[-] bug resolved
[*] bug resolved and functionality improved
[+] Kaspersky antivirus version 8 support is added. For details, see http://kb.parallels.com/en/111566
[+] Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 support is added.
[-] Issue resolved: An IP address could not be added to the mail server white list if it was in DNS zone file.
[-] Issue resolved for Postfix: Messages sent to several mailing lists with Postfix were actually delivered to only one mailing list.
[-] Issue resolved for Postfix: mail server bounced mail messages sent to a domain with mail service turned off and mail to non-existent users bounce set up, instead of redirecting the mail to an external mail server defined with MX record in the DNS zone.
[-] Issue resolved for Postfix: sqlite3 error appeared in log files upon an authentication with the CRAM-MD5 method, while the authentication was actually successful.
[-] Issue resolved: The spam training process "spammng" occupied all memory on the Plesk server, and as a result the Spam Filter Training tab was shown incorrectly.
[-] Issue resolved: Reduced upgrade time on servers with a lot of mailboxes.
[-] Issue resolved for Qmail: If there were a redirect and a mail group configured on a mailname to point at the same e-mail address, upon the redirect removal, the address was removed from the mail group as well. For details, see http://kb.parallels.com/en/6072
[-] Issue resolved for Postfix: Plesk changed the order of "smtpd_client_restrictions" rules that were added manually to the Postfix configuration file if black list was enabled via Plesk GUI. For additional details, see http://kb.parallels.com/en/9062.
[-] Issue resolved for Postfix: Now Plesk strictly configures Postfix for using IPv4.
[-] Issue resolved: SPF spam protection worked incorrectly: all messages were resolved only as "neutral" or "pass", and local rules were ignored — a default whitelist was always used.
[-] Issue resolved for Qmail: Neither successful nor failed CRAM-MD5 authentications were added to mail server log files.
[-] Issue resolved: A domain alias was still scanned for spam even though spam filtering was turned off for the mail account. For more details, see http://kb.parallels.com/en/9278.
[-] Issue resolved for Qmail: Mail handlers were used for local deliveries, which could lead to failing a message delivery when it was sent to an alias on the same host.

# ./parallels_products_installer_file_nameParallels Products Installer supports updating Parallels Plesk Panel inside Parallels Virtuozzo Containers using EZ templates. Updating through EZ templates saves disk space and allows running more containers on a single hardware node.
NOTE: Upgrading with EZ templates does not automatically apply the latest product updates which are installed by Parallels Products Installer as microupdates. For information on how to apply microupdates after upgrading with EZ templates, refer to http://kb.parallels.com/en/7110.
This feature is available only when using EZ templates. To upgrade a container with Parallels Plesk Panel this way:
If you are using Virtuozzo 3.x:
vzlinkmgr service, run the following command:
# /etc/init.d/vzlinkmgr startIf you are using Virtuozzo 4.x:
DEVICE_MAJOR=125DefaultAgentCmd = ('vzctl', 'exec', '1', '/opt/vzagent/bin/vzlcon')vzlinkmgr service:# /etc/init.d/vzlinkmgr startTo get the latest OS updates for servers based on CentOS:
Unable to install old Kaspersky Antivirus module (psa-kav package) on RedHat EL 6, new Kaspersky Antivirus 8 (psa-kav8 package) installs instead.
PostgreSQL 8.4 is not supported. Plesk installation fails with "error: package postgresql-server is not installed" if PostgreSQL 8.4 is installed on a server before Plesk. To resolve this issue, remove PostgreSQL 8.4.
Apache on CloudLinux 5.4 may return blanks instead of PHP pages. To resolve this problem, download and install all updates using the command yum update and restart the system if the kernel was upgraded.
After installing Plesk on CloudLinux 5.4, CPU load by the httpd process increases significantly. This happens because the Apache module mod_sucgid, which provides the LVE technology, requires the /dev/lve device that is absent in the system. To install LVE, run the following command:
# yum install mod_hostinglimitsRuby on Rails applications do not work (the Internal Server Error is returned) after upgrade on SuSE 11.0 and CentOS 5.
Postfix is stopped after upgrade on Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6.
Large MySQL databases fail to migrate.
Subdomains with name webmail (webmail.example.com) are not migrated.
Migration does not start with the following error: “Error: No migration agents found. Data migration is not available.” in case custom entries present in the ~/.bashrc for SSH account on the source server. To resolve this issue, refer to the KB article at http://kb.parallels.com/en/8495.
Migration task hangs if migrating more objects (for example, domains) than the number allowed by the license.
Installation of Kasperskiy Anitivirus via EZ template fails on openSuSE 11.0 x64.
Postfix 'spawn' and 'pipe' are not allowed if selinux is turned on. The only way to resolve the issue is to switch selinux off.
Execution of malware detection service of Watchdog (System Monitoring) module can affect performance of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers nodes because it will run on all Parallels Plesk Panel instances at the same time.
It is highly recommended to specify the EZ template of the mail server which you want to use (plesk9.5-qmail or plesk9.5-postfix), when you install Parallels Plesk Panel using EZ templates.
After upgrade to Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 or later, the following or similar errors can be encountered in mail.err or maillog log files:
Unable to get black list record from Plesk database: Table 'psa.GL_remote_domains' doesn't exist
Do not deselect Qmail Mail Server or Postfix Mail Server components during the upgrade to Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 or later because deselecting these components can lead to incorrect work of greylisting.
SpamAssassin will not function properly in Parallels Plesk Panel installed on Fedora Core 4 with SELinux active.
Before upgrading Parallels Plesk Panel from 8.x to 9.x on openSUSE 9.3 server using STD VZ templates via Parallels Business Automation Standard, you need to remove the psa-fcgid-suse93 template and all templates depending on it before starting the upgrade procedure.
By default, TLS support is switched off for Postfix mail server due to Postfix using self-signed SSL certificate. To enable TLS support for Postfix, install a valid SSL certificate and issue the following command:
# postconf -e 'smtp_use_tls=yes'
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng --reload-service
Parallels Plesk Billing objects are not backed up and restored by Parallels Plesk Panel Backup Manager.
If you are experiencing issues with delivery of mailing list messages to local recipients, find the file mm_cfg.py from mailman package on your server and add the following line to the end of this file:
DELIVERY_MODULE='Sendmail'If you are upgrading from Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 and you are using Parallels Plesk Billing, you need to upgrade the billing component when upgrading Parallels Plesk Panel to version 9.5 since Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0.0 from Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 distribution is incompatible with Parallels Plesk Panel 9.5.
Due to the massive amount of changes in Parallels Plesk Panel 9 GUI, old custom (third-party) skins for Plesk 8.x are not compatible with Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 and later. After you upgrade to Parallels Plesk Panel 9.x, all custom (third-party) skins will become unregistered to avoid visual issues.
Language packs for Plesk 8.x are not compatible with Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 and later.
Postfix mail server requires authorization with full mail account names like 'user@domain.com', as opposed to short names like 'user' allowed by Qmail. Upon switching from Qmail to Postfix, the authorization mode will change accordingly, and all mail clients configured to authorize using short names will not be able to send or receive mail through your mail server.
Starting with Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 STD VZ templates are supported only for openSUSE 9.3 i386. Only EZ templates can be used on all other operating systems.
STD VZ templates for openSUSE 9.3 i386 now require PostgreSQL template.
If you had perl-5.8.8.4 or earlier installed on the server before the installation of Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.0 or later, a newer version of mod_perl will be installed on the server by Parallels Plesk Panel. In this case, you might not be able to successfully restart Apache Web server due to mod_perl requiring a newer version of Perl. To resolve this issue, install the latest version of Perl (perl-5.8.8-5 should suffice).
Before creating a domain through CLI for a reseller or a client, make sure that this reseller or client has at least one free IP address in the IP pool for proper domain creation.
If you are using Parallels Plesk Panel in PVC environment, it is strongly recommended to use only the latest operating system templates.
After installing Parallels Plesk Panel with Postfix on a RedHat Enterprise Linux server, Postfix service might be reported as not working while it is actually working correctly. To resolve this issue, simply restart the Postfix service.
If you want to install Parallels Plesk Panel 9.5 with SSO, it is strongly recommended to install SSO version 2.2 to avoid installation errors and ensure proper functioning of Parallels Plesk Panel.
Autoresponder functionality does not work with Qmail mail server on Fedora 8 with SELinux installed.
Native Apache restart script might not work correctly on openSUSE 11 servers under high workload. To resolve this issue, restart Apache manually.

If the component was previously installed in a Container, then there are no updates in the repository at autoinstall.plesk.com or the respective EZ template was not installed on a hardware node.
If the component was not previously installed in a Container, then the respective EZ template was not installed on a hardware node.
