Cause

The domain mentioned in the error messages has been deleted, but the Plesk database ( psa ) still contains orphaned entries for this domain.

Alternatively, the Plesk database was not properly upgraded, due to which the DomainServices table has no records of the web type.

Resolution

Note: This article may require additional administrative knowledge to apply. If any help required, contact server’s administrator or hosting support.

Warning: Please check that the domain physically exists before making changes. If it does, back up all the domain content from the corresponding directories /var/www/vhosts/<domain> and /var/qmail/mailnames/<domain> (in case of Linux) or from C:Inetpubvhosts and %plesk_dirMailEnablepostoffices% (in case of Windows).

There are several possible scenarios:

Scenario 1. The domain still exists physically in Plesk

Scenario 2. Domain does not exist physically in Plesk

Scenario 3. Applicable when domain exists or does not exist in Plesk

Connect to the server via SSH (Plesk for Linux) or RDP (Plesk for Windows)
Create Plesk database backup
Remove the domain with ID in psa.domains mentioned in the first error message from the PSA database (the command is the same for both Windows and Linux):
```
plesk db "DELETE FROM domains WHERE id='41'"
```
Find orphaned records in the databases as follows:

For Plesk on Linux
1. Create psa and apsc database backups:
  
  # plesk db dump psa > /root/psa_dump_$(date +'%Y-%m-%d').sql
  
  # plesk db dump apsc > /root/apsc_dump_$(date +'%Y-%m-%d').sql
2. Find orphaned records in table psa.domains using the values mentioned in the error messages:
  
  # grep 'bd314c87-865a-46e6-b694-342e71899445'…
