I'm unable to create a new domain. I ran a script to automatically update the improper AUTO_INCREMENTS value. That was sucessful. However, I now have new error messages (below) which brought me to this article. I get stuck on step two, I don't have a folder "templates". I'm running Plesk Onyx.
# mv /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/domainVirtualHost.php{,.backup}
mv: cannot stat ‘/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/domainVirtualHost.php’: No such file or directory

Hi @Jeffrey Zeunert,
"AUTO_INCREMENTS value" should not affect this setting.
This article is applicable when there are custom templates exist on a server. it is indicated in the symptoms:
# find /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom -type f
Your error regarding missing templates mean that there are no custom templates. So we can ignore "No such file or directory" error regarding custom templates and concentrate on the main error:
New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: Template processing failed: file = /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domainVhost.php, error = Template_Exception: No data.
To fix it, try to run:
# plesk repair web
If it does not help, consider submitting a support request to Plesk directly or to a reseller, depending on where the license was purchased.
Hi Yulia. Thanks for your help. I ended up doing the upgrade to Obsidian and that resolved the problem. Good to know about custom templates and # plesk repair web.
