Thanks! Very good points
An error occurred while saving the comment @Jake,
Well, your FTP users indeed can upload trojans or malicious code embedded in PDF files and images. But it cannot harm your server security, it will harm their site visitors, who will download those files. So I wonder how is your server impacted with these uploads?
From server security standpoint, server admin shall probably be much more concerned for malicious HTTP uploads (not FTP), which are performed normally via a vulnerability in a hosted site and potentially can take over that site in a hidden manner or can take over a server (only in a combination with some other vulnerability, of course). mod_security shall be good solution against that, when accompanied by quality ruleset (such as the one from AtomicCorp). I don't fully understand how ClamAV is efficient here, given that it is very far from 100% efficiency and regular complete scans would likely cause huge load on a server.
We observed a number of complains on high load from antiviruses scanning servers, but we have no positive data on their efficience. What is your experience about ClamAV file scan?

How scan of ftp uploads would improve your server security?

Thank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases, if it will be popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.- SU
An error occurred while saving the comment Thank you @Gab T for explaining the usage. It really helps to understand the reason behind a request to evaluate its priority
We will consider this, but cannot promise quick delivery. PHP version is tightly connected to website concept.
However, did you consider placing scripts in different site and configuring virtual directories in .htaccess for SEO needs? Can that help? -

The previous status was set by mistake.
Due to the changes in MongoDB’s licensing we are no longer able to consider this as a potential feature to be added to our product.
Please continue to vote if you would like to use CouchDB in Plesk.

This is an interesting to us, though votes are real low yet -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi, the original poster most likely meant the solution described in here

An error occurred while saving the comment It might be impossible or dangerous technically. Home folder of each account has privileges configured in a way to prevent others from accessing them. We understand extra convenience of a global account, but wouldn't like to undermine security.
But let us know if we are missing something...

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Timothy,
Got your point about extensions. Which exactly extensions you would like to shortcut?
Extensions are actually capable to make shortcuts for themselves in practically every spot of user interface. Maybe some extensions need to add entrypoints for them
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi David, when you need a shortcut for email or phpmyadmin - would it be a shortcut to "managing email for subscription abc.com" or "managing email for <select> subscription"? Same question about phpmyadmin
Any other examples maybe? Examples are important, because if we will do shortcuts, they will be available for suggested operations only and surly not for every screen.

An error occurred while saving the comment Mike, that is your decision whether to enable SELinux or not. If you enable it, then Plesk works with SELinux

An error occurred while saving the comment No, Josh, unfortunately you cannot have better timeline. We are not posting ETA here.
I am not sure where you grabbed information about "planned for years", but it is false statement. The function was included into our plans mid-last year, according to the log. When you see "In progress" status, that would mean relatively soon delivery.The best you can do is to vote for this feature, since currently it is still #40+ if sorted by votes.
An error occurred while saving the comment Josh, not sure where you grab the information about "planned since 2013". This is obviously not true, since mid-2013 is the first mention of this idea only.
In general we avoid posting ETA here.
An error occurred while saving the comment ActiveSync included in Horde 5 should be preconfigured and working in Plesk (Horde Config, Apache Settings, autodiscover-Subdomain...)
An error occurred while saving the comment The courier binary shipped with Plesk does not support the imap idle function aka push e-mail. Even if you configure ENHANCEDIDLE=1 in the courier config file, it won't work as it needs to be linked to libfam. libfam is either provided by legacy FAM or by gamin. Both are available in the package repositories of the distributions.
Push e-mail is a very nice feature. Especially for power users who have their e-mail client open all day. With push e-mail you get an instant notifications on incoming mail. It is not necessary anymore to poll the imap server every 10 seconds for new emails. All major mail hosters support this feature.
Using gamin, there is no actual reason why it should not be supported. am using it (self-compile) since 2009 and Plesk 9. Without any problems at all.

Thank you for your input. We will take a look at .csv file import in upcoming releases
An error occurred while saving the comment Until .csv import is available, we would suggest to run bulk operations in CLI or XML API.

An error occurred while saving the comment The path suggested by Marten is good workaround except it suggests a dangerous malpractice which will surely make your changes overwritten by Plesk.
As Plesk documentation indicates you should never change templates in default/ folder (will surely be overwritten). Instead, copy those files into custom/ folder and modify them there without any risk of your changes lost
http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk//Doc/en-US/online/plesk-linux-advanced-administration-guide/index.htm?fileName=66758.htmSo the corrected path should be
1. Identify this folder
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default
(go /opt/psa/... for Debian/Ubuntu) and copy it into
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom
Make sure you preserve ownership and privileges
2. Locate the file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/service/seoSafeRedirects.php
and comment out all relevant commands
2a. If you break something, just recover from /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domain/service/seoSafeRedirects.php
2b. Then edit /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/service/seoSafeRedirects.php
...
Now continue with original Marten's instructions and your changes are safe for all future Plesk upgrades -

An error occurred while saving the comment free MailEnable in Plesk has supported IMAP for many years. Perhaps from the very beginning.
If you transfer content to new Plesk server with MailEnable, mailboxes should be moved as well.

Could you explain why total subscription size is not enough? Why you would need a separate limit for mail content and web content?
UPD: reopened after new comments received
An error occurred while saving the comment But what makes you want "mail space" counted separately from "web space"?
For your example - you can just give customer 10 Gb for their web and mail files and no need to limit or count their mailboxes. -

Would you mind to try Nginx caching in Plesk Onyx 17.8 Preview?
This would be very helpful to get your experienced feedback here http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4165754/Plesk-17-8-Preview
An error occurred while saving the comment 2 Rich Milns
Nginx has proxy capabilities, thought it benefits in the other way than Varnish does. Nginx doesn't cache - so DB and PHP are still loaded in terms of CPU. But Nginx helps Apache to end process faster (fast local connection) and thus save on RAM when multiple visitors (especially when visitors on mobile traffic). And Nginx is transparent, so it doesn't require site re-configured.
Not that Nginx fully replaces Varnish, but it handles high load problem from a different perspective

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. Would you mean customer certificate overriding server certificate? Or override only for default (self-signed) server certificate?

An error occurred while saving the comment We would like to learn from you how you will use it. i.e. different domains on different IPs for SSL (but did you know about SNI?), or for subdomains? for aliases? Why an alias would need another IP?

Hi, we are updating status when there is some new information or status update from our end. Status updates are not frequent, but always meaningful.
Unfortunately we cannot report to you any major change as of now:
- this request is in remaining top5 (after higher priorities were delivered) and we fully recognize its priority for our customers
- for quite a while we were seeing ClamAV as an alternative to already provided Dr.Web and Kaspersky antiviruses and honestly we considered that 2 available options should be already enough, while there were many other requests to work on. Especially given relatively easy manual integration of ClamAV by a server admin (guidelines are available online)
- thanks to later posts of ClamAV supporters we re-evaluated ClamAV as a file scanner for web files, rather than for email. And in this context it definitely deserves more attention
As of now we have a bunch of tasks assigned for the next release, but once we deliver the next version, we will seriously consider this item. Should there be any update on actual status, we will post it here
We are thankful for everyones' votes and involvement
