CentOS 7 Plesk server DNS not starting

December 6, 2019

by ServerOk with No Comment Plesk

On a CentOS 7 Plesk server DNS failed to start. Plesk on CentOS 7 use named-chroot.service for starting DNS.

I tried to start DNS with

systemctl restart named-chroot

1	systemctl restart named-chroot

On checking status, it shows DNS failed to start

systemctl status named-chroot

1	systemctl status named-chroot

I removed Bind DNS server using command

plesk installer

1	plesk installer

Removed all bind related packages with yum. Removed all DNS configs from /etc and /var/named folder.

Reinstalled Bind DNS and run plesk repair to fix DNS entry

plesk repair dns

1	plesk repair dns

But it did not resolve the problem. I checked named.conf with

named-checkconf /etc/named.conf

1	named-checkconf /etc/named.conf

It showned error is related with

acl common-allow-transfer {
        11.11.12.100/255.255.255.0;
        1637:4100:203:6664::/64;
};

acl common-allow-transfer {

11.11.12.100/255.255.255.0;

1637:4100:203:6664::/64;

};

Problem is fixed by removing the entry “11.11.12.100/255.255.255.0” from

Plesk > Tools & Settings > DNS Zone Template > Transfer Restrictions Template

1	Plesk > Tools & Settings > DNS Zone Template > Transfer Restrictions Template

You can use IP or CIDR here. But you don’t need this if you don’t have secondary DNS servers.

Plesk Change Backup Location

October 11, 2019

by ServerOk with No Comment Plesk

By default, Plesk store backups in folder /var/lib/psa/dumps/. To move this to a differnt partition or directory, create a folder

mkdir /backup
chown psaadm:psaadm /backup
chmod 750 /backup

mkdir /backup

chown psaadm:psaadm /backup

chmod 750 /backup

Edit file

vi /etc/psa/psa.conf

1	vi /etc/psa/psa.conf

Find

DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

1	DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

Replace with

DUMP_D /backup

1	DUMP_D /backup

Move old backup to new location

rsync -avzP /var/lib/psa/dumps/ /backup/

1	rsync -avzP /var/lib/psa/dumps/ /backup/

Remove old backup directory, here i rename it to dumps-old, you can delete it.

cd /var/lib/psa
mv dumps dumps-old
ln -s /backup dumps

cd /var/lib/psa

mv dumps dumps-old

ln -s /backup dumps

Restart Plesk

service sw-cp-server restart

1	service sw-cp-server restart

Plesk move vhosts folder

July 19, 2019

by ServerOk with No Comment Plesk

Plesk use /var/www/vhosts folder to store sites. On some servers this folder will be on smaller partition. Say you have all disk space on partition /home, in such cause, you can use following command to move web site files to /home folder with following command.

plesk bin transvhosts.pl --dest-dir /home/ --correct-scripts

1	plesk bin transvhosts.pl --dest-dir /home/ --correct-scripts

/home/ = you can replace this any any folder you wish. Plesk will move the site files, update the configuration as required.

NOTE: In this example, i used /var/www/vhosts instead of /home/ as the server was using non default folder for vhosts, i am moving all sites back to default location (/var/www/vhosts).
