Cause

This is Plesk bug # PPPM-6351 which will be fixed in one of the future updates.

Resolution

As a workaround :

1. Back up the files /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/deployer and /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pmm-ras :

# cp /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/deployer /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/deployer.orig
# cp /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pmm-ras /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pmm-ras.orig

2. Download the attachment 1 and attachment 2

3. Replace files mentioned on the step 1 with the downloaded ones.
