Resolved Optimize with Performance Booster

[llucas]

Server operating system version

Debian 11.11

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64

Hello, good morning

I wanted to know why this domain doesn't let me use the PHP optimization option to see if I get better results. In some domains that I have on the server it does let me optimize it but not in this one. I don't know

Can you help me? I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks,

You seem to have logged in as a user, not as an administrator. Is this your server?

Hi Maarten, thanks for your reply.

I am an administrator and I can do everything on the server. Except for two sites where I don't know what could be happening.

I am attaching a screenshot of the sites where I have been able to optimize and those where I have marked NO.

Thanks for your help, good afternoon!!

As I understand from the first screenshot, you have to reset the open_basedir values for those domains to make this work:

Hi

I've figured it out. This is where I have to put the PHP parameters, it seems.

Thanks for your help, I've learned a lot!!!

That's where Plesk should have added the extra configuration, but it couldn't because of your openbase_dir settings.
I didn't know that either so we both learned something today

I have the same thing but the open_basedir settings for the domain(s) are set to standard.
When I open the details link in the optimize popup, the very first line says
open_basedir=
I don't know where this comes from.
I am on ubuntu 24 with the lastest plesk.

Also the optimizer says I should install the outdated php 8 version.
I only have php 8.2 to 8.4 installed.
Why would I install php 8.0 :-D

Hopefully someone has a hint for me.
Regards

Hello, @roon Please try removing all additional directives and attempt to re-apply the setting:

• https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...s-are-specified-in-this-domain-s-PHP-settings

As for the recommendation to use an older PHP version than your current one, this is a known bug identified with ID EXTPLESK-5245. We will introduce a fix for it in one of the future releases. In the meantime, please just ignore it. Apologies for any possible confusion caused.

Thanks for your reply, this worked to have this green check icon but:
1. I removed the extra php settings everything else was set to standard
2. I could run the optimization.
3. After the optimisation the open_basedir setting of php was =""
4. I re-applied open_basedir setting of the domain
5. Optimizer says the same as of before.

conclusion, It did not work, let my domain/server in a very dangeous state.
The real question is which part of plesk is writing that wrong directive into the file (see screenshot above)
There you see open_basedir="" before the automated "additional directives ...." of the optimizer

The Performance Booster does disable open_basedir (i.e. set an empty value) as open_basedir can significantly hamper the performance of a website.

That being said, even without the Performance Booster extension, Plesk nowadays seems to disable open_basedir for newly created websites per default, even if the Service-Plan has it set. (and would be the default)
I do not like this behavior as it does not do what it's configured to do, despite the fact that I don't have any problem with not configuring open_basedir at all. (no real security gain anyway)
