  • 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.

Question How to run php cli to install autoloader

brownbag

Basic Pleskian
I'm setting up Mailgun for my Plesk Server and need to install the autoloader with the command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

I get the error, "Command 'php' not found, but can be installed with ...".

I get the same error with the simple 'php -v' command.

It appears that php cli is not working, so I can't run php commands with the command line. Php is working fine on my mail server but I'm struggling with getting it to work from the command line.

I've tried to install the cli (sudo apt-get install php7-cli) but that hasn't worked.

I've also read that I should add the /bin/php/ folder to my path (in my case that is bin/php is found in /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php), but I can't see how that will help as I navigated to that folder as root user then ran the 'php -v' command and it still didn't work.

Any help appreciated.
