IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

My domain is: querblick-it.de and www.querblick-it.de

I ran this command: plesk addon

It produced this output:

My operating system is (include version):

My web server is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): Plesk Onyx
Version 17.0.17

What command are you running ? or is this the plesk plugin ?

If the latter it sounds like a bug in either the plugin or, possibly more likely, your domain configs for some reason. I’d suggest checking your apache config and seeing if there is a www.www in there.

For some reason you’ve got a redirect in place:

osiris@desktop ~ $ curl -v www.querblick-it.de

osiris@desktop ~ $

You probably want this redirect for querblick-it.de -> www.querblick-it.de, but apparently, it also redirects www -> www.www :stuck_out_tongue:

So check your Apache configuration (.conf file or .htaccess) for a broken redirect.

Thanks @Osiris. There was an error in the plesk configuration.
