I’ve just installed on Plesk 11.5 / Centos 6.5 using the recommended procedure. The Atomic php options are not listed in the FastCGi options within Plesk. I checked the php handler list and they are not showing there either.

On installation there was one error, which I wonder might be related:

I’ve used this solution successfully on another server (Plesk 12) for several months now - excellent!

UPDATE:

I've been able to manually add the Atomic PHP versions to the Plesk PHP handler and got things working. However, I'd still like to know whether the error I got was the cause of them not being added by plesk-php-panda

I think there might be cli differences between 11.5 and 12.1 here. As I dont have access to an 11.5 system here, could you check on your system what options /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler supports?

 

[atomicturtle]

Updates are now available for:
* PHP 5.3.29
* PHP 5.4.41
* PHP 5.5.9
* PHP 5.6.9

These updates contain important security updates, and it is highly recommended to upgrade to these versions as soon as possible.

Changelog:
- Security fix for CVE-2014-9709
- Security fix for CVE-2015-2301
- Security fix for CVE-2015-2783

Just wanted to let you know that we woke up this morning after a yum update (that in all fairness shouldn't have been running unsupervised!) to the latest version of PHP Panda. Unfortunately apache wouldn't start, complaining of a segmentation fault, eventually a roll-back in yum of the updates fixed the issues. I didn't have the time or expertise to debug this further, and as far as I could tell there weren't any core dumps.

The only thing I had was a error when I ran apache through strace, something to do with a file write error I think.

 

[atomicturtle]

What exactly did you need to roll back? The SCL packages arent called by apache, so I'm not sure how they could affect it directly.

Do you have an example of the error message as well?

 

[Amy Hesketh]

Thanks for responding

I rolled back the last yum update, which was a package update for plesk-php-panda-0.8-8.el6.art.x86_64 to 0.9-8.el6.art.x86_64

The update installed all the new PHP-7.0.0-0.14.beta3 packages along with libwebp-0.4.3-3 which wasn't installed previously.

I'm afraid I don't have an error specifically, when I attempted to start /etc/init.d/httpd I got an error which was something like this (iirc)

/bin/bash error line 1 (pid:xxx) segmentation fault (core_dumped) /usr/sbin/httpd

I couldn't debug the error for the life of me, untill I noticed a new /etc/httpd/conf.d/ config file and I figured out an update must have happened. I tried removing the config file and disabling some random PHP extensions to no avail.

We run Apache and PHP under fastcgi and mod_php on Plesk (over 300 domains).

Wish I could help more, let me know if you need anything else.

 

[atomicturtle]

Im not sure that is related, the php-panda rpm is just a loader for the rest of the packages. Its job is to add the configs to the Plesk settings. It only runs when the rpm is being updated.

 

[Amy Hesketh]

I understand what you're saying, and I can't be certain which rpm caused the problem, all I can say is undoing the updates resolved the issue. I'm guessing something weird is happening to either the apache configs or the PHP configs/extensions. I know plesk was still operational while apache was down, and I looked into the hosting settings and didn't see PHP 7 show up as a PHP version, are there additional commands to run to get it to show up? I had 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 that we had configured on first install (we didn't need < 5.4).

I do recall getting a error along the lines of "httpd segmentation fault error 4 in libc-2.12.so" but I don't know if that helps.

[Pan_Duke]

is it safe to yum remove plesk-php-panda?
should i first return to the vendor's php version for all websites?

 

[StéphanS]

@atomicturtle what is the best way to uninstall PHP Panda?
