  1. Restart services on failure using systemd

    We've noticed that Plesk services like plesk-php72-fpm are sometimes killed by the out of memory killer or otherwise crash and require manual intervention by us. The services could be made more resilient by adding the following file to supplement Plesk's service file and reloading systemd.

    cat /root/reload-on-fail.conf

    [Service]
    Restart=on-failure
    RestartSec=5s

    cp /root/reload-on-fail.conf /usr/lib/systemd/system/plesk-php*-fpm.service.d/reload-on-fail.conf && systemctl daemon-reload

    I've also made an ansible playbook for this:
    https://gist.github.com/nbeernink/679b8c0bc635158b0ea4dfb96e10c7c5

    Additionally, you can also add this to services like nginx, mysql/mariadb, dovecot and postfix and they will restart on failure as well.

    However instead of us all running these playbooks on old and new servers,…

  2. Add ECC CSR support

    Now Plesk uses RSA encryption method, but we would like to use ECC CSR support as it's considered more modern.

    We’ve released Let’s Encrypt Extension 2.7.2: https://ext.plesk.com/packages/f6847e61-33a7-4104-8dc9-d26a0183a8dd-letsencrypt

    2.7.2 (17 January 2019)
    • [*] In Plesk for Linux 17.8 and later, the extension now supports issuing ECDSA certificates. To have the extension issue certificates signed with ECDSA, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:
    [ext-letsencrypt]
    key-algorithm = ECDSA
    ecdsa-curve-name = prime256v1 ; can be omitted

  3. Make Plesk File Sharing removeable

    It's a prominent feature that is "offered" everywhere in the GUI but one can't get rid of it when it's not used and it's not uninstallable also. Please make it removable.

  4. More Improvements for WordPress Toolkit: Bulk remove/clone UI (and command-line support)

    • Option for "bulk remove" instances (included all wp-content folder)
    • Option for bulk "clone" a WP instance to multiple subdomains/domains or subdirs

    Of course, also include support for clone/remove instances using command-line support (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/wordpress-toolkit-in-plesk.73563/)

  5. Limitation for FTP username

    Presently there is 16-char limitation for FTP username. This hinders migration from obscure hosting systems that use longer usernames.
    Please, consider implementing the feature that would remove this 16-char limitation if Providers opts to do so.

  6. Add the option "Security of wp-content/uploads folder only"

    Securing the whole wp-content will break many commercial templates, while blocking script execution under the wp-content/uploads and wp-content/upgrade folder have no known side-effects.

  7. Migrations- & Transfer-Manager german localization

    There is no localization available for Plesk migrator tool which is rather new extension provided by Plesk. As for now, it is available in English only.
    I wish it in German.

  8. Health Monitoring in Power View

    It's a pity that Health Monitoring is not showing in Power View mode, only in Service Provider view. Adding a custom button won't help either in Power View.

    You can import and edit databases via PhpMyAdmin in Plesk. If you need to open PhpMyAdmin just open “Databases” in domain controls of selected domain, create database and click at “Webadmin” link in the right side of the corresponding row in the list.

    Since version 12.1 in addition to PhpMyAdmin Plesk contains own tools for import and export databases, which are available via Plesk UI. Please visit the following forum threads to learn how to access Plesk 12.1 preview:

    Windows:

    We would appreciate hearing your feedback on implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

  10. Site Builder 4.5.9 for Linux and ProFTPd 1.3.5 (#PPB-4351)

    Dear Parallels Web Presence Builder/Site Builder 4.5 Support,

    With reference to the bug #PPB-4351 (related RT ticket: 1962652, 1984040)
    Forum post: http://forum.sp.parallels.com/threads/enquiry-on-site-builder-4-5-and-proftpd-1-3-5-ppb-4351.330765/
    Article: http://kb.sp.parallels.com/en/123560

    However, the upgrade from Site Builder 4.5 to WPB 12 is not smooth.
    In our testing,
    a few Site Builder 4.5 website (around 20% websites) cannot be imported successfully into WPB 12, it raises error message during Site Builder import,
    and even the website can be imported, all previous Site Builder 4.5 module data will be lost.

    As per paid RT ticket #1984040 suggestion, I placed a user voice custom patch request.

    Please kindly provide a…

    There was a bug in Plesk that caused notifications about the same updates to be sent every day until these updates were installed. This bug was fixed in the latest Plesk MU (#32). We suggest to install this MU and see if notifications are still bothering you and your users. If they are, you can turn them off completely:

    Go to Tools & Settings > Notifications and clear the checkboxes next to these items:

    APS application updates (administrator’s digest)
    APS application updates (reseller’s digest)
    APS application updates (customer’s digest)

  13. Fix the "Permission denied" problem in API RPC for customers

    When using API RPC in an extension it returns "Permission denied" response for customers on any function in version 12.0.18 update #5. There is similar problem in version 11.5.30 update #47 except that the error is thrown in try..catch statement calling "pm_ApiRpc::getService()" method.

  14. Editing Multiple Files on Code Editor.

    At we need to do some small changes when we are on the go & we need to edit multiple files then it actually becomes a headache as we need to edit a file remember what has been edited [and all the previous function names and classes] close and open another file change accordingly.

    It is difficult on large projects especially when debugging as we need open same file multiple times for reference.

    So a option to "Edit in a New Tab" is a good way and also would be nice if it happens in code editor instead of text…

  15. eventually fix the mailman bug which is there since plesk 8

    After every update to plesk I have to manually fix the mailman entry in /etc/postfix/master.cf
    It should read: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=Ru

    plesk updates change the flags=R which means that mailing lists are broken if they contain upper case characters.

    As far as I know problems in mixed cases in Plesk mail services have been fixed. Have you checked this issue in Plesk 12.5 Preview (http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/parallels-plesk-12.1-for-linux-change-log.html) ? If it is reproduced – please write step-by-step instruction how we can check it. Thanks.

    UPD: We are closing the request as completed, since no information to the contrary were provided for over a month.

  16. Under domain i have multiple (28) wordpress sites. All of them listed as "Wordpress". Why cant i see which site is which?

    Allow us to see which Wordpress site is which without having to click on each one. I have 28 sites and it makes it extremely difficult to locate a particular site.

  17. Increase maximum supported IP addresses

    It looks like the change from Plesk 9.5.4 to 11.5.30 reduced the maximum allowed IP addresses down to 200 or so. When you try to re-read the IP addresses you get an error/crash. We used to be able to add as many IP's as we wanted, but I'm told its now limited to 200 or 256 (but I get a failure when I've added just 235 addresses). With the deployment of IPv6 we will need much more.

  19. Wordpress Settings with Prefix(config) for more Secruity

    Wordpress Settings with Prefix for more Secruity.
    A lot of People Change the Prefix in Wordpress for more Security.
