• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is 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 12.5 PHP-FPM via Nginx switch PHP version fails 1st attempt

TimReeves

Regular Pleskian
Specifically (tried on 3 Ubuntu servers, 12.04 and 14.04) I was trying to move up from PHP 5.6.16 FPM via Nginx to PHP 7.0.0 FPM via Nginx. A message like this appears:

Error: phpinimng failed: invoke-rc.d: initscript plesk-php56-fpm, action "status" failed. invoke-rc.d: initscript plesk-php56-fpm, action "status" failed. Service plesk-php56-fpm is down after attempt to start it

The message is plain wrong. What has happened is:
  • The fpm pool config has been removed from /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php-fpm.d
  • BUT PHP 5.6 FPM is still running including for the site in question (i.e. it was never stopped)
  • "service plesk-php56-fpm restart" works - the website in question then has no PHP service
  • Manually create an appropriate pool config in /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php-fpm.d
  • service plesk-php70-fpm restart
Now the domain in question is serviced by PHP 7.

Subsequent reassignments in Plesk to the new PHP version work without problem, so the problem only exists when the target FPM pool is empty.
