If update is not possible for some reason, use the workaround:
-
Connect to the server using RDP.
-
Execute the following query to activate the domain example.com:
UPDATE domains SET status = 0 WHERE name = 'example.com'; -
Execute the following queries to find webspace ID and activate the subscription:
Find the webspace ID:
SELECT IF(d2.id IS NOT NULL, d2.id, d.id) AS 'Webspace ID' FROM domains d LEFT JOIN domains d2 ON d.webspace_id = d2.id WHERE d.name = 'example.com'; +-------------+ | Webspace ID | +-------------+ | 123313 | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)Update the webspace statuses using the ID from the previous query:
UPDATE domains SET webspace_status = 0 WHERE id = 123313 OR webspace_id = 123313;
