  • 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.

Plesk 11.5 Applications - Why allow opencart when mCrypt not installed?

New Pleskian
Hi,

I tried to do a regular installation of Opencart using FTP, only the installation requires mCrypt.
So I decided to use the application installation via Plesk (thinking it would install any extras it requires) but upon the message "OpenCart was successfully installed at http://mydomain.com/opencart." and trying to open the homepage I just get a white screen. Doh! This leads me to believe that mCript wasn't installed when installing Opencart via Plesk.

My issue is - why allow installations of applications that require additional packages to be installed, display a success page, and not mention the fact that mCrypt needs to be installed first?

Rant over :)

I will just have to install mCrypt via SSH and accept the Plesk update warnings of third-party repos.

Cheers
 
If you install extensions such as mCrypt using a different repo, the next time you go to update Plesk you get a warning that the update may fail because third-party repo was used.
Kinda missed the point though about the applications being available to install, and showing as installed correctly, when in fact they will not function correctly.
 
AFAIK, there are no such warnings now. Regarding mcrypt and OpenCart - this looks to be OpenCart packaging problem (not declaring that it needs mcrypt).
 
Yea I just noticed those warnings no longer show, Opencart standard installation does state that it requires mCrypt but Plesk install does not.

Click to expand...
The declaration is not made or determined by plesk but the APS packaging. If it's not defined in the aps APP-META.xml then plesk would not know it's requirement.

I know you may wonder how then plesk is able to install it without that requirement met, well it does easily because it just copies files to the respective path and dumps the SQL dump files to the respective database and finely creates it's respective config file ...
