• 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.

Various Questions

New Pleskian
Warning, lots of questions ahead!

I'm using CloudLinux 6.5 with Plesk Panel 12. I searched briefly to answer these questions myself, but dind't find any satisfactory answers.
  1. Plesk uses fcgi for PHP-processing by default. How safe is this against the shell-shock bug?
    For those not knowing: The shell-shock is the misuse of environment variables. When including them in web-request, you can get a CGI-processor to execute your code. Very dangerous.
  2. Where do I disable the sending of ETags in the HTTP Host headers?
  3. How do I filter other headers? The Plesk version of NGINX does not seem to be compiled with the more_headers module...
  4. My mail is hosted on a different server, so I disabled Plesk's mail functionality. I configured roundcube (/usr/share/psa-roundcube) to use that server, and it works. But to make it work, I needed to edit the template file to include ServerName webmail. Is it possible to enable this on the control panel? See attached screenshot. (Within Custom View Settings > Mail)
  5. Is it possible to let external things (like a cache server) add the consumed bandwith/diskspace totals count?
If I have more questions, I will add them later.

Edit: Another question.

Thanks!
