  • 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.

[Bug] httpd.include unconditionally doing php_admin_flag; Workarounds please?

Using Plesk 7.5 on Debian Sarge with Apache 2.0; trying to get PHP to run as CGI under a suExec regime.

/etc/apache2/httpd.include as written by Plesk looks like this:

Code:
...
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts">
  ...
  php_admin_flag engine off
</Directory>

PHP is installed as CGI, not as a module, so Apache doesn't know what php_admin_flag is and will refuse to start.

Here's how the lines should look like:

Code:
...
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts">
  ...
  <IfModule mod_php4>
    php_admin_flag engine off
  </IfModule>
</Directory>

(There should probably be a corresponding section for PHP3, but I don't know how the syntax might vary.)

As a temporary fix, I'm still loading mod_php4, but it's just a waste of RAM (which isn't plentiful on that particular machine).

Is there another workaround, one that doesn't require loading mod_php3 or manually updating httpd.include after ever change?
