal IP addresses as they are not necessarily on the same sub net. How can I get PPA and service nodes running on a single IP address per machine?
An example of the error I get when setting up a service node is
Failed to execute command 'cscript /Nologo http_download.js http://<private ip address>/tarballs/Win32Bin/support.cab'. Check logs in 'c:POA_Deploy' at host '<public ip address>' for more details about the reasons of failure.
I am working on a new install of PPA, and after installation on the management node Im trying to add the other nodes. Ive tried to add a Apache, Postfix, DNS & DB node, and they all have the same issue. The installation task fails with the following error:
Destination host 'node.domain.com' (#3), IP '192.168.1.*' : The operation can not be completed because the following component is missing or is not running: pleskd (sc_name '', sc_id #45)
(domain and IP are removed here, correct in the original error. The IP is a backchannel IP, and the public IP was properly set in the management node).
I've verified that pleskd was installed and is running on each node:
Code:
24710 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/pem/sbin/pleskd --props-file /usr/local/pem/etc/pleskd.props --send-signal 24712 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/pem/sbin/pleskd --props-file /usr/local/pem/etc/pleskd.props --send-signal 24714 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/pem/sbin/pleskd --props-file /usr/local/pem/etc/pleskd.props --send-signal ...
I've verified that my management node can connect to the nodes in question via 8532:
Code: ]# telnet 192.168.1.* 8352 Trying 192.168.1.*.. Connected to 192.168.1.*. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed.
So there shouldn't be any firewall or other networking issues.
In PPA is there a way to restrict what applications from the application catalog can be used for each server? Right now I have a hosting node that can install anything from the application catalog, but I can't find anywhere in PPA to specify what is available and what isn't. If I go to APS Applications and My Apps, Add App, and select "Select an app from Application Catalog", firstly no matter which browser I use, the OK/Cancel buttons disappear. I have to open the frame in its own tab to be able to use this properly. But even if I select an app and choose not to make it available, it can still be added from the customer's hosting panel. In Plesk 11 I can choose which applications are available to the customers. I can't find how to do the same thing in PPA.
I have a 'Service Plan' which has 270 subscriptions associated with it. When I navigate to 'Service Plans' page, underneath my plan it reads "Unable to sync subscriptions with the service plan" along with a yellow exclamation mark.
If I go into the plan there is another message near the "Update & Sync" button stating that syncing will take time and therefore be run in the background. When I click the "Update & Sync" button nothing appears to happen. If I then click on the plan again, as if to edit the settings I get the following "Warning: Subscriptions are currently syncing with the service plan. Please wait until the sync process is finished." and it prevents me from accessing the plan settings.
If I wait a while, I can eventually get into the plan settings again, which should mean that the Update & Sync has completed. However the "Unable to sync subscriptions with the service plan" warning is still present under my custom plan on the 'Service Plans' page and if I navigate to a subscription to check if it has been updated it hasn't.
If I change the subscription plan to another plan and then change it back to my original plan again, then the changes are reflected. But this is obviously a workaround.
Why doesn't the "Update & Sync" button do as it should?
Why is my plan "Unable to sync subscriptions with the service plan"?
Recently I've tested the usage of domain keys on my plesk 12 server. The feature works without problems. I'm wondering however if it's possible to activate the domain keys by a service plan or subscription model. If not, for all my domains (65) I've to activate them manually and for each domain iIll create in the future I have to activate it too.
We are trying to add new service node but when we are trying to finish procedure we receive error: The usage of the resource "IP addresses" for subscription with ID "1" exceeds the value of "0".
We do not have a such subscription using ID "1". As I can see this is the ID in database for "Parallels Automation License Key", but it has unlimited license key and have already two nodes attached.
I have some problems adding a database and a webserver service-node:

Is there a way to set default PHP settings so they apply by default to all websites' custom php.ini file, or even server-wide or system-wide? For example, the timezone? I am using custom builds of PHP 5.5 and 5.6, per the PPA docs, but I found that, contrary to some Plesk (not PPA) documentation, /etc/php.ini is not used. It looks like a set of PHP settings are generated into a php.ini for the vhost, and I can set "Additional Directives" for each website but would prefer to set a system default. For instance, on recent PHP versions not having a timezone set generates a warning in the logs on every PHP execution. I'd also like to enable opcache since we're using FastCGI. So from where does PHP generate the vhost's php.ini?
As an aside, adding an "Additional Directives" entry with this unquoted generated an error and no directives were saved:
date.timezone=America/Chicago Instead, I had to quote it: date.timezone="America/Chicago"
We have a PPA environment with 7 service nodes (one management node, two web-, two database- and two e-mail servers). We also have 2 variants of hosting, a consumer and business variant.
We want separate the consumers from the business variants on the service nodes.
I want to use webserver1, databaseserver1 and emailserver1 for consumer hosting and webserver2, databaseserver2 and emailserver2 for business hosting
I want to make two service templates, one consumer and one business template.
Is it possible to configure ppa : When we subscript a consumer template, everything must provision only on the consumer service nodes automatically (web01, db01 and email01) and not on the business services nodes.
I want to develop a package for Parallels Plesk Automation to introduce some services like backup email, database, websites. I want to know whether it is possible with Parallels Plesk Automation and if so any links to developers site/documentation.
What could I fix by trying to start mysql server, recieve following errors:
plesk interface:
Code: Failed to restart the "mysql" service. Cannot start/stop/restart service: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service mysql restart Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available. start: Job failed to start
from the console:
Code: sudo service mysql start start: Job failed to start
Code: mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) output of plesk_11.5.30_reset_instance_data.log:

On a clean install of CentOS 6.6 (Final) I did the following:
1. updated the /etc/hosts file to point my ip to the hostname
2. Open the ports in the iptables file.
3. ran the ppa_installer per the instructions on [URL] ....
The ppa_installer log says installed Successfully. However the following occurs:
1. Cannot browse to the url:8443, or any of the other variations (8080, 8880, https/http)
2. Yum installer is now broken (I replicated this twice). Yum will not run at all with the following error:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: file too short
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is: 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 09:42:36) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]
I am now going to try Cent OS 6.4.. will report back.
I can't add subscriptions, not even for the administrator account, comes up with:
Error: Filename: ?C:inetpubvhostsmygclive.comhttpdocsweb.config Error: The configuration section 'system.webServer/rewrite/rules' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration In module Exception type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COM
I want to be able to copy 1000's of files from one subscription to another or rather from one domain to another on the server without having to FTP them each time. Is there a way which this can be done directly in Plesk and avoid the need to ftp the same 1000's of files into each subscription ? FTPing on my connection is really slow and takes 2-3 for each subscription / domain, whereas if I could just FTP to the server once and then copy&paste the files between subscriptions then this would save me a huge amount of time...
