  • 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.

Issue User PHP customisations being overwritten by service plan changes....

Rob Taylor

Basic Pleskian
Hi All

I am running the latest version of Plesk Onyx with all updates on 2 servers, one that is currently live and one that is about to go into production:

Version: Plesk Onyx v17.5.3_build1705170317.16 os_CentOS 7
OS: CentOS Linux 7.4.1708 (Core)

I very recently made a change to one of the services plans and then got reports from customers that their PHP customisations had been removed.

I have replicated this on our new server and unless I am misunderstanding how the service plan / subscription system works there does indeed seem to be a significant bug - here is how to replicate:

- Go to 'Service Plans'
- Click 'Add a Plan'
- Name 'Test'
- Accept all other defaults
- Click 'OK'
- Go to 'Domains'
- Click 'Add Domain'
- Enter the domain name as 'example.com' or some other test domain
- Enter a username of 'test' and 'generate' a random password
- Leave all other settings as default
- Go to 'Subscriptions'
- Locate the test domain and tick the box
- Click 'Change Plan'
- Select the 'Test' service plan and apply
- Go to 'Domains', locate the domain name and click in it to view settings
- Click on 'PHP Settings'
- Scroll to the bottom and enter the following under 'Additional configuration directives':
default_charset = ""
- Set 'short_open_tag' to 'on'
- Click 'OK'
- Go to 'Service Plans'
- Click on the 'Test' plan
- Set 'Notify when disk space usage reaches' to a different figure (not an unreasonable change)
- Click 'Update and Sync'
- Go to 'Domains'
- Locate the test domain name and click on it
- Click on 'PHP Settings'
- Scroll to the bottom and all PHP customisations have been overwritten :-(

I have replicated this on two servers and two different versions of PHP.

Can someone else confirm this bug or advise what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Rob
