  1. distupgrade for Debian and Ubuntu (i.e. Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy)

    This used to work with previous Debian versions (e.g. Etch -> Lenny, Lenny -> Squeeze) but it doesn´t seem to be possible with Squeeze -> Wheezy.

    The proposed way of "updating" is to make a backup and restore it on a new server. As we have 50+ servers this simply isn´t feasible: We cannnot get a new server and transfer multiple customer domains (some using external DNS) for each of those servers. This would cause long downtimes and problems with data being transferred that is changed on the old server (from website users).

    It has been possible before so it…

  4. Access suspended subscription owned by administrator

    Plesk version: 11.5

    Very simple: as title says, if I suspend domain which is created by me, administator, I'm no longer able to access subscription domains/mails through Control Panel.

  5. eventually fix the mailman bug which is there since plesk 8

    After every update to plesk I have to manually fix the mailman entry in /etc/postfix/master.cf
    It should read: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=Ru

    plesk updates change the flags=R which means that mailing lists are broken if they contain upper case characters.

    As far as I know problems in mixed cases in Plesk mail services have been fixed. Have you checked this issue in Plesk 12.5 Preview (http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/parallels-plesk-12.1-for-linux-change-log.html) ? If it is reproduced – please write step-by-step instruction how we can check it. Thanks.

    UPD: We are closing the request as completed, since no information to the contrary were provided for over a month.

  6. Application "Joomla 3.2.2" - Language and sample data BUG

    I've installed Joomla 3.2.2 as Application in Plesk Panel 11.5.
    I selected that I don't want to install sample data and that Joomla should be in German.

    But there are sample data.
    And German is selected as default language, but my administrator page is already in English.

    Is there a bug in Plesk-Application?

  7. Prevent warning "The following packages cannot be authenticated"

    This warning happens sometimes on some of our servers when the microupdates are installed automatically (I guess). This also happens when upgrading the underlying Debian version (yes, I know this is unfortunately not the preferred Parallels way).

    The packages don´t seem to be signed or the key missing (or is it already possible to import the key???), so this could be improved.

  10. To not allow the selection of a local folder when selecting an external backup repository.

    When performing a backup or scheduled backup in Plesk 11 to an external FTP repository, you can define the backup destination as a local file within the folder structure you are backing up (as in you are using the external FTP repository to back up locally). This causes a backup file to be generated that is many GB in size. The domain and/or subscription then gets suspended. There should be a check in place to not allow backups have a destination within the file structure that is being backed up.

  11. Increase maximum supported IP addresses

    It looks like the change from Plesk 9.5.4 to 11.5.30 reduced the maximum allowed IP addresses down to 200 or so. When you try to re-read the IP addresses you get an error/crash. We used to be able to add as many IP's as we wanted, but I'm told its now limited to 200 or 256 (but I get a failure when I've added just 235 addresses). With the deployment of IPv6 we will need much more.

  12. add the free Clef service for simple, strong multifactor panel authentication without passwords

    Plesk Panel 11 is wonderful. But it could be even more wonderful if included strong, multifactor authentication.

    Clef’s (http://getclef.com) strong MFA is free, super easy to use, and provides next-gen authentication security without passwords.

    Plesk Panel + Clef would make a dynamic duo!

  13. Modification of application installation path

    For instance, Joomla installs to a subdirectory called /joomla which makes the URL of the Joomla site: www.domain.com/joomla

    That is not an acceptable path. Our customers are then moving the Joomla files into their root /httpdocs directory for a better URL for the site. After that, the default buttons in the panel no longer work. It would be great if you could make the path editable for the customer to continue to use the installation buttons to get to their site and administrator panel from the panel.

    This feature is already implemented in the upcoming Plesk 12.1 release. We encourage you to check the implementation in one of upcoming Plesk previews and let us know what you think. Everyone, thanks for your input and votes.

    Default installation path for all webapps is ‘/’

  14. Presence Builder should be OPTIONAL in any Plesk installation and not be included by default.

    Is really annoying to have "something" in your settings that you will never use.

  15. No http data mix on https default page from parallels

    There is this security warning in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety when I access the default page of a server with fresh Plesk installation: https://my.ip.add.ress - reason is mixed content coming from parallels. Please fix this! Thanks!

    I think the upcoming 12.5 release shall solve your problem:
    1) you will have option of Import/Export database alone in “Databases”
    2) when doing new incremental backup, if no files were modified, then only database will be backed up

    UPD:

    This functionality is now available in Plesk 12.5. Please visit the following forum threads to learn how to install Plesk 12.5:

    Linux:
    http://forum.odin.com/threads/plesk-12-5-rtm-is-out.334213/

    Windows:
    http://forum.odin.com/threads/plesk-12-5-rtm-is-out.334212/

    We would appreciate hearing your feedback on implementation of this functionality. Thanks!

  19. Easier manual backup recovery process!

    The current method in which backups are managed is neat but extremely difficult to deal with. Even the documentation is a bit lousy. It would be great if there was a single, easy tool to extract a portion of a backup. This would make managing LARGE site backups much easier. I just went through pain when extracting files from the backup.

    You can probably preview our better recovery process in upcoming Plesk 12.0 version. It allows choosing selected parts of backup to recover (up to individual file).

    If you already tried Plesk 12.0, please tell us your opinion in https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10kOuXE5uFDtMf3SfqneS_CwlAxTHYl2eSFwJ-yNLAMg/edit

    If you didn’t try Plesk 12.0 yet, you can get it at http://sp.parallelsnetwork.com/plesk-12-preview/
    and join discussion on our forum

    By the deletion of a subscription/abonnement or a customer, should always be the name in the confirmation window! This final procedure is very dangerous and should be followed more clearly.
