• 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. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Input Plesk internally retains PHP config after switched off for a domain

TimReeves

Regular Pleskian
If a domain was ever registered in Plesk with PHP Support, it still has the entries for that in some tables, even when support has been turned off.

This leads to nasty side effects:
  1. When the PHP config for Plesk is regenerated, the fpm pool configs get generated for Domains w/o PHP support - complete waste of resources.
  2. Even worse: If the PHP handler still noted has been removed (uninstalled) then a new config cannot be generated. Plesk complains that the noted handler has "probably been removed" - true - but it is not in actual use, the removal was a considered act.
To get around this problem, change the noted PHP handler for the problem domain in the Plesk DB:
  • Tools & Settings | Database Servers | Tool-Icon far right (for phpMyAdmin)
  • Select Database psa, then table "hosting"
  • Find the table row you need to change via the column values in "www_root"
  • Change the cell value at "php_handler_id" to one which is still registered,
    e.g. "plesk-php56-fpm" => "plesk-php70-fpm"
Now you can regenerate the web server configuration for that domain at the Plesk GUI.
