  • 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.

Issue PHP-CGI

ITTECH

Basic Pleskian
Dears,
I am sorry for re-posting these but really i need help, what can i do?
I have VPS which run plesk 11.0.9 and windows server 2008 standerd, recently i have noticed that it is too slow so I open the task manager to see the resources and found that there are multiple php-cgi.exe processes running and uses most of the cpu.
Please be informed that my website use php fastcgi mode.
I restarted IIS and plesk services, the processes gone for a while and returned, So, what can i do for tunning or recycling php prcesses.
would you please help me with issue?

Yours sincerely.
 
ITTECH,

It's going to be almost impossible for anyone on the Plesk forum to answer your question. There are thousands of possible reasons why php-cgi.exe might be causing high CPU load.
  • A mis-configuration of your CMS (WordPress? Joomla? DNN? Something else?).
  • A poorly coded, out of date, or unsupported CMS plugin.
  • The App Pool recycling settings in IIS for your server in general or for specific application pools.
  • The version of PHP you are using.
  • Whether you're using different Application Pools per site, or whether they're all bundled into one pool.
  • Missing Windows or IIS patches.
  • ...
Chances are pretty good that the issue doesn't have to do with Plesk itself, more likely it has something to do with the site/content you're running.

Greg
