Virtual hosts are mounted over NFS:

Cause
Nginx configuration leftovers.

Resolution
1.Connect to the server via SSH

2.Delete the leftovers:

#rm /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/example.com.conf
# rm -rf /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/
# rm /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/webmails/example.com_webmail.conf

3.Reconfigure the webserver:

#plesk repair web -y
Note for servers with NFS: NFS partitions are currently not supported by Plesk. Please vote for such implementation in our UserVoice portal
