  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

PHP not installed with Plesk, installed later but Plesk will not see it.

I leased a dedicated server from a company and it appears they did not install PHP as an option during the Plesk installation. I was able to install PHP with yum, but this doesn't tell Plesk that it's available for domains. Therefore, no domains will work with PHP and this is a big stumbling block for me right now as I cannot migrate sites from another server. When I look at "Server Components", for PHP I see, "The component was not installed".

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
 
There are two PHP in Plesk - one for Plesk admin interface (sw-cp-server) and one for client's sites (Apache):

Plesk admin's php:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini

Client's php:

/usr/bin/php
/etc/php.ini

In Components Management you may see client's PHP only. Make sure that you have these files, that php is installed (rpm -q php) and try to click Refresh button in Components Management.
 
Thanks for the response.

All of the files you listed do exist on my system (I'm running Red Hat Enterprise 5).

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -v
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Oct 30 2009 16:54:36)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

# /usr/bin/php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Jan 14 2010 13:11:11)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

And PHP is installed,

# rpm -qa | grep php
php-imap-5.1.6-27.el5
php-gd-5.1.6-27.el5
psa-php5-configurator-1.5.3-rhel5.build95100409.18
php-mbstring-5.1.6-27.el5
php-pdo-5.1.6-27.el5
php-xml-5.1.6-27.el5
php-cli-5.1.6-27.el5
php-common-5.1.6-27.el5
php-mysql-5.1.6-27.el5

I went into the "Components Management" screen and clicking "Refresh" does not result in a change for the php component.

You are correct, of course, I'm not sure why that package wasn't installed previously. I installed it and everything is now working properly. Thanks for your help!
