  • 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.

File sharing doesn't work in 12.5 with FPM + Apache PHP handler

Polmonino

Basic Pleskian
Plesk v12.5.30_build1205150826.19 os_CentOS 7
CentOS Linux 7.1.1503 (Core)

It works with FastCGI but not with FPM handler, depending on the domain PHP configuration. And this is strange, why the "File sharing" tab should use the configured PHP handler instead of the global PHP handler?

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1) Create a new subscription
2) Choose "FPM application server by Apache" as PHP handler
3) Click on the "File Sharing" tab
4) See the red alert with "Internal error: Internal Server Error" message. Folder listing shows "Unable to load folders list. Retry"

Domain log:

[Sun Sep 20 19:50:36.815159 2015] [core:error] [pid 8611:tid 140469086402304] [client 192.168.1.166:51314] AH00027: No authentication done but request not allowed without authentication for /files/private/admin/index.php. Authentication not configured?

Panel log:

[2015-09-20 19:45:12] ERR [panel] File sharing list retrieval failed: sharing type=private, error=Internal Server Error

That is, file sharing functionality is completely unusable in this release, at least with my setup (need FPM). Tried to disable selinux, didn't work too.

Hi @Polmonino!

It's a known issue that File sharing doesn't work with FPM and Apache: http://kb.odin.com/en/126769

Unfortunately, it's no supported in such configuration.

But there is workaround: create technical domain with FastCGI and set it as a domain for file sharing in Tools & Settings > File Sharing.
