  • 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.

Question Dedicated FPM application and subdomains

Hello,

In Home > Domains > PHP settings, if I set the "run PHP as" option to "Dedicated FPM application...", will that setting also be applied to all subdomains?

I have multiple subdomains on my website and I was previously using shared FPM with the value "FPM application served by Apache" but when I updated that value for the main domain (domain.tld) to be dedicated and checked "sub1.domain.tld" and "sub2.domain.tld", the old value is still there.
So will every subdomain have its own dedicated pool or will it be applied for the whole website?

The PHP handler only applies to that specific domain. So the handler for sub domain aren't changed.

By default a shared pool is used, however each domain has it's own PHP settings. When a dedicate PHP handler is used the domain runs in a completely separate pool.
 
Thank you for the clarifications.

So just to be 100% sure, if I for example set a dedicated pool for the main domain and every subdomain and then repeat the same settings for the process manager to be static with 100 child processes, I will have 100+(number_of_subdomains x 100) permanent child processes right?
 
I have one other maybe stupid question but are the shared pools only shared by the domain and all its subdomains or are they shared by the whole server?

If for example my server hosts domain.tld (with sub-1.domain.tld & sub-2.domain.tld) and other-domain.tld (with sub.other-domain.tld), when I set the "run PHP as" option to "FPM application served by Apache" (not dedicated) for both domain.tld and other-domain.tld, does that mean that domain.tld and other-domain.tld and all their subdomains share the same pool or each domain with its subdomains has its own pool?
