Supply versions of Apache newer than provided by OS vendors
Currently, Plesk supports Apache from the Linux vendor and does not provide its own Apache build. For example, CentOS 6 has Apache 2.2 by default.
Based on the article comment it would be good to have more recent Apache version in use: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213901685?page=1#comment_360001830960
Apache 2.4.6 was released in 2013 (!) in the meantime the latest version is Apache 2.4.46 (august 2020).
I understand Plesk cannot update Apache every time to a newer version, however still running 2.4.6 is a bit absurd.Furthermore there are quite a few CVE fixes in the newer versions along with several new performance tweaks /…

I'd like to make PHP, NGINX, Apache - compiled with maximum support for all extensions
Очень хочется чтоб PHP, NGINX, Apache - были скомпилированы с максимальной поддержкой всех расширений6 votesThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it’s not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items below:
- PHP – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
You can use PHP from original OS vendor repo. Please create a new request and let us know why do you not use OS vendor repo and what exactly extension do you need.- NGINX – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
Each new module affects nginx. Could you explain what exactly nginx module do you want? Please create a new request and let us know what module do you need.- Apache – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
Plesk doesn’t ship Apache, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo.— AY

To add noindex,nofollow to default page
I think it would be logical to add
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
to index.html (plesk default page) that is returned by plesk when no pages can be found. It would prevent robots to crawl and index this page.

Allow separate webroot for wildcard subdomain and www
I'm looking for a way to use a different webroot for my www.domain.com and a different one for all the other subdomains.
I created domain.com, then created a wildcard subdomain for that domain, pointing to a different webroot.
The problem is that the wildcard subdomain hijacks the www subdomain as well.
domain.com is working correctly, but www.domain.com uses the wildcard subdomain's config.
I assume the problem is the order in which Apache reads the config files.3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

To remove the HTML body of nginx 301 302 redirects
When Nginx returns a 301 or a 302 redirect, it also returns a small useless HTML body.
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>You can see this body when you perform a "curl talk.plesk.com" for instance. However today, many major domains don't return a HTML body, it is the case of facebook.com, twitter.com, youtube.com and www.plesk.com .
Funny enough, when i do a "curl www.plesk.com" it returns no html body. It means that someone at plesk remove this html body. But in plesk onyx it will always return the default html body that I…3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular.

keep up with .Net core and install Node.Js on Windows
I have Godday and they are saying They are limited by Plesk on what frameworks are available. The version that Godaddy is offering is stuck on out-of-date .net core frameworks that are no longer supported by Microsoft. the most recent I can run is .net core 2.0 for crying out loud 5 is already out and 6 is only a few months away.
Also ??? why ??? no Node.JS options available on windows? I'm a .net developer and most on the site are portfolio sites or small sites that I really could use the most recent .Net framework and Node.JS.…2 votesThank you for your input!

Currently, this can be enabled in IIS > example.com > Error pages > Edit feature settings
