  • 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.

Resolved alt-php73 handlers getting auto-installed

c0m

Basic Pleskian
Recently, these 3 PHP handlers started appearing in Plesk:

alt-php73-cgi
alt-php73-fastcgi
alt-php73-fpm

This is in addition to the normal PHP 7.3 handlers for CGI/FastCGI/FPM.

When I remove the alt-php handlers with these commands, they come back and auto-install themselves after a while - probably after a Plesk update.

plesk bin php_handler --remove -id alt-php73-cgi
plesk bin php_handler --remove -id alt-php73-fastcgi
plesk bin php_handler --remove -id alt-php73-fpm

How do I remove these handlers for good and not receive them ever again (while keeping the regular PHP 7.3 handler of course)? And where are they coming from - a while ago I trialied Imunify360 on the server, which have since uninstalled, and I remember it came with some alt PHP handlers, so could it be some leftover from then?
 
alt-php73-cgi
alt-php73-fastcgi
alt-php73-fpm
Looks like you have Plesk on CloudLinux, because it is CloudLinux PHP handlers and related packages.
As a possible solution try to remove these packages from your system.

Thanks Igor. After looking on the CloudLinux forums because of your suggestion, somebody has asked a similar question, so I've uninstalled the alt-php packages with the command yum groupremove alt-php
