6. Known Problems and Limitations

  1. After upgrading Parallels Pro Control Panel 5.0.0 server to Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.2.0, ColdFusion extensions propagate only to newly created subdomains for existing sites provisioned with ColdFusion. ColdFusion extensions do not propagate to existing subdomains. If ColdFusion is removed and re-provisioned for a site, only then do ColdFusion extensions propagate across all site subdomains. However, newly created sites and subdomains will not have this issue.
  2. Provisioning MailEnable 2.0 for a site fails after changing the .NET framework version for the site from 1.1 to 2.0. The following error message is displayed:

    "Server Application Unavailable".
    "The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request."

    To resolve this issue:

    1. Connect to the server using remote desktop or any other remote administrator tool. Login to the server as administrator.
    2. Browse to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727.
    3. Add permissions for the IME_ADMIN user on this folder. To do so, select the folder and right-click properties. Then select Security. Click Add to add the user IME_Admin. Verify that the default permissions Read, Read&execute, List are selected. Click Advanced option > Replace Permission entries on all child objects.
    4. Browse to the folder v2.0.50727. Select the file aspnet_isapi.dll , then right-click properties. Then select Security. Click Add to add the user IME_Admin to this file. Select the permission Full Control to assign to the IME_Admin user.
    3. MailEnable 2.0 provisioned for a site is now available on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server.
  3. While deleting a site provisioned with Community Server and DotNetNuke Power Tools, you may intermittently see the following error message on the Action Log page in the Parallels Pro Control Panel.

    "Warning: Powertools destroy failed: The directory is not empty"

    This error message is displayed if some Power Tool-related files are locked while the site is being deleted. Due to this, the site's file system is not deleted completely during the site deletion process. If you now try to import this site, the import process fails since the site's file system was not deleted completely during the site deletion process. To resolve this issue, you need to manually delete that site's file system on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, then import the site using the Parallels Pro Control Panel.
  4. FrontPage widgets do not work on a sub domain's pages.
  5. You cannot disable the SSL option from a site that is being used as a shared SSL host by other sites. Currently, there is also no check to disallow deletion of the shared SSL host.
  6. Currently there is no check to prevent the deletion of a parked domain host. If a parked domain host is deleted, the domains parked on it are also deleted. (PR 34464)
  7. While provisioning Power Tools to a site, if the Indexing Service is running on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, then the Power Tools provisioning operation fails. To resolve this issue, you need to disable the Indexing Service on the Parallels Pro Control Panel server.
  8. The Set Default Permissions feature in File Manager resets all the customized permissions enabled for the site's users.
  9. If the Network Properties window is open on the main or terminal session to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, you may get errors while adding IP-based sites using the Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.2.0 control panel. If you try to delete an IP-based site, the IP address will not be released from the server's network adapter. This could lead to inconsistency if you try to provision a new site with the same IP address.
  10. The FTP counters returned by IIS do not always return proper data. As a result, the FTP bandwidth usage displayed in the control panel may be inaccurate.
  11. You cannot assign SSL certificates to the sub-domains of a secured site.
