  • 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.

Question How can I enable shell_exec

By default, the function shell_exec is available for customers. If this function is not listed in the disable_functions parameter value field, it is enabled.

This can be checked in Plesk > Domains > example.com > PHP Settings > View phpinfo() page, as described in this article.

However, FFmpeg is not shipped by default within Plesk, but it can be installed for PHP 5.6 provided by Plesk only. It cannot be installed for PHP 7.x provided by Plesk due to conflicts with Zend, as per this article.

For other conditions, it could be installed following the FFmpeg instructions in their official guide or this external guide, but it is considered a third-party application and should be installed on your own.
