  • 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.

Input For security reasons: Turn off outputting PHP Version and also Webserver Version

Jan Bludau

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 12
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.58
Domain PHP Configuration: Add the following lines for security reasons:

Code:
exposephp = off
servertokens off

Why didn’t Plesk decide to make these lines available as options in Plesk? In my opinion, it’s irrelevant which version I use when it comes to port scanning or Showdan.io. Especially with Showdan.io, you can filter vulnerable computers in seconds, for example, find problematic web servers or PHP versions.

I suggest providing options in the GUI for ON / OFF, although someone at Plesk should first explain to me why these version numbers of web servers like Nginx / Apache and PHP should be made public at all. Here are my suggestions for GUI options:

  • “Display PHP version publicly” = On / Off (default: exposephp = off)
  • “Display web server version” = On / Off (default: servertokens off)
