  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

apache modules

Heppi75

Basic Pleskian
hi,

I am just looking to improve apache performance. so there are a lot of modules activated by default in plesk. I would think that the following modules could be disabled. could anyone have a look if plesk itself needs any of this modules or if it's worth disabling them for performance - does anyone have recommendations which modules are needed for a normal webserver?

disable:
proxy_balancer
proxy_ajp
proxy_express
proxy_fcgi
proxy_fdpass
proxy_ftp
proxy_scgi
proxy_wstunnel

needed - or also disable?:
vhost_alias
version
status
dumpio
cache_disk
ext_filter

mybe someone could give me some recommendations ...

Hi Heppi75,

to inform yourself about apache2 - modules, you might want to read: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/

Because we don't know the web-content of your domains on your server, we really can't give recommendations for your apache configuration. Tuning a webserver is unique and based on the web-content and the traffic and last but not least, depends as well on your server, the server configuration(s) and modifications, which are as well unique.
A very good source for tutorials and modifications is https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials , where you will find very good recommendations and easy to follow tutorials, as well as tuning tipps.
