The post “Plesk is responsible for bridging our technical gaps” – EverData Success Story appeared first on Plesk.
What’s Changed
[+] Service nodes can be deployed on CloudLinux.
[+] A new utility, called sync_resource_usage, is available for synchronizing information about resource usage between the Server Administration Panel and Hosting Panel.
[+] The hostname utility can update the host names of service nodes in PPA.
[+] During migration from Plesk or Plesk Expand to PPA 11.5, providers can keep their existing SmarterMail servers and connect them to PPA as service nodes.
[*] Migration of a large number of sites now takes less time.
[*] The stability of the migration tool was improved.
[*] The algorithm of service node selection for hosting Microsoft SQL Server databases was improved.
[*] Localization was updated for the following languages: German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Chinese simplified, and Chinese traditional.
[*] The calculation of hosted domains for licensing purposes was improved: now only physically hosted sites are counted.
[-] In some cases, the screens of Hosting Panel were not shown in full in Internet Explorer. (PPA-159)
[-] Dr.Web license keys could not be renewed automatically. (PPA-474)
[-] Users could not back up their subscriptions. Scheduled backups also did not work. (PPA-753)
[-] The daily maintenance task stalled during the calculation of disk space usage statistics. (PPA-805)
[-] Migration from Plesk 8 to PPA failed with the error “Error: Table ‘psa.horde.turba_objects’ doesn’t exist”. (PPA-822)
[-] Changing resource limits on a subscription could cause undesirable changes to website hosting settings. (PPA-13)
[-] FTP users could not be restored from backups created on IIS service nodes. (PPA-36)
[-] Users could not see log files for add-on domains in the Hosting Panel. (PPA-501)
[-] Administrators could not manage Microsoft SQL Server databases through Infrastructure > Database Servers > DB Webadmin. Wrong database administration tool was opened.(PPA-594)
[-] Domain forwarding configured by customers on webspaces could be reset to web hosting service after administrators or resellers changed the resource limits in the corresponding service template. (PPA-636)
[-] After upgrading from PPA 11.1 to 11.5, custom ProFTPD configurations were discarded and the operation of FTP server was disrupted. (PPA-646)
[-] Terminated license keys for Dr.Web could not be unassigned from service nodes. (PPA-724)
[-] Enabling of Apache service on PPA backup nodes could disrupt the operation of ProFTPD. (PPA-795)
[-] Webspace provisioning failed on Windows nodes with the error “SIDClient error: Unable to release input thread stack”. (PPA-853)
[-] Migration from H-Sphere could fail if the migration tool was run with the “set-dns-forwarding” option. (PPA-790)
[-] Migration from H-Sphere could fail if the SSH key access was used and the H-Sphere node was missing from the list of known hosts. (PPA-777)
[-] Users could not migrate from Plesk for Windows to PPA 11.5 if the destination service node in PPA was running Windows 2012 R2 with German locale. (PPA-751)
[-] Users could not migrate to PPA 11.5 if PPA used an external Microsoft SQL Server (which was added through Infrastructure > Database Servers). (PPA-771)
[-] Users could not transfer the contents of databases from H-Sphere to PPA if the administrator’s password for the destination MySQL server contained a bracket symbol ({). (PPA-774)
[-] Users could not upgrade the migration tool by using the command installer.sh –upgrade. (PPA-749)
[-] During migration from H-Sphere, user names were incorrectly transferred to PPA. (PPA-814)
[-] The migration tool showed error messages while migrating suspended subscriptions in multiple-webspace mode (“transfer-domains-to-subscription: same” in config.ini). (PPA-779)
[-] Migration from Expand installations with centralized mail could produce warning messages about duplicate domain administrator roles. (PPA-848)
[+] Support for Microsoft Windows 2012. Now Windows-based service nodes can be deployed on Microsoft Windows 2012.
[+] Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Now users can deploy database servers with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 by means of a newly added service node role.
[+] Mail service on branded domains. Now users can set up mail accounts and use other mail services under their branded domains.
[*] The diagnostics of Parallels Plesk Automation installation issues on Parallels Virtuozzo Containers were improved.
[-] Users could not install PPA if a node’s host name did not resolve to the “communication IP address” specified in the first installation step.
[-] PPA installation and upgrade failed if the installer was executed from an SSH session with a locale other than en-US.
[-] Users could not upgrade to PPA 11.5 on CentOS 5. They encountered the following error: “[ERROR]: Failed to download file: http://autoinstall.plesk.com//PPA_11.5.0/Plesk/Autoinstaller_latest/CentOS-5-x86_64: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 400: Bad Request.”
[-] Users failed to upgrade to PPA 11.5 if a PPA mirror repository was reconfigured and a wrong IP address was used.
[-] Users on CentOS 5 could not upgrade to PPA 11.5 if there were 4 GB of RAM on the server.
[-] Users on CentOS 6 failed to upgrade to PPA 11.5 because of stalled task “Service state changed”.
[-] Users failed to upgrade BIND on service nodes with CentOS 6 and RHEL 6.
[-] Upgrade from PPA 11.1 to 11.5 failed if the system host name of a service nodes was set to localhost.localdomain.
[-] The upgrade utility did not check if there was enough free disk space before starting an upgrade.

[-] Users could not add PostgreSQL service nodes if the database server administrator’s password contained special characters.
[-] Users could not add Windows-based service nodes with Adobe ColdFusion.
[-] Users could not properly deactivate resource records in the DNS zones of their domains. After switching off those domains, the previously deactivated records became active again.
[-] Users could not set up branded domains.
[-] Users could not properly rebrand the Panel logo.
[-] Branded domains were suspended because of disk space overuse. This happened because the logs of branded domains were not rotated.
[-] WHMCS could not provision subscriptions for domain names containing hyphens.
[-] On removal of customer accounts from WHMCS, an error message was recorded in log files.
[-] Users could not remove a customer account from WHMCS if the customer’s subscription was not provisioned to PPA and the order was flagged as fraudulent.
