All my domains have the hosting option to support Python. I've used PHP, but I'm not sure how I take advantage of Python. 1. Can I embed it into an HTML document like I do with PHP, eg. <?PHP code ?> 2. Or do I access it like a CGI script? 3. Another way?

Since upgrading from Plesk 11 to Plesk 12.5, my Drupal 6 admin pages, when I save configuration information (presumably to the mySQL database) have become very slow. What used to take perhaps 10 seconds, may now take upwards of a minute before control is returned. I'm still running PHP 5.3.3 as...

My hosts are trying to upgrade my managed server from Plesk 11.5 to Plesk 12.5, but they tell me it is failing with the following error messages, which they say is due to me "upgrading MySQL using the atomic repository". I have no idea what that means, I wouldn't know how to do it, but is there...

When travelling, it would be useful to be able to transfer files from Google Drive, directly to my Plesk server accounts. For example, Google Drive contains master copies of my files, I edit an index.htm file, and then transfer it directly to a particular web space. It would be useful to be...

Can't it do both with two links (Open log | Open log in new window)? That would keep everyone happy.

Is there a way to enable Secure FTP (or similar) without having to force all my customers to buy an SSL certificate? I just want to prevent passwords being transmitted in the clear. Added 15 Mar 2014: I guess I could buy an SSL certificate for my server IP address, and get all my customers to...

Thanks for that, I don't think I want to disable short logins just now. But the Roundcube configuration option looks interesting, though I'm not sure where to start. Is there a configuration file on my server that I need to look at?

When I log-in to Roundcube Webmail using the short form of my username, Roundcube tries to send out email from username@localhost. Can the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) be derived (from the log-in URL) in order to prevent this? When I log-in using the FQDN, everything works fine. I know...

I'm using more than version of fastCGI PHP per "How to install and use two versions of PHP on the same Plesk for Linux server". It would be useful to: Have an automatic installation option, with optional extensions, so that I don't have to hassle my host each time I want a new version. (and...

Which suggests that I can't make use of the extensions that are already available with the default server PHP, or are extensions version specific, and get updated as PHP gets updated?

Ah yes, I see that my Redhat CentOS 5.9 (Final) is responsible for this. I'll go and have moan at them, although this seems standard across other distribution, so I'm guessing there is a good reason for it.

A domain's selected FastCGI PHP 5.3.27 doesn't seem to be including the specified optional gd extension, though it has taken note of my selection of open_basedir=none. I am running Plesk 11.5.30 update 22 with PHP 5.3.3, Linux CentOS 5.9 (Final) My hosts have setup alternative versions of...

My Plesk 11.5 includes PHP 5.3.3 as the default, a version that is over three years old. I know I can select other version of PHP, but can't the default version of be updated? The next Drupal v8 is complaining that it requires at least 5.3.10, though the latest 5.3.27 would be preferred as it is...

It would be nice if SpamAssassin could be configured from the Plesk control planel. Anything the involves root access to files is difficult.

Thanks for that, thought I note that no version numbers are provided with RoundCube.
