  1. manage PHP-FPM max_children

    It is currently quite painful to set and KEEP php-fpm maxchildren to a desired value.
    At the moment the default value of 5 is not available in the management interface and it seems to be reset back to 5 when a change is made in the subscription. Then we get errors about max
    children reached and we have to manually update it once more.
    See here: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/php-fpm-max-children.336889/

    I suggest adding a default value that is used when creating a new subscription and the ability to modify it in the subscription php settings.

  2. MariaDB (MySQL) version selector

    I tried to install MariaDB 10.1 instead of 5.5 that Plesk installs by default and I messed it all up, had to re-install Plesk. There should be a version selector during the installation.

    There should be a full MariaDB integration because it has a lot of adventages in performance comparing to Oracle's MySQL and has a greater team. MariaDB 5.5 is so yesterday.

  4. No http data mix on https default page from parallels

    There is this security warning in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety when I access the default page of a server with fresh Plesk installation: https://my.ip.add.ress - reason is mixed content coming from parallels.

  5. Make is easier to test/preview a website when you have multiple sites on an IP.

    The "preview" function doesn't work with Wordpress. Setting up a subdomain is complicated. Modifying localhost file is a ridiculous solution.

  6. Domain blacklist

    We would like customers to manage their domains themselves but limit them to a list of domains defined by the reseller/admin.

    It would be great if a customer could e.g. define himself which domain (alias) should belong to which hosting package.

    The problem at the moment is: If we give customer A the privileges to manage his domains, he could also add a foreign domain (NOT on the server) and configure mail accounts, e.g. *@ebay.com. The result would be that any mail another customer B who also uses our server sends to this domain could be "captured" by customer A.…

  7. Protect plesk gui 11.5.30 with "basic auth" login (optional)

    Hi,

    I'm the only one with access to plesk gui and want a additional "basic auth" protection for 11.5.30. I have MANY access from foreign IPs to my plesk login! Every day IPs testing direct script access (old security holes?). A "basic auth" login will protect the gui for new security leaks.


    11.0.9 use as internal web server lighttpd. There you can make this simple steps to protect gui:

    go to: /etc/sw-cp-server/applications.d/plesk.socket.sh
    add:

    # Limit access to Admin
    auth.backend = "htpasswd"
    auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/opt/psa/admin/htdocs/.htpasswd"
    auth.require = ( "/" =>
    (
    "method" => "basic",
    "realm" => "Your Title",
    "require" => "valid-user"…

  8. "Run Cronjob now"

    Hello, I miss it again and again that I can test my scheduled tasks only if I change the times at once, the task will be executed and then I set the time back to the desired version. Better when I could the scheduled task to test without changing the desired times, a mouse click / run would be. I also an option, with which I can freeze the mail traffic for this task is missing, add it without a code or command to remove (> / dev / null 2> & 1). Sincerely, Danny

    Both Plesk 12 for Windows and Linux are able to send out notifications with empty white list for local mail server:
    - Plesk for Linux uses sendmail CLI (so noe need in SMTP auth)
    - Plesk for Windows uses own, internal SMTP mail account for local mail server or a custom SMTP mail account in case of external mail server

  10. Generate random password for password fields.

    An option for generation of random password in the password fields would be very helpful.

    Please include options for: small/mixed case, letters, numbers, special chars.

  11. Manage Wordpress updates, themes and pluging via CLI

    It is only possible to install a new WordPress instance with such options:
    https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/cli-linux/using-command-line-utilities/wptoolkit-wordpress-toolkit.78685/

    For example:
    plesk ext wp-toolkit --install -domain-name <domain> -auto-updates true -plugins-auto-updates true -themes-auto-updates true

    The other way is to manage it via Plesk GUI for existing domains:
    https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002224733

    Please add a feature to manage all updates for existing wordpress domains via SSH/WP-CLI

  14. Access action- log by API

    It would be helpful to access the action- log by API (maybe with filters like IP, user, time-period, keyword in the entry as like described here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001117533-How-to-get-the-list-of-actions-that-have-been-done-in-Plesk-)

    Use Case
    Clients regularly report problems, where we suspect a manipulation done by themselves. So before asking them, "what did you do / change", we check the logs for their activity. This often is really helpful to offer a well-prepared reply and not to bother the client with such questions. Sometimes, they even didn't remember what the did.

    Unfortunately, we have to take several steps to use the Logs
    - navigate to…

  15. Ability to add sets to existing WordPress instance via Toolkit

    It would be great to have the ability to add sets to existing WordPress instance via Toolkit. On most occasions when we place an existing WordPress site under management have have a pre defined set of plugins we install. These need to be installed one at a time or via script. A number of developers have also expressed ability to install their own sets to an existing WordPress instance.

  17. Add customization option for "Configure Email Client" window

    Suggest adding the ability to customize Domains > example.com > Email Addresses > Mail information" pop-up help icon. The following sections should be editable:
    Configure Email Client
    Manual Setup

    Currently it is hard-coded and it's not possible to officially customize the text, or, say, the link that leads to Plesk documentation that describes basic setup steps on default ports.

    Reasoning:

    1. The outgoing server port 25 is blocked by most ISPs and will not work, we encourage SSL/TLS encryption on port 465

    2. Incoming Server Ports, we encourage SSL/TLS encryption on IMAP port 993 or POP port 995

    3. We encourage our clients…

  20. Add passive FTP to default Plesk Config and Firewall rule

    Right now it's required to add the passive FTP range in the FTP config and then add another firewall rule to let the clients access it.

    Please make this default to the FTP config or at least configurable in the server security settings or even in the global FTP settings page.

    Thanks!


    Firwall rules
    Name: z.B Passive FTP-Transfer
    Direction: Incoming
    Action: Allow
    Ports: e.g. 49150 - 65000 TCP (don't use ports below 10000 for security reasons)
    File: /etc/proftpd.conf
    Between <global> and </global> add the following lines:
    PassivePorts 49150 65000
    Restart service: service xinetd restart
