• 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.

Upgrade Plesk Admin PHP Version

Brian H

New Pleskian
Hello there.

I have plesk 9.3 running, which came with PHP 5.2.6 for plesk sites and plesk admin. I have successfully upgrade the PHP running plesk sites to PHP 5.2.13 by upgrading C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5.

I was able to dump the PHP version on one of my plesk sites and it properly reads 5.2.13. The problem is that when I dump the version of the PHP admin, it still reads 5.2.6. Everything that I have tried ( mostly trying to update PHP in C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin ) cause the admin to fail.

Is there an upgrade method for bringing the Plesk Admin up to a newer version of PHP? Everything that I can find is focused on upgrading PHP for plesk sites, not the plesk admin.

I would appreciate any help!

We strongly do not recommend to do anything with admin's PHP! Plesk code is very strongly depends on admin's PHP version and if you try to update it - 90% that Plesk will be completely broken.
