Plesk 12.5 runs two scheduled tasks every day to compile web statistics and perform daily maintenance. By default, Plesk will send an email to the administrator every time each the tasks completes, which some users may consider a minor annoyance. Fortunately, it’s easy to adjust the notification options for these scripts so that emails are only generated when an error occurs.

In this article, we discuss the backup and restore of databases in Plesk. In earlier versions of Plesk, it was required to use database management tools to dump your databases. But in Plesk 12.5, it allows you to backup a database (by exporting a database dump as an SQL file) and then restoring them (by importing a database dump as an SQL file) without actually having to leave the control panel! Let’s take a look at how to accomplish this task…

You can add or edit users, and create and assign roles via Plesk’s user settings page. The method for accessing user settings is slightly different in various Plesk views:

• This article is specifically intended for generating a Certificate Signing Request and installing a standard SSL certificate on a Windows server running Plesk.
• We’ll walk through ordering the SSL via Liquid Web’s Manage interface, but you can use the CSR you generate in Plesk to purchase an SSL from the vendor of your choice.
• If your Windows server is running Plesk 12.5 or higher, you can check out our tutorial on Using Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates with Plesk 12.5.

For security, Liquid Web can only provide account information to the account owner and their authorized representatives. Whenever you need to give a third party access to your account, be it your developer, administrator, or billing or IT department, you should know that you don’t have to share your Manage credentials. You can easily add authorized users to your account — and configure specific roles for them — directly from within your Manage interface.

• This article is intended specifically for transferring email between two different accounts.
• The email accounts can be on the same server or on two different servers, and it makes no difference whether either or both of the accounts are hosted on your own server or through a web service such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
• This article refers to a source email account and a destination email account:
  • Source refers to the email account containing the messages you want to sync to another account. In this example, we’re using sample@example.net as the source account.
  • Destination refers to the email account that to which you want to sync emails from the source account. In this example, we’re using sample@example.com as the destination account.
• This article covers the procedure in the Thunderbird mail client, which is available for computers running Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. For your convenience, we have comprehensive guides to help you set up a new email account in any of the following mail clients: Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and Outlook 2016. To obtain specific connection settings for an email account on a cPanel server, you may refer to How To Set up Any Email Client.

Step #1: Add the Destination IMAP Account in Your Mail Client

If you use only Webmail or a mobile device to access your destination email account, or if you currently use POP3 for the account (learn more about the difference in account types at IMAP vs. POP3 Email), you will need to set it up in a desktop email client using IMAP in order to sync the messages. If you already have your destination email account (to which you’ll be transferring the emails) configured locally using IMAP in Thunderbird, Outlook, or Apple Mail, you can skip this step and proceed to Step #2.

Overview

On March 2, Exim announced via its mailing list that it had discovered a vulnerability in all versions of its mail transport agent. Exim is the default MTA on cPanel servers. The latest version patches the vulnerability, and the latest cPanel update resolves the issue.

Overview

A new flaw has been found in the Secure Sockets Layer version 2.0 (SSLv2) protocol. An attacker could theoretically exploit this vulnerability to bypass RSA encryption, even when connecting via a newer protocol version, if the server also supports the older SSLv2 standard.

If the root MySQL password is required and can’t be located, it can be retrieved or reset.
