  • 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 Watchdog extension: "Plesk PHP Engine" stopped – what is it and how to start (if necessary)?

King555

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.68 Update #1 Web Admin Edition
I have the latest version of the Watchdog extension installed. The "Plesk PHP Engine" is stopped according to Watchdog. But there is no service with this name so I can start it. But everything seems to work.

So what is "Plesk PHP Engine", is it required?
 
Hi,

The alarm that the service does not work is false-positive; it seems it is happened because of some changes on Ubuntu24 related to permissions (tildeslash / Monit / issues / #1109 - unable to monitor php-fpm unixsockets on ubuntu 24.04 — Bitbucket). It is a known bug under id EXTPLESK-8838.

So what is "Plesk PHP Engine", is it required?
Yes, it is required, in a few words, it is a php-fpm for Plesk itself.
As I said, the alarm is false positive, that is why everything works despite the warning.
