Option PHP support greyed out

[Peter Schoenmaker]

Hi,

I'm currently experiencing a problem with Plesk 8.01 on a (old) Fedora Core 4 machine. As the topic explains, I can't check or uncheck the option PHP support under Domains -> click a domain -> Setup because it is greyed out.

I have found out that I can manually turn PHP on and off by editing the psa database table hosting and setting php on true, but since it's a customer's machine I'd like to have this option availible in the web interface. Somehow Plesk doesn't seem to recognize that there's PHP availible on the machine (or that's just my reasoning) .

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Oh, hmm.. some extra information might be nice. Quite some time ago this server crashed and was recovered through a restore. Before the restore this problem wasn't there. Also, php just works fine when I manually enable it in the psa database. The problem is just that it can't be actived and deactivated throught the webinterface.

[root@myserver]# which php
/usr/bin/php
[root@myserver]# php -v

Of course, as soon as you post the problem to the forum you find the solution. ;-) The problem was, for those who want to know, that the rpm database wasn't backuped and thus not restored during the restore. rpm -qa |grep php didn't give any output resulting in Plesk not knowing PHP was available on the server.
