httpd (apache) replacement on CentOS7, missing component in plesk

[MatejM]

Hi,

I'm testing the new plesk 12.5 panel on a test server trying to build a modern LAMP stack with full HTTP/2 support.

I'm trying to update the default package httpd (2.4.6) from the CentOS repository with the package httpd24u (2.4.18) from the IUS repo. The install is successfully and as far as I can see everything is set up the same as in the default package (bin directory, service name, conf directory, error log directory) but plesk has an error "The component was not installed". So ofcourse there are multiple problems.

My question is: how exactly does plesk check if the component is installed or not? (via package name?)

On a similar note, is there a way to replace sw-nginx with a custom build one?

Have you tried to click Refresh button in Server Components?

No way. There are many our internal patches.

Yes I did, that's why i'm interested in how plesk checks if the service is installed ("httpd -v" command works as expected, service is running on the server with the name httpd, the only difference is the installed package name. httpd24u.xx instead of httpd.xx)

No way. There are many our internal patches.

In that case, do you have any plans to build a centos sw-nginx version with a newer OpenSSL version (ALPN support... maybe even chacha20 cipher patch?).

Like I said, my interest is to build a modern webserver that fully supports HTTP/2. These options won't be included in centos 7 for years (and even then, an upgrade to next major release will probably be required).

This is the problem. Name should be httpd.

We have no such plans. You can try to build your own package on your own risk or just wait when we will support Ubuntu 16.04 where we will support ALPN due to openssl 1.0.2 there.
