i'd like to improve my hosting setup a bit; right now, both my name servers are sitting on the same VPS server, which isn't really the way it should be done. I don't want to pay a whole lot for a second hosted server somewhere to act strictly as a secondary name server, but there does not seem...

FWIW, I'm serving a small group of non-profits with a VPS plan that's running CF (MX7), mail (Smartermail 4) and a bunch of SQL heavy joomla sites. The value VPS plan (windows) under PLESK will definitely be a stretch. Even with Stephen's very generous assistance in making it work, CF was just...

Okay, since no-one else had any brilliant insights... :P The solution turned out to involve running the defpackagemng.exe utility in swsoft\plesk\admin\bin with --fix. Whatever was broken in the bowels of PLESK were fixed and it now recognizes the mail server again.

So, PLESK has decided to stop recognizing my mail server -- when I try to login it now insists that smartermail is not installed and that I pick mailenable (the only option it seems to think it has). I've reinstalled smartermail, I've run the plesk reconfigurator -- no change. Any thoughts...

For those of us running plesk on windows (and in my case, coldfusion and a mail server on top of that) space gets really tight really quick -- even a gold plan with 10Gb is really barely adequate once you throw a full virtuozzo backup file and assorted junk on the box. But the current rate of...

I'm running Awstats on PLESK under Windows. After reading thru the Awstats config instructions and hunting everywhere for guidance on how to configure the damn thing, I'm still stumped. Specifically: 1) where do I control the frequency of the automatic stats update that PLESK somehow seems...

Just to follow up for those interested: I went with Smartermail 4.1, and it's working fine so far. It integrates with PLESK 7.6.1 on Windows (as with all things PLESK it's a bit of hammering a square peg into a round hole, but it does -- eventually -- work). Beware, however, that Smartermail on...

Thinking of upgrading mailenable to mailenable pro on my winvps server. But then, threads on other vps forums have users discussing alternatives, too -- seems mailenable is known to cause headaches. hMailServer and SmarterMail are free packages being suggested, but then there are options...

Anyone have any thoughts on improvements in 8.1 over 7.6? Now that it's the official jodohost Plesk offering on windows, is there a plan to upgrade existing 7.6 servers to 8.1? Would that offer anything of interest -- or just cause more hassle than it's worth?

Stephen, What's your recommendation as far as restarting services are concerned: is it best done via virtuozzo, via plesk, or via the msc interface? Since our enfant terrible plesk likes to control everything and do things in its own special way i'd be tempted to say via plesk, but if...

fischermx, If you're registered as an LLC in the US the Fed tax guys are going to want to hear from you every year, even if you just send them a blank form and a postcard. The key for bureaucrats is that you *file* your taxes, not necessarily pay them -- they just want the nice, shiny...

Okay, I think I've gotten to the point where Virtuozzo/PLESK and I may have to part ways. Tonight's challenge was the sudden inability to take backups in the power panel and a subsequent half-hang of the power panel -- I get the sense that Stephen has been spending valuable time with SWSoft on...

fischermx, take a second to cruise out (to the swsoft and mailenable forums) and learn a bit more about the limitations with mailenable (the free version that comes with PLESK vs. the PRO version that you can buy), and decide if it's good enough for what you need. Some users see...

Anyone have any experience getting an extension added to php.ini -- I've tried a variety of paths/settings, and nothing seems to take; the extension is seemingly ignored by php. I'm trying to get the ioncube loader for php 4.4 up and running... Sorry, should have been more specific: I'm on a...

PLESK comes default with MailEnable Standard installed. That version does not come with any outgoing spam or virus filtering. ME Pro (an upgrade that is not recommended for PLESK by many at the SWSoft and ME forums) offers the option to integrate ME-FILTER. However, it appears that the...

i recently moved a client to a dedicated IP on my winvps server to accomodate SSL. But it's not clear to me how I should tweak the MX records in their DNS, if at all. PLESK defaults to changing everything in the domain's DNS to the unique IP, but there's no rDNS established for that IP. So...

looking to buy a certificate from certs.ipsca.com, which Yash recommended a while back on another thread. They're asking me to specify what kind of server i'm on, but PLESK is not an option -- for hsphere Stephen had recommended picking Apache, even for IIS/Windows installs. Can someone...

Oyster, Gee -- i didn't know they were all hosted with Jodohost. I'm honored. Seriously, easy on the flames there -- I wasn't trying to slam CF or speak for others who can't enough of it. I was simply speaking for myself -- I don't need MX8 bad enough to keep buggin' jodohost about...

Phil, At this point it doesn't really matter that much; for all I care, jodohost and their clients are much better off spending their time and efforts strengthening their core infrastructure and supporting general high-quality hosting and reselling options. CF MX7 does what I need for...

Thx, Stephen. Will do. Does this mean we're moving to 8.1 on the Windows VPSs sometime in the near future?
