  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question prefered way to move /var/lib/php/sessions to tmpfs

Brujo

Silver Pleskian
Plesk Guru
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS‬
Plesk Onyx Version 17.5.3 Update #43

since the Server has inough ram, what would be the prefered way to move /var/lib/php/sessions to tmpfs under Ubuntu?
 
Well, you'll improve performance just due to RAM being faster then disk.

You'll want to create the RAM disk first;

# mkdir /tmp/ramd
# chmod 777 /tmp/ramd
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=512M tmpfs /tmp/ramd/

(be sure to add it to fstab as well)

Then modify your PHP.ini;

session.save_path="/tmp/ramd"

Getting from Provider new Hardware Servers to be tested bevor replace existing root Servers and nowadays they come with 64Gig Ram & SSD drive, therefor I like to use on on side the RAM as best for performance and reduce writing to SSD.

under ubuntu /tmp it is already foreseen to be moved to tmpfs "systemctl enable tmp.mount"

so your idea is to change the session.save_php path settings per php Version/handler - any expirince what happens when Plesk update/upgrade the Versions?
