Common Issues
Running Blesta on Plesk
Are you running Blesta on a Plesk server that you are provisioning accounts to? If so, you must enable Apache graceful restart in Plesk.
If you are running Blesta on a Plesk server that you are provisioning accounts to you must enable Apache graceful restart in Plesk. This is necessary because after provisioning an account in Plesk, Plesk will restart Apache thereby killing the API connection. Blesta will never receive the response from Plesk that the account has been provisioned.

Symptoms
By default, Plesk does not use Apache graceful restart for applying new settings. As result Apache will be restarted every time you change hosting settings through the Plesk GUI. This can lead to unwanted interruptions of sites operation.
Resolution
To enable graceful restart, you should add the parameter "restart_apache_gracefully" with a "true" value to the "misc" table of the "psa" database. For that:
Log in to the Plesk database:
mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -Dpsa
Apply the following SQL query:
mysql> INSERT INTO misc VALUES ('restart_apache_gracefully', 'true');
