Resolved Multiple PHP versions have appeared in PLESK that shouldn't be installed

[weareimpulse]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.76

So, since about a week ago, tons of PHP handlers have appeared in my PLESK/Server.

in the updater, it only shows PHP 8.4 & 8.5 (which is what I want) but there also loads of older ones showing, all with (Secured) in the title.

Has anyone seen this and knows who to clear them out?

Thanks...

Hi, @weareimpulse . Most likely the "TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support for PHP" extension has been installed on your server. Please navigate to Extensions > My extensions to double-check. Could you please also connect to the server and execute the following command:

plesk bin php_handler --list

hi, so, i;ve not go TuxCare installed, checked all 3 of my servers. Theyre all doing the same thing to be fair.

here the list that shows in SSH:

Thank you for the confirmation. Do you happen to have Imunify installed on the server? I consulted with our team and one of our devs suggested that this looks like quite similar to the way Imunify behaves.

Hello,
I Have exactly the same problem as named above and yes I have imunyfy360 installed.

I have hardened php installed and then they installed also the other versions of php, when you disable/ uninstall hardened php of imunify then they are gone.

Thank you for the insights, @rsnetworks . Indeed. these are CloudLinux handlers that added for legacy PHP versions when the Hardened-PHP feature is enabled.

Yeah, just tried this, removed the Hardred PHP thing from 360, and it's back to how it should be, thanks for the help!
