The user describing it in the thread is on 17.0/Debian 8.7. We have seen the same behavior on 17.0/CentOS 7.2. I could reproduce it there several times. I could not reproduce it on a 17.5/CentOS 7.3 test machine.

Run Joomla 3.5.7 installation from the apps repository.
ACTUAL RESULT:Error during installation.
EXPECTED RESULT:Installation works.
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:A workaround is to first install Joomla 3.5.6 from the apps repository and then use the Plesk built-in "upgrade" function for Joomla to upgrade to 3.5.7. The upgrade works perfectly. It is only the initial installation from the apps repository that fails.
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:Confirm bug
