Plesk Update 10.3.1 to 10.4.4 - PHP + phpBB 3.0.8 Issues

[Michael Kittlitz]

Plesk Update 10.3.1 to 10.4.4: PHP+phpBB 3+Default Site+Piwik+ZEND (Update: 5 fixed)

Hi there,

on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS the update worked almost fine.

1)
Why did you not copy the VHOST.CONF - Files from the subdirectories to the new place?

It took me an hour to find that!

Hint for other people with the same problem copy

/var/www/vhosts/%domain.tld%/subomains/%subdomain%/conf

to the new place

/var/www/vhosts/%subdomain.domain.tld%/conf

and run the Manager:
/usr/local/psa/admin/psa/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

Restart Apache2 et voilá the settings are back.


2)
Problem with phpBB 3.0.8 on three diffent hostings, all host the Bulletin Board-Software on a different subdomain:

"Could not get style data" is the error message of the software.

solution -> chmod 777 cache/ -R


3)
The open-Source Website analytics-Software PIWIK needed a chmod 777 too...
Found that too.


4)
ZEND-Framwork - Cache does not work
another chmod 777 necessary.


5)
The Default-Website does not launch PHP (index.php) anymore:
Internal Server Error 500.

Workaround (hopefully the right way

Changing the Config of APACHE2 with a new file, called

/etc/apache2/conf.d/zzz_default.conf

Content:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_admin_flag engine on
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_admin_flag engine on
</IfModule>

<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs">
AllowOverride All
Options MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks
Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
php_admin_value include_path ".:/usr/share/php/:/var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs"
php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs:/tmp:"
php_admin_flag register_long_arrays On
php_admin_value memory_limit 80M
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 300
php_admin_value allow_url_fopen 1
php_admin_value safe_mode Off
php_admin_flag engine on
</Directory>

Restart APACHE 2.

So I don't know I the Parallels-Guys like my fix, but it works.

I hoped waiting for a bigger minor release-number would decrease the amount of surprises Parallels has waiting for me...

Worktime to fix bugs: >6 hours.
Several unhappy cusotmers and calls => bad reputation. One Customer lost.
Thank you Parallels for your work.

Best Regards
