• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Plesk 11.5 wrongly detects PHP 5.2.17 as just PHP 5

StéphanS

Regular Pleskian
Custom versions for 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 all get detected with correct subversion.
But for 5.2.17 it just says PHP 5.

This is the version output of the fresh compiled PHP 5.2.17:

/usr/local/php5.2.17-cgi/bin/php-cgi -q -c /usr/local/php5.2.17-cgi/etc/php.ini <<< '<?php print phpversion(); ?>'
5.2.17


But Plesk shows PHP 5 as version when using this handler.

I can fix this using:

mysql -uadmin -p$(cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow) -D psa -Nse "UPDATE ServiceNodeEnvironment SET value = REPLACE(value, '<version>5</version>', '<version>5.2</version>') WHERE section = 'phphandlers' AND name = 'fastcgi-5.2.17';"


But value gets overwritten each time Plesk does a reread of PHP handlers.


My bet is that there is a hardcoded table in Plesk that links major versions to specific versions.
Can this table be made more accurate?
