• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

19-5-2015 Plesk auto update crashed multiple PHP versions

Pan_Duke

Basic Pleskian
Today all my 3 Plesk servers where auto updated. one of them failed (all are Centos 6.5)
Wordpress websites crashed with message:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

after an hour of downtime i found a solution.
in this server i had installed php 5.4 as of the recent features of plesk in the "Add or Remove Components" section. Today all websites with changed php versions (from 5.3 to 5.4) crashed. In the Hosting section of each one i found that instead of displaying the php version i choose (5.4.32), it was written "$version"
So i changed that to 5.3.3 and i got:
Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

did a server reboot after some cold sweats and everything is back to normal except.... the multiple php versions are dissapeared and from the hosting settings i get to choose between "5.3.3" and "$version"......

no i am stuck with 5.3.3 and thankfully there are only wordpress sites in this one. if there where Joomla ones then it would be a nightmare since Joomla is no more compatible with 5.3.3

So what happened in todays update? how can i restore 5.4 version safely without risking my servers health
