  • 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.

Issue Cannot change pm.max_children in domain PHP settings

charlesmass

New Pleskian
I'm having trouble understanding how pm.max_children works in PHP settings of a specific domain.
What I did :
- Websites and domains
- Scroll to my domain "example.com" and click "PHP Settings (v7.4.8)"
- Under "PHP-FPM settings", entered "200" as the value for "pm.max_children"
- Clicked "Apply" (or "Ok", does the same)

Although the value entered remains when I come back to the PHP settings, it doesn't seem to be taken into account in /opt/plesk/php/7.4/etc/php-fpm.d/example.com.conf.
And I get a lot of " WARNING: [pool example.com] server reached max_children setting (20), consider raising it"
Can anyone help me with that ?

I checked
- "Run PHP as FPM Application served by nginx" is enabled.
- pm is set to "ondemand"
- Changing other settings works for example.com (I tried changing "pm", "pm.start_servers", "memory_limit", ...)
- I tried setting the same value for another domain example2.com which is set as "Run PHP as FPM Application served by Apache" on version 7.2 and it worked perfectly
- I tried creating a new domain to test if there was an issue with PHP 7.4 or nginx. I created a domain with the exact same settings as example.com and it worked : /opt/plesk/php/7.4/etc/php-fpm.d/test.com.conf showed "pm.max_children = 200"

=> Do I need to re-create my domain example.com ?
I'd rather not do that to prevent any issue with my current users.
Any way to reset something ?

Many thanks !
