What’s New?

  • This release, we invested a lot of resources into improving Docker support in Plesk. We overhauled the Docker extension graphical interface to make it modern and more convenient, added Docker Compose support, fixed many pesky bugs, and more! Here are some of the highlights:

    • As per UserVoice request, it is now possible to deploy Docker Compose YAML files (but not Dockerfiles or any other files required by an application), and also to modify and update the stacks from the new “Stacks” tab. Use copy and paste, or upload them from local storage. Typical operations on stacks are supported, such as: up (including pull and force-recreate), stop, and down.
    • The main Docker page was split into the “Containers” and “Images” tabs.
    • The “Configurations” page is now the “Environments” tab.
    • The ability to pull images was added to the extension’s interface.
    • As per UserVoice request, Docker containers’ configuration (but not data in Docker volumes) is now included in Plesk backups.

    To enable these features, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-docker]
    newUI = on
    
  • Added a helper to assist users with connecting their mail clients to the “Mail Accounts” page. The Configure Mail Clients button helps users turn on autodiscover, and also provides concise instructions on how to connect their Mozilla Thunderbird, Gmail on Android, iOS Mail, or Outlook 2016 or earlier client to their Plesk mailboxes.
  • As per UserVoice request, added the ability to quickly empty mailboxes of all mail to the “Mail Accounts” page. The Empty Mailbox button enables users to remove all mail, both incoming and outgoing, from one or more mailboxes with a click.

    To disable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [mail]
    canClearMailbox = false
    
  • A new version of the Multi-Factor Authentication extension will be released together with Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65. Here are some of the highlights:

    • The “Accounts” tab was added. It lists all Plesk user accounts and their MFA statuses.
    • The ability to deactivate MFA for dependent users was added.
    • The MFA secret key is now regenerated when the MFA feature is reactivated for a user.
  • We are glad to introduce the beta version of the WHMCS Installer extension. The extension helps you install and configure WHMCS by guiding you through the essential steps: installing PHP and ionCube Loader, configuring and installing WHMCS, creating the database, and securing the system.

    We would love to hear your feedback about this extension at beta-extensions@plesk.com.

  • (Plesk for Windows) MariaDB 11.4 is now supported. It is the latest “long-term support” version from the vendor. Support for MariaDB 11.4 in Plesk for Linux was added in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64.

Feature Improvements

  • (Plesk for Linux) The Performance Booster feature will be rolled out to all supported Plesk Obsidian installations. The feature enables Plesk administrators to tweak PHP, web server, and database server settings to significantly improve the hosted websites’ performance.

    To disable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-performance-booster]
    enabled=false

Fixed Product Issues

  • The “last modified” timestamps on the users’ files restored from backup (including mail) are no longer reset to the current date upon restoration. This also prevents files restored from backup from being unnecessarily included in incremental backups. (PPPM-6333, PPPM-10282)

  • Disabled and suspended websites are no longer counted when calculating IP addresses’ usage statistics. (PPPM-14608)

  • Fixed the issue where emails containing certain characters could not be sent if the “Limitations on outgoing email messages” feature was enabled in Plesk. (PPPM-14624)
  • Fixed the issue where, under specific circumstances, log rotation could fail due to the incorrect umask settings. (PPPM-14621)
  • Fixed the issue where, after a failed domain name change attempt, certain services for the website were no longer operational. (PPPM-14571)
  • Fixed the issue where, after changing the default mailbox size for a subscription, the mailboxes owned by the subscription whose size was customized would have their size changed to the new default value if it was greater than the specified custom mailbox size. (PPPM-14557)
  • Fixed the issue where installing an additional license key not associated with any Plesk license key via Tools & Settings > License information > Install Key would fail with the “Parent key not provided (Error code: 2)” error. (PPPM-14527)

  • Fixed the issue where running the CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 conversion tool (centos2alma) on a server with curl 8 installed would result in a failure during the preupgrade stage, and also in yum and dnf being unable to run. (PAUX-6474)
  • Fixed the issue where running the CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 conversion tool (centos2alma) or the CloudLinux 7 to CloudLinux 8 conversion tool (cloudlinux7to8) would result in a failure to adopt repositories under specific circumstances. (PAUX-6470)
  • Fixed the issue where it was not possible to install IonCube PHP Loader via the Plesk graphical interface. (PPPM-14640)
  • Fixed the issue where, on Debian 11 servers with Plesk installed, signing up to a Mailman 3 mail list using a Google Mail email account (*@gmail.com) would not result in the signup email being delivered to the *@gmail.com mailbox. (PPPM-14619)

Windows

  • Fixed the issue where, under specific circumstances, operations on Microsoft SQL databases could hang indefinitely while consuming large amounts of RAM. (PPPM-14607)

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64

What’s New?

  • We are excited to announce the launch of our updated “What’s New” page for Plesk! The page highlights the key features and major benefits of Plesk Obsidian helping you to gain a deeper understanding of our product. Explore it now at What’s New in Plesk Obsidian.
  • As per UserVoice request, it is now possible to configure a smarthost or relayhost in Plesk on the server level. For details, refer to the following topic.
  • (Plesk for Linux) MariaDB 11.4 is now supported. It is the latest “long-term support” version from the vendor.
  • (Plesk for Linux) The Website Log Check feature will be gradually rolled out to all Plesk Obsidian installations version 18.0.64 and later. The feature helps to troubleshoot a website’s availability issues by scanning the web server logs for common issues and suggesting ways to resolve them. Learn more about Website Log Check.
  • The new customizable Home dashboard in Service Provider View is now enabled by default on all Plesk Obsidian servers. It helps you to keep track of your server and your business by adding, removing, and rearranging informational blocks showing all sorts of data. To disable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [navigation]
    newHomeView.enabled = false
    
  • As per UserVoice request, to the Docker extension, added support for AlmaLinux 9 and support for websocket traffic on Docker Proxy Rules.
  • Improved the dist-upgrade procedure and migration:

    • From Plesk on Ubuntu 20 by introducing PHP 7.3 provided by Plesk.
    • From Plesk on Ubuntu 22 by introducing PHP 7.0 provided by Plesk.
    • From Plesk on Debian 11 by introducing PHP 7.2 provided by Plesk.

    Websites after migration or dist-upgrade now seamlessly adopt a new PHP version without additional manual patches.

    Note: PHP versions 7.0 - 7.3 are outdated and no longer supported by the vendor (PHP Group), so they will receive no security updates. We recommend that you use these old PHP versions only for the dist-upgrade or migration purposes, and then switch to a newer supported PHP version.

  • With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers. It is fully integrated with Plesk for both Linux and Windows, and also included in Power Pack and Hosting Pack.
  • The CloudLinux team extended the Imunify360 extension with the improved ImunifyAV/AV+ and renamed the Imunify360 extension to Imunify. Existing users of the free and paid ImunifyAV extension (the revisium-antivirus ID) can upgrade to the new ImunifyAV/AV+ at no additional cost. Learn more about benefits of the revamped Imunify and how to upgrade to it.

Feature Improvements

    To disable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser]
    showEmailBadge = false

  • Added the following options to the ModSecurity CLI: -waf-rule-filter-ids, -waf-filter-by-tags, -waf-filter-by-regexp, and -waf-additional-settings. For details, see the CLI guides for Linux and Windows.
  • Unified and updated the messages shown when Plesk license limits are reached. The messages about upgrading a Plesk license to a higher version are now more helpful, clear, and informative.
  • The Node.js Toolkit now supports JavaScript modules (MJS files).
  • It is now possible to use the “Forgot password” feature via the CLI: the plesk bin admin --send-reset-link command with the -user or -email options generates a password reset link for the specified user and sends it via email.

Future Plans

  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65, the ImunifyAV extension will be removed from the Recommended and Full presets. Instead, the Imunify extension (former Imunify360) will be installed by default on all new Plesk installations. If, for some reason, you want to disable the extension, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [extensions]
    blacklist = imunify360

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.63

What’s New?

  • (Plesk for Linux) We are glad to present the “InnoDB repair” tool you can use to check for and attempt to automatically fix InnoDB corruption in MariaDB databases. InnoDB corruption is a serious issue, preventing the database server from working properly. Fixing it by hand requires time and expertise.

    You can access the tool by browsing https://:8443/repair/ and authenticating with the Plesk administrator credentials.

  • Re-worked the “Mail Queue” menu to make it easier to track the status of messages and identify and resolve issues.

    To enable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser]
    mailQueue.serverWide = true
    
  • If you plan to use a domain for mail hosting only, you can now select the new “Mail Hosting” option in the “Add Domain” wizard.
  • We are glad to present a tool to convert your CloudLinux 7 servers to CloudLinux 8! The ready to use CLI tool is available in our GitHub repository.
  • Plesk Obsidian on Ubuntu 20.04, AlmaLinux 8, and AlmaLinux 9 now comes with PHP 7.0 support. PHP 7.0 can be installed via Plesk Installer.

    This should make updating servers running an earlier OS version smoother. However, keep in mind that PHP 7.0 is outdated, and no longer receives security updates. We recommend updating web applications that require PHP 7.0 to use up-to-date PHP versions.

  • You can now resell Sitejet Commerce. To do so, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-plesk-sitejet]
    commerceEnabled=true
    commerceBuyUrl=https://example.com/link-to-the-commerce-product-in-your-store
    
  • Implemented a feature in Sitejet that enables users to seamlessly substitute a missing logo with text (and switch back to a logo if necessary).
  • The Hungarian language is now available for the Sitejet Website Builder interface
  • New Sitejet website template: Eco-Con.
  • New Sitejet website template: WePaint.

Feature Improvements

  • On Plesk Obsidian servers with a custom DNS backend enabled, Plesk now sends the following messages to the custom integration script:

    • A “create” message when a domain is created.
    • A “delete” message when a domain is removed.
    • An “update” message when a domain is suspended, disabled, or enabled, or when a domain’s DNS service is enabled or disabled, or when the Plesk DNS service for a domain is switched from primary to secondary, or vice versa.

    To enable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [dns]
    newEvents = true
    
  • Added a tooltip to the domain-level “Track Email Delivery” pages explaining why it is not possible to resend or remove sent, rejected, and bounced emails.
  • Added a tooltip to the domain-level “Track Email Delivery” pages advising to select one or more deferred emails when attempting to click Resend with no deferred emails selected.
  • The support for DNS HTTPS records is now enabled by default on all Plesk Obsidian servers.
  • The pre-configured firewall rules in Plesk cloud images were updated to enable HTTP/3 to work out of the box.
  • The “CPU usage” and “Memory usage” informational blocks on the new Home dashboard no longer take a long time to load the data. In addition, the “Memory usage” informational block now shows the total amount of RAM on the server.
  • The Performance Booster extension now regularly checks the current database server settings and notifies the Plesk administrator when a noticeable improvement in performance can be achieved by applying the recommended settings.
  • Increased the size of the input window when creating a “Fetch a URL” type scheduled task to make working with a long URL more convenient.
  • It is now possible to manually configure the maximum age of mail log entries to be processed by the Log Browser extension (in seconds). To do so, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser]
    mailQueue.firstEntryOffset = <value in seconds>
    

Linux

  • The Fail2ban bad bots list has been updated.
  • Added the ability to manually add IP addresses to the Fail2ban banned IP addresses list, both temporarily and permanently.
  • Pseudo-devices with constant 100% disk usage (such as /dev/loop devices) are no longer shown in Tools & Settings > Server Information to avoid unnecessary confusion.
  • Added support for the Atomic ModSecurity rule sets in Plesk on AlmaLinux 9.

Future Plans

  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers has been deprecated and is no longer available for installation. Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, the extension will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan and the deprecation FAQ.

What’s New?

  • (Plesk for Linux) Introducing the “TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support” extension for Plesk servers running on Ubuntu 18.04 or CentOS 7 that have reached end of life. The extension configures TuxCare ELS system package manager repositories, from which your Plesk Obsidian server will be receiving security updates, system enhancement patches, and bug fixes.

Fixed Product Issues

  • (Plesk for Linux) Switched the CentOS 7 yum repositories to vault.centos.org because the OS has reached end of life. That way it will still be possible to install system packages on Plesk servers running on CentOS 7. (PPP-65508)

    Note: This change does not affect custom mirrors for CentOS 7 yum repositories.

SSL It! 1.15.3

  • Internal improvements.

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62

What’s New?

  • Introducing the Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) program designed to give you more time and a peace of mind before migrating your Plesk server from an EOL operating system to a supported one. This program will run:

    • CentOS 7 & CloudLinux 7 – until January 1, 2026 (vendor EOL date - June 2, 2024)
    • Ubuntu 18.04 & Debian 10 – until July 1, 2025 (vendor EOL dates - September 2024 for Ubuntu 18.04, June 2, 2024 for Debian 10)

    Plesk will continue releasing updates and providing technical support for these OSes beyond the vendor EOL dates, until the dates specified. Supporting EOL OSes incurs additional development and maintenance costs, and so taking advantage of this offer will cost extra. We strongly recommend migrating or dist-upgrading to supported OSes.

  • We are happy to introduce the new 1.8.0 version of the Log Browser extension. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the “Mail” tab).

    The feature is available only in Plesk for Linux (except for Ubuntu 24.04) with Postfix used as an MTA.

    We will gradually enable the feature on Plesk servers starting from June 24, 2024. You can enable the feature manually in advance by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser] 
    mailQueue.customerAccess = true
    

    By default, information about emails with the “Rejected” status is removed from the extension’s database after 48 hours to prevent rapid growth of the database. If you need to set another period for storing this information, you can always add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser] 
    mailQueue.rejectedRemovalPeriod = 172800 ; in seconds
    

    Note: The feature works on top of the journald service and follows the server-wide log configuration. If the logs are rotated or removed, information about the emails will also be unavailable. Processing the logs for the first time may consume extra server resources. Afterward, the extension will process only changed data every hour.

  • Plesk is now fully compatible with the security.txt standard, which defines the way both independent security researchers and your clients can get in touch with you about security concerns and vulnerabilities they have found in Plesk domains.

    With the new Native security.txt compliance extension, you can generate one common security.txt file for all domains hosted on your Plesk server. Once you generate the file and enable the feature, Plesk will continuously maintain it. Learn how to enable the feature and generate the file in our documentation.

    Note: In case you need more flexibility in configuring the file's content, you can use the extension created by LJPc solutions.

  • Added the new tile blocks and improvements to our New Home Dashboard:

    • Added the SSL It! block that contains the consolidated status of certificates on your Plesk server to help you avoid their sudden expiration.
    • Added the block for the “Advisor” extension that helps you monitor the state of your Plesk server.
  • Added support for HTTPS DNS records as an alternative to CNAME records. For example, you can use HTTPS records for naked domains, for which CNAME records are not supported.

    The feature can be managed in the Plesk user interface, using the plesk bin dns CLI commands, or using API requests.

    In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62, the feature is disabled by default. You can manually enable it by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [dns]
    records.https.enabled = true
    

Linux

  • Added an ability to install and remove PHP 5.6 from Plesk servers running on AlmaLinux 8 and 9 via Plesk Installer. That way you do not have to switch websites running on PHP 5.6 to a supported PHP version before the migration and thus avoid possible errors.

    Note: PHP 5.6 is EOL and does not receive important security fixes. We do recommend that you switch your websites to a supported PHP version after migration.

Feature Improvements

  • Navigation between most-used pages in Plesk has become 3 times faster.
  • On the “Serverwide” tab of Performance Booster, it is now possible to apply one or several database server improvements instead of applying them all together.
  • Introduced the following improvements to the SFTP Backup extension:

    • Added the ability to use the Ed25519 public-key authentication and custom SSH keys.
    • Added the ability to update SSH keys.
  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62, requests to REST API containing the Content-Type header with a media-type directive other than “application/json” will result in the HTTP “415 Unsupported Media Type” client error response code. Since the curl commands send the “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded” header by default, you need to add the --header "Content-Type: application/json" option to such commands to keep them working correctly.

    We strongly recommend that you check your existing integrations that use cURL for compliance with this change and update them if necessary. Failure to do so may result in any such integrations ceasing to work after updating to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62.

Windows

  • Added the Log Browser extension to the Recommended and Full presets.

  • Resellers can once again create hosting of domains. Previously the issue occurred because the “Username” field on the “Hosting Settings” page of a domain became unavailable if the “Customers can change the name of their system users” option was set to “Never”. (PPPM-14468)

Linux

  • When an email template is used in Mailman 3, emails are once again delivered to email addresses from a mailing list. (PPPM-14370)
  • Updating the GeoIP data has become more safe because the old data will now be used if any errors occur during the update. (PPPM-14454)
  • When the email sender's address contains the < and/or > symbols, it is once again displayed correctly in the “From” field of a forwarded email. (PPPM-14438)
  • We increased the limit of text that one can paste in SSH Terminal from 512 bytes to 4 kilobytes so that this no longer breaks the connection. (PPPM-14422)
  • In Plesk on AlmaLinux 9, the /var/log/maillog log file is no longer rotated to prevent collecting incorrect statistics. (PPPM-14415)
  • If a sub-directory is protected with its own password and Apache is disabled for the domain, it is no longer possible to access that sub-directory using the password for the parent directory. (PPPM-14410)
  • The removed old IP address of a Plesk server is no longer restored in the /etc/hosts file after assigning a new IP address and changing the hostname. (PPPM-14405)
  • To prevent overuse of server resources, the number of concurrent sw-engine requests when opening the “Domains” page is limited to 12. (PPPM-14400)
  • Fixed incorrect logging of DNS-related events under specific circumstances. (PPPM-14342)
  • The Plesk repair utility once again warns if the last Plesk upgrade has failed for some reason. (PPPM-14177)

  • Fixed the issue where it was impossible to secure a domain using the SSL/TLS certificate if the MailEnable service was running under a user account with insufficient privileges. (PPPM-14458)

Changes in Third-Party Components

  • Updated PHP used by Plesk to version 8.3.8

Linux

  • Updated Phusion Passenger to version 6.0.22.

  • Initial release.

Nextcloud 1.6.8

  • Internal improvements.

Log Browser 1.8.1

Log Browser 1.8.0

  • We are happy to introduce a new version of the Log Browser extension. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the “Mail” tab).

    The feature is available only in Plesk for Linux (except for Ubuntu 24.04) with Postfix used as an MTA.

    We will gradually enable the feature on Plesk servers starting from June 24, 2024. You can enable the feature manually in advance by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser] 
    mailQueue.customerAccess = true
    

    By default, information about emails with the “Rejected” status is removed from the extension’s database after 48 hours to prevent rapid growth of the database. If you need to set another period for storing this information, you can always add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-log-browser] 
    mailQueue.rejectedRemovalPeriod = 172800 ; in seconds
    

    Note: The feature works on top of the journald service and follows the server-wide log configuration. If the logs are rotated or removed, information about the emails will also be unavailable. Processing the logs for the first time may consume extra server resources. Afterward, the extension will process only changed data every hour.

  • Fixed the issue where the “PHP Warning: Undefined array key “Extension Version” error was logged by mistake under specific circumstances. (EXTPLESK-5376)

WP Toolkit 6.4.0

  • Introducing Vulnerability Protection: a new security feature for WordPress websites provided as a part of WP Guardian offer. Vulnerability protection is a non-invasive, automated, lightweight way to neutralize vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins, themes, and WordPress core. Once enabled on a site, vulnerability protection neutralizes high and medium risk vulnerabilities automatically whenever they appear without any need for user engagement.
    • A WordPress plugin will be installed when protection is enabled to automatically neutralize dangerous vulnerabilities by applying special protection rules.
    • Protection rules work like a firewall, so they never touch or modify the site code.
    • Protection rules are applied and removed only for specific vulnerabilities on any given site, so they have minimal effect on site performance.
    • This feature and its corresponding upsell prompts are not visible to control panel users by default. Only the server administrator can see it.
    • You can control the access to this feature via separate limit in your Service Plans.
    • Vulnerability protection is a part of the security suite provided by WP Guardian platform. It requires purchasing a separate license called WP Guardian (Plesk addon).
    • WP Guardian (Plesk addon) is an upgraded version of WP Toolkit Deluxe bundle, combining all previous Deluxe features with Vulnerability Protection (and with more features to be included in the future).
    • The technical name of this feature is virtual patching, and it’s powered by Patchstack. Protection rules (also known as virtual patches) are released for high-to-medium-risk vulnerabilities present in Patchstack vulnerability database
  • CVSS rating used for ranking and sorting vulnerabilities was replaced with Risk rank
    • Risk rank is an aggregate rating of vulnerability impact based on CVSS rating, EPSS rating, Patchstack Patch Priority and other factors
    • Vulnerability filtering feature was changed from specifying a CVSS score threshold to a simple knob for ignoring low-risk vulnerabilities
    • Low-risk vulnerabilities are now ignored by default on all websites after the upgrade to WP Toolkit v6.4
  • Added the ability to change the destination of “Hire a developer” link or hide it completely in global WP Toolkit Settings
  • Must-use plugins are now correctly displayed in the list of plugins with corresponding tags
  • WP Toolkit no longer stops working with Initial data load error: some required fields are not provided error in some rare cases. (EXTWPTOOLK-11652)

    Note: HTTP/3 is not supported on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 18.

  • We are glad to announce the new Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) extension, coming to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.61 and later. The new extension is meant to offer seamless 2FA authentication to all Plesk users, and comes with the following benefits:

    • Multi-factor authentication can now be configured in the profile settings for users of all levels (administrators, additional administrators, resellers, customers, and subscription users).
    • Plesk administrators can now make multi-factor authentication mandatory for all Plesk users on a server. Learn more about making multi-factor authentication mandatory.
    • The Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) extension is added to the Recommended preset.
  • We are glad to announce the fully revamped, customizable Home dashboard in Service Provider View. Keep track of your server and your business by adding, removing, and rearranging informational blocks showing all sorts of data. At the moment, the following blocks are available:

    • Plesk version - Plesk version and information about any available updates.
    • Server Information - Server hostname, IP address, OS, and uptime.
    • Last server backup - The status of server backup and backup schedule.
    • Performance Booster - Available server and website performance optimizations.
    • What’s New - Latest entries from the Plesk changelog.
    • IP Address Banning - The status of the Fail2Ban service.
    • Mail Queue - The status of the email queue (Postfix only).
    • Promo - Information about possible customizations and additional features.

    • Memory usage - Daily memory usage information.
    • Subscriptions with overuse - The list of subscriptions with resource overuse.
    • My subscription - Subscriptions owned by the administrator.
    • Custom Buttons - display custom buttons added by the administrator.

    The feature is currently in beta. To enable it, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [navigation]
    newHomeView.enabled = true
    

    We would love to hear your feedback about the new Home page at feedback@plesk.com.

  • The WordPress single-site management operations from WP Toolkit are now fully integrated into the Dynamic list and shown by default for WordPress websites. If you want to continue managing your WordPress websites from WP Toolkit, you can disable this feature by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-wp-toolkit]
    appModeFeature = off
    
  • (Plesk for Windows) It is now possible to in-place upgrade Windows Server 2012 R2 servers running Plesk to Windows Server 2019. Learn more about in-place upgrading Windows Server 2012 R2 servers.

Feature Improvements

  • Added the ability to manage the settings of scheduled backups (both server-wide and at the subscription level) via the CLI. Learn more about managing scheduled backups via the CLI.
  • Added the ability to manage the settings of scheduled tasks (both server-wide and at the subscription level) via the CLI.
  • Added PHP 8.3 to the Recommended preset. Also, removed PHP 8.1 from the Recommended preset.
  • Improved error reporting in certain places of the Plesk GUI. Now, when there is an error, the browser screen is automatically scrolled to the top of the page, where a more detailed informational message is shown instead of a generic “Internal server error” one.

Future Plans

  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62, requests to REST API containing the Content-Type header with a media-type directive other than “application/json” will result in the HTTP “415 Unsupported Media Type” client error response code. Since the curl commands send the “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded” header by default, you need to add the --header "Content-Type: application/json" option to such commands to keep them working correctly.

    We strongly recommend that you check your existing integrations that use cURL for compliance with this change and update them if necessary. Failure to do so may result in any such integrations ceasing to work after updating to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62.

  • Introducing Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS). We understand that migrating to a new operating system can be a complex process. To give you more time and a peace of mind, we’re introducing the Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) program. This program will run:

    • CentOS 7 & CloudLinux 7 – until January 1, 2026 (vendor EOL date - June 2, 2024)
    • Ubuntu 18.04 & Debian 10 – until July 1, 2025 (vendor EOL dates - September 2024 for Ubuntu 18.04, June 2, 2024 for Debian 10)

    Plesk will continue releasing updates and providing technical support for these OSes beyond the vendor EOL dates, until the dates specified. Supporting EOL OSes incurs additional development and maintenance costs, and so taking advantage of this offer will cost extra. We strongly recommend migrating or dist-upgrading to supported OSes.

Fixed Product Issues

  • Fixed the issue where reading or rereading IP addresses on a server connected to OpenVPN added the IP addresses of TUN interfaces to the list of IP addresses available in Plesk. (PPPM-7965)

    Implementing the fix requires adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [networkInterfaces]
    blacklist = tun*,tap*
    
  • Fixed the issue where restoring from a corrupted backup file produced the unclear “Perhaps /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/deployer application missing, has incorrect permissions or unexpectedly terminated” error after failing. (PPPM-14118)

  • Fixed the issue where a custom Plesk installation produced an unnecessary and misleading “Failed to restart mailman3.service: Unit mailman3.service not found.” warning in the installer log file. (PPPM-14377)
  • Fixed the issue where restoring individual objects (for example, files) from a backup resulted in old cronjobs being restored as well. (PPPM-14387)
  • Fixed the issue where running the plesk repair web command did not restore the PHP-FPM configuration. (PPP-64844)
  • Fixed the issue where renaming subscription system users and additional FTP users could sometimes fail with the “user xxx is currently used by process xxxxx” error. (PPPM-10717)
  • Fixed the issue where, after renaming a subscription’s system user failed, the domain’s PHP FPM handler’s pool became corrupted, and no new domains using the same PHP handler could be created. (PPP-63258)
  • Fixed the issue where .NET applications failed to work if SELinux was enabled on the server. (PPPM-14378)

Windows

  • Fixed the issue where accessing a symlink in File Manager resulted in the “Unable to open the directory: Symlinks out of webspace are prohibited” error. (PPPM-14399)
  • Fixed the issue where the custom “open_basedir” value failed to take effect for websites with a custom document root. (PPPM-14390)

What’s New?

  • To help Plesk users comply with the NIS2 directive, and also to improve the security of Plesk in general, the NIS2 compliance mode makes a number of changes to what is logged to the Plesk Action Log. Learn more about NIS2 compliance mode.

    To enable NIS2 compliance mode, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [actionLog]
    nis2compliant = true
    

    Once you have done so, the following changes take effect:

    • API requests are now logged to the Action Log. To also log API requests that only get information from Plesk and do not result in any changes being made, add the following line to the [actionLog] section:

      api.includeImmutable = true
      
    • Changes to DNS records are now logged to the Action Log, including the specifics (such as what record was added or removed, or what changes were made to an existing record), as well as the GUID of the user who made the change.
    • Action Log is now included in Plesk backups if the “User files” checkbox is selected when creating a backup, and the “Exclude log files” one is not. Customer or reseller level backups only include information pertinent to that customer/reseller.

      Action Log is stored in a separate file with the backup_action-log prefix. Learn how to extract files from a Plesk backup.

  • (Plesk for Linux) We are glad to announce that the ability to upgrade MariaDB database servers to the latest version in the LTS branch via the Plesk interface is no longer in beta! We thank everyone who tried the beta version for their participation and feedback.

    To access this feature, go to Tools & Settings > Database Servers (under “Applications & Databases”), and then click Upgrade Now next to an eligible MariaDB database server.

    The feature is being gradually rolled out to Plesk servers around the world. If you do not see the Upgrade Now button, you can enable the feature manually by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [databaseManagement]
    features.canBeUpgraded = true
    
  • Plesk customers can now get access to Plesk Action Log events related to their subscriptions to monitor changes applied to them. The feature works only together with the Log Browser extension and will be enabled gradually after the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.60. The link to Action Log will appear in the right menu near the domain card.

    We consider the feature to be a mandatory requirement for Plesk to comply with the NIS2 directive. According to the directive, customers must have an ability to monitor changes related to their domains.

    To enable the feature before its official release in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.60, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [actionLog]
    actionLogForEndUsers = true
    

    Note: If you have already enabled the nis2complience setting in the panel.ini file, no need to enable actionLogForEndUsers as well. nis2complience enables all features related to compliance with the NIS2 directive.

  • Full-featured integration of WP Toolkit into Plesk Dynamic list is now available.

    To enable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-wp-toolkit]
    appModeFeature = on
    

    Once you have done so, most WP Toolkit features (except for mass management operations) become accessible directly from Dynamic list in Plesk without having to open WP Toolkit.

  • Added the “Get Started” tab to domain cards in Dynamic List view to make it easier for new users to build websites quickly. It offers many options for creating a website with just one click (like Sitejet, WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, and more). The tab appears when opening a newly created domain’s card for the first time, and remains accessible but nonintrusive once closed. The tab replaces both the previously available “Welcome” panel and the “Create website” button.
  • It is now possible to buy Plesk licenses straight from the DigitalOcean Marketplace interface and attach them to new and existing droplets.
  • With the new paid Sitejet Commerce feature that supports integration with Ecwid, you can now have an eCommerce store on your Sitejet-based website.
  • Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers can now be installed via Plesk Installer on both Plesk for Linux and Plesk for Windows servers. You can find it in the “Mail hosting” section in Plesk for Linux, and in the “Anti-Virus features” section in Plesk for Windows.
  • The latest 30 entries from the Plesk Obsidian changelog are now available in an RSS feed. You can find the feed here.

Feature Improvements

  • The “Scheduled Backups List” extension has been localized into 31 languages: Arabic, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian Bokmal, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese, Brazilian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
  • The Plesk interface and documentation now mention both MariaDB and MySQL where only MySQL was mentioned before.

Linux

  • Plesk now shows the exact amount of physical memory installed on the server. To access this information, go to Tools & Settings > Server Information (under “Server Management”), scroll down to “Memory Usage”, and look for the “Hardware” column.
  • When trying to update Plesk on a server that does not have enough free disk space, Plesk Installer automatically cleans up unnecessary temporary files, then tries again.
  • The “NTP Timesync” extension is now included in the “Recommended” preset.
  • A separate branch of the “NTP Timesync” extension was created so that the extension could still be installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x. Future versions of the “NTP Timesync” extension’s main branch will no longer be compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x.
  • The “NTP Timesync” extension has been localized into 30 languages: Arabic, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmal, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese, Brazilian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
  • Added a message in Tools & Settings > Mail Server Settings advising to set the value of the “Maximum message size” parameter to 135-140% of the maximum allowable attachment size.

Windows

  • It is now possible to install and use the Log Browser extension in Plesk for Windows. The extension also provides access to Action Log events for customers the same way it is done in Plesk for Linux.

Future Plans

  • (For developers of extensions) Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.61, we plan to switch PHP used by Plesk to PHP 8.3. If you are running any custom extensions, you will need to update them to support PHP 8.3 to avoid potential issues.

    You can install Plesk Obsidian 18.0.60 running on PHP 8.3 for testing purposes only by running the following command:

    wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer && bash ./plesk-installer install plesk 18.0.60 --source http://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-php8.3
    
  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62, requests to REST API containing the Content-Type header with a media-type directive other than “application/json” will result in the HTTP “415 Unsupported Media Type” client error response code. Since the curl commands send the “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded” header by default, you need to add the --header "Content-Type: application/json" option to such commands to keep them working correctly.

Deprecated and Removed Items

Windows

  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian for Windows 18.0.60, it will no longer be possible to install the BIND DNS server, or to select it as the default DNS server in Tools & Settings > Server Components. Our support team will also no longer provide answers to questions related to the BIND DNS server in Plesk for Windows.

    We strongly recommend that you switch to Microsoft DNS.

Fixed Product Issues

  • Installing the “NTP Timesync” Plesk extension now correctly results in the Network Time Synchronization button appearing in the Tools & Settings menu (under “Tools & Resources”). (EXTPLESK-2112)
  • Fixed the issue where removing a subscription with one or more backups in remote storage and then restoring only the subscription resulted in the backup file(s) being transferred to the server’s file system, but those backups could not be found in (or removed via) Backup Manager. (PPPM-14306)

(PPPM-14371)
  • Fixed the issue where entering the words “background”, “login page”, or “custom” into the search field in the Plesk interface did not suggest the Tools & Settings > Branding page, as expected. (PPP-64307)

  • Fixed the issue where, after registering a custom DNS backend via the plesk bin server_dns --enable-custom-backend command, adding a DNS record in Plesk did not result in the record’s TTL value being passed to the custom backend. (PPPM-14366)
  • Fixed the issue where SSH access was shown as “Forbidden” on a domain’s Hosting page if the hosting plan the domain’s subscription was based on had the “SSH access to the server shell under the subscription’s system user” parameter set to /bin/bash and the “Management of access to the server over SSH” permission to “Not allowed”. (PPPM-14360)
  • Fixed the issue where, if the permissions on the /etc/domainkeys directory were wrong, running the the plesk repair fs command produced the “Class “Plesk\Repair\Fs\PleskUserException” not found” error instead of fixing them. (PPPM-14358)
  • Fixed the issue where, if outgoing mail control was enabled, emails using the “windows-1253” character set were delivered with malformed contents. (PPPM-14355)
  • Fixed the issue where running the plesk repair web --php-handlers command to fix missing PHP handlers assigned to service plans failed to remove the “The following PHP version(s) are not installed” error shown on the Tools & Settings > PHP Settings page. (PPPM-14350)

  • It is no longer possible to add a DNS record with the asterisk * character in the middle of it (for example, webmail.*.example.com.) because it does not work as a wildcard DNS record and breaks BIND. (PPPM-14186)

Windows

  • If a folder name contains whitespace characters, it no longer makes the corresponding folder in Virtual Directories unaccessible. (PPPM-14129)

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.56

What’s New?

  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.56, the Sitejet Builder extension is installed by default. If for some reason, you want to disable the extension, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [extensions]
    blacklist = plesk-sitejet
    
  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.57 (November 21), the Laravel Toolkit and Node.js Toolkit extensions are installed by default. If for some reason you want to disable the extensions, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [extensions]
    blacklist = laravel,nodejs
    
  • The SSL It! extension now supports DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) that ensures reliable encryption for email transport. When a Let’s Encrypt certificate is being issued, TLSA DNS records of email services will now automatically contain information about the certificate.
  • It is now possible to change the default DKIM selector to a custom one for a single domain or all new domains hosted on the server.

    You specify a custom DKIM selector for a domain in the domain’s mail settings. To specify a custom DKIM selector for all new domains, add lines of the following pattern to the panel.ini file:

    [mail]
    dkimDefaultSelector = newselector
    
  • We are glad to inform you that the DNS Integration for Cloudflare extension is production-ready. Empower your experience with simplified DNS synchronization, enhanced website security, effortless subdomain creation, and smoother workflows. Use Cloudflare CDN, which distributes content around the world to speed up websites.

    • Connect your existing Cloudflare account to Plesk.
    • Import DNS records from Cloudflare to Plesk.
    • Export DNS records from Plesk to Cloudflare (both manually and automatically).
    • Enable/disable Proxy Mode.

Linux

  • Returned support for Ubuntu 18.04 until September 2024.

    Until September 2024 (the Extended Support end date), Plesk continues to deliver new versions of Plesk Obsidian for Ubuntu 18.04. It includes delivering new features and security updates if they do not contradict the software delivered by the OS vendor.

    • Plesk continues to accept technical support requests from Plesk Obsidian on supported product versions on Ubuntu 18.04 without any restrictions.
    • Plesk reserves the right to warn Ubuntu 18.04 administrators about risks of an outdated OS using any channels including in-product notifications.

    We would like to make the following recommendations to our customers:

  • To enhance security, Apache now listens to only the loopback IP address (also called localhost) when Apache runs with nginx as a reverse proxy.

    This feature is turned on by default on new Plesk installations. To enable it on existing installations, run the following CLI command: plesk bin apache --listen-on-localhost true. For information on the feature, see the KB article.

Feature Improvements

  • Improved the logic of the Monitoring button shown on the domain card:

    • The Monitoring button is not displayed when it is not needed (a user chose to monitor a website themselves and did not connect the website to 360 Monitoring).
    • Connecting a website to 360 Monitoring brings back the Monitoring button to the domain card.
    • If a website is connected to 360 Monitoring, clicking the Monitoring button now opens the 360 Monitoring data of the website.
  • The icon of the Monitoring button on the domain card is now dynamic: it reflects the current status of Monitoring for a domain.

Linux

  • alt-php handlers are no longer misleadingly marked as “Outdated” in Plesk. On the contrary, they are supported and actively developed by CloudLinux.
  • Decreased the disk space the ModSecurity database consumes.

Deprecated and Removed Items

  • The following SDK functionality will be deprecated and removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.57. These are legacy functions and classes exposed in the pm.php file:

    • Functions: pm_alert(), pm_warning(), pm_comm_button(), pm_get_gpc(), pm_isset_gpc(), pm_set_gpc(), pm_get_locale(), pm_go_to(), pm_go_to_uplevel(), pm_ldate(), pm_ltime(), pm_ldatetime(), pm_link_button(), pm_lmsg(), pm_plesk_mail(), pm_psaerror(), pm_safetyhtml(), pm_size_b_printing(), pm_size_kb_printing(), pm_size_mb_printing(), pm_size_pretty_printing(), pm_topnote(), pm_util_exec(), pm_util_io_exec().
    • Classes: pm_errHandler, pm_Checker, pm_cList, pm_Form, pm_CustomButton, pm_CustomButtonManager.

    We would like to make the following recommendations:

    • If you have Plesk extensions published in the Plesk Extension Catalog, then we have already checked that the extensions do not use those legacy functions and classes.
    • If you have Plesk extensions not published in the Plesk Extension Catalog, check if your extensions use the modern SDK.

Fixed Product Issues

  • Domains > domain > FTP > FTP account name again opens the Hosting Settings drawer of the system user. (PPPM-14140)

  • When a user tries deleting a directory they have no permission to read, Plesk now shows an actual error message instead of an error message placeholder. (PPPM-14128)

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55

What’s New?

  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55, the Sitejet Builder extension will be installed by default for all new Plesk installations. If for some reason you want to disable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [extensions]
    blacklist = plesk-sitejet
    

    We are constantly working on the extension, so the latest update got the following new features:

    • Clicking Publish now automatically saves the website. This makes sure that the latest version of the website will be published.
    • Added new website templates: MakeIt Agency and LumeDeAqua.
    • Added support for website migrations, making it possible to migrate Sitejet websites between Plesk servers.
    • We’ve given our template selection a stylish makeover to make it even more enjoyable to browse.
    • Fixed a critical issue where some pages were not being indexed by search engines.
    • We now allow cross-origin requests for www-prefixed domains allowing forms to work properly.
    • In our continuous effort to improve performance, we’ve made the publishing process even faster.
  • During the update to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.56 and later, the Sitejet Builder extension will be enabled by default for all existing Plesk installations.
  • We are thrilled to introduce the Flexible Backups feature, which enables you to do the following:

    • Establish multiple backup schedules with different destinations at once to get a flexible and robust backup policy.

    Establishing multiple backup schedules at once is a part of a license to the Backup to Cloud Pro extension. The extension is included to Plesk Hosting Pack.

    • Schedule frequent (several times a day or even on hourly) backups for critical data with one click from the Plesk interface.

    By default, the ability to schedule hourly backups is only enabled for Plesk administrators. To enable resellers and customers to do so as well, go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager, click Settings, select the “Allow customer and reseller accounts to schedule hourly backups” checkbox, and then click OK.

  • Backing up only databases. Previously, it was possible to back up databases together with files only.

  • To ensure better protection of emails from unauthorized changes and impersonation, we added support for 2048-bit DKIM keys. Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55, such keys will be used for all new Plesk installations by default.

    • To enable the feature on existing domains, follow the steps described in the KB article.
    • To switch back to 1024-bit DKIM keys, as a Plesk administrator, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

      [mail]
      dkimKeySize = 1024
      
  • On the domain card, we added the Performance Booster icon that indicates if the website’s performance can be optimized at the moment. The feature is supported in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55 and later by default. To enable the feature in Plesk 18.0.54 and earlier, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-performance-booster]
    domainButtonEnabled=true
    
  • Performance Booster can now detect custom gzip-related directives and suggest applying the optimal configuration excluding these directives.
  • In the Firewall extension, we added indicators to the firewall rules’ descriptions. These indicators show you if a rule allows all traffic or denies some of it.
  • Starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55, Plesk can automatically identify the following:

    • Technologies (PHP, Ruby, Python, .NET, Node.js, Composer).
    • Top PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii).
    • CMS (WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, PrestaShop, TYPO3).

    In Dynamic List view, Plesk adds a corresponding icon to the domain card so that you can figure out which application is installed on a domain at glance. In case Plesk has a matching tool for the used technology (for example, WordPress, Joomla!, .NET, Node.js, Laravel Toolkits, Composer), you can open the corresponding configuration page by clicking the icon. In addition, Plesk published Wappspector, an open-source CLI utility based on this functionality. The utility can analyze the file structure of a web hosting server and identify the frameworks and CMS used on websites that are hosted on the server. For more information on Wappspector, see our Github repository.

  • (Plesk for Windows) Added support for the DNSSEC extension that allows signing DNS zones. DNSSEC stands for Domain Name System Security Extensions and represents a set of DNS protocol extensions that were introduced by IETF with the goal of signing DNS data to secure the domain name resolving process. Please pay attention that if you want to secure Plesk services with DANE, you have to sign a DNS zone using DNSSEC.
  • (Plesk for Windows) It is now possible to load the user profile for IIS application pools. That way you ensure better security and isolations of web applications.

    In the Plesk interface, you can enable the feature using the “Load user profile” option on the following pages:

    • Tools & Settings > IIS Application Pool
    • Domains > Domain_name > Hosting & DNS > Dedicated IIS Application Pool for Website
    • Service Plans > Service_Plan_(or_addon)_name > Performance
    • Customers > Customer_name > IIS Application Pool
    • Resellers > Reseller_name > IIS Application Pool

    Via the CLI, you can enable the feature by adding the -load-user-profile flag option to the following commands:

    • The whole Plesk server: plesk bin server_pref --set-iis-app-pool-settings -load-user-profile true
    • Service plans: plesk bin domain_template -u <service_plan_name> -load-user-profile true
    • Add-on service plan: plesk bin domain_addon_service_plan -c <addon_name> -iis-app-pool true -load-user-profile true
    • Per domain: plesk bin domain -u example.com -load-user-profile true
    • Customers/Resellers options: plesk bin client_pref --set-iis-app-pool-settings <customer_name> -iis-app-pool-turned-on true -load-user-profile true
    • Customers only: plesk bin client -u <customer_name> -iis-app-pool true -load-user-profile true
  • In March 2024, Active List view will be deactivated in domain cards. All customers will be automatically switched to Dynamic List view. See Feature Deprecation Plan for details.

Feature Improvements

  • In Dynamic List view, made a number of improvements to domain cards:

    • Based on your numerous requests, we colored and redesigned the icon set in the domain cards. That way you can find the desired feature with less cognitive load.
    • We renovated the “Statistics” part of the domain cards:

      • Moved the “Data Transfer”, “FTP Transfer report”, “Disk space and traffic”, and “Web Statistics SSL/TLS” links to the new “More statistics” drop-down list.
      • The “Open in web” and “Preview” buttons now appear when you hover the cursor over the website’s screenshot.
    • Improved the UI of the “Hosting Settings” drawer.
    • The PHP Composer extension button is now hidden if PHP is disabled in the domain’s settings.
  • (Plesk for Linux) We prepared Plesk QCOW2 images based on AlmaLinux 9 to replace those based on CentOS 7 because it reaches EOL on June 30, 2024.

What’s New?

  • We are excited to introduce the Sitejet Builder extension, our new website builder for Plesk powered by WebPros. This extension is provided free of charge, allowing you and your clients to effortlessly create modern and stunning websites without any coding skills. Here are some of the key features of our new website builder:

    • Drag & Drop Website Builder
    • 140+ Website Templates
    • 120+ Section Templates
    • Responsive Settings (Flexbox)
    • AI Text Generator
    • SEO Settings
    • Dynamic Content (for example, Blog Feature)
    • E-Commerce
    • Multi-language websites
    • Free Stock Photos & Videos
    • Image Editing
    • Website Backups
    • Full Design Flexibility (HTML, CSS, JS)
    • And many more…

    Once installed, the Sitejet Builder is available in the setup wizard when adding a new domain, but also visible for all other domains on the domain card under ”Install Application”, and also as an option for the “Add Domain” action.

    We would love to hear your feedback about this extension at feedback@plesk.com.

  • Added the ability to tune the MySQL/MariaDB server performance in Tools & Settings > Performance Booster (under “General Settings”).
  • Added the ability to add Transport Layer Security Authentication (TLSA) DNS records to domains’ DNS zones in Plesk. Such records are most commonly used to implement DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE).
  • Added the ability to back up databases separately from other website content by splitting the “User files and databases” checkbox into separate “Databases” and “User files” checkboxes in Backup Manager.
  • Added the ability to schedule hourly backups in Backup Manager. To enable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [pmm]
    allowHourlyTask = on
    

    By default, the ability to schedule hourly backups is only enabled for Plesk administrators. To enable resellers and customers to do so as well, go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager, click Settings > select the “Allow customer and reseller accounts to schedule hourly backups” checkbox, and then click OK.

  • Based on Beta users feedback we are glad to announce that our tool to convert your CentsOS 7 server to AlmaLinux 8 is now Production ready! The ready to use CLI tool is available in our GitHub repository.
  • Added a number of features to the DNS integration for Cloudflare extension (the extension is still in beta).

    • The extension now allows to enable & disable CDN (proxy mode).
    • Plesk administrator can now manage all domains on the server and enable/disable the integration for the domains owned by customers.
  • In Plesk for Windows, it is now possible to integrate your server with 360 Monitoring, a new tool present in the Plesk 360 cloud service. 360 Monitoring brings a couple of useful features, for example, monitoring of website availability, various notification channels, and more.

Feature Improvements

  • It is now possible to set Dark Mode by default in Plesk. To do so, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [branding]
    theme = "dark"
    
  • We made a number of improvements to the way icons are placed on the domain card in Dynamic list view:
    • Changed the way icons are aligned to grid.
    • Limited the number of icons in a row to three.
    • Increased the icon size from 16px to 24px. These changes make the domain card easier to read, and help you locate specific icons more quickly regardless of your viewport size.
  • In Dynamic List view, we merged the “Hosting Settings” and “Web Hosting Access” into a single drawer accessible right from the domain card.
  • Made a number of improvements to Dynamic List view:

    • When set to “On a separate page”, you can now see websites’ root folders. To enable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

      [dynamicList] showColumnHostingLocation = on

    • When set to “In an expanded row”, clicking the “Expand all/Collapse all” button now completely expands or collapses the entire list of domains and subdomains.
    • Removed the separate “Hosting Settings” page for domain aliases. Controls for most settings can now be found right on the alias card. The option to rename a domain alias was moved to the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the alias card.
  • Added support for nightly packages in Plesk on RHEL 9 and its derivatives to the “SOGo Webmail” extension.
  • Added the -auto-confirm-this-may-lock-me-out-of-the-server option to the plesk ext firewall command line utility. The option can be used with the --apply and --enable commands, and removes the need to run the --confirm command in a separate SSH session when applying a new firewall configuration.

    This option must only be used for automated Plesk deployments. Using this option may result in being permanently locked out of the server if the applied firewall configuration is misconfigured.

Fixed Product Issues

What’s New?

  • It is now possible to use Hosting Plan Exporter to export reference hosting plans from one Plesk server and spread them to other servers via the CLI. That way you can keep hosting plans on your Plesk servers unified and up-to-date, as well as quickly deliver them to a newly deployed Plesk server.

    To export several hosting plans via the CLI, run the following command:

    plesk ext hp-exporter --export -plan 'name1, name2...' 
    

    To import hosting plans from a local file, remote storage, or a URL via the CLI, run the following command:

    plesk ext hp-exporter --import -config path_to_source
    
  • To prevent temporary domains from being used for phishing and fraud, we added a banner that appears the first time you visit a temporary domain.

Linux

  • Added the ability to export and import a firewall rules configuration from a Plesk server to other Plesk servers.
  • Based on your feedback, we have published the new 0.2.0 version for the public beta CLI script that in-place converts your Plesk server on CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. We recommend that you use the script to convert your Plesk server and check the result before CentOS EOL on June 30, 2024. That way we will be able to take into account the specifics of your server’s configuration in the stable release.

    Please report any issues related to the conversion on GitHub. We have assigned a developer to process your feedback there. While this script is in beta, we do not provide help with the conversion via Plesk Support.

Feature Improvements

What’s New?

  • (Plesk for Linux) It is now possible to block countries using the Plesk Firewall. The feature works out of the box.

    By default, the feature uses the free version of the DB-IP geolocation database. You may want to use geolocation databases from MaxMind (GeoLite2 or GeoIP2), for example, because they are updated more frequently than DB-IP. GeoLite2 is free, while GeoIP2 is paid, but both require a license key. Learn how to switch from DB-IP to MaxMind.

  • (Plesk for Linux) We are thrilled to introduce the websites’ performance optimization feature. At the moment, it is possible to optimize PHP and nginx settings for one or more websites.

    The feature is available in Tools & Settings > Performance Booster (under “General Settings”). In the next Plesk versions, we aim to introduce MySQL settings optimization and some tweaks to the existing settings for an even greater speed boost.

  • (Plesk for Linux) CentOS 7 reaches end of life on June 30, 2024. We have prepared a public beta CLI script that in-place converts your Plesk server on CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. You can use the script to convert your Plesk server and check the result before CentOS EOL.

    Please report any issues related to the conversion on GitHub and/or send us feedback to beta-extensions@plesk.com. While this script is in beta, we do not provide help with the conversion via Plesk Support.

  • MariaDB 10.11 is now supported. It is the latest “long-term support” version from the vendor.
  • Plesk now supports secure MySQL connections. The Plesk administrator can now connect to a remote database securely via SSL/TLS and prohibit using a non-secure connection.

  • (Plesk for Linux) Ruby 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 are now supported.

Feature Improvements

  • Updated the Node.js Toolkit extension (former Node.js) to version 2.3.0:

    • Added quick access to File Manager.
    • You can now call npm/yarn commands from the “Run Node.js commands” tab in the extension interface.
    • You can now install/remove Node.js versions available on a Plesk for Linux server in the extension interface.
    • Renamed the Node.js extension to Node.js Toolkit.
  • Added the “Ruby” button to the “Adding New Domain” drawer. After a domain with the selected “Ruby” option is created, Plesk offers the necessary toolkit to manage the domain with Ruby right away. It is now easy to enable Ruby at the same time as adding a domain.
  • Modified the “Install Application” drawer:
    • Moved the “Install Application” button to the bottom of a domain card.
    • Moved the “Git” and “Website Importing” buttons from the drawer to a domain card.
    • After an application was installed on a domain, the corresponding application buttons now remain in the drawer.
  • Improved visibility of the global search bar.
  • Global search now shows the most recent results at the top.
  • To bring Plesk in line with the evolving industry-standard vocabulary, added aliases of the following CLI options:

    The dns utility

    • --set-master > --set-primary
    • --set-slave > --set-secondary

    The service_plan utility

    -dns_zone_type (master|slave) > -dns_zone_type (primary|secondary)

    Note: This improvement does not affect existing integrations that use the old CLI options. They continue to work.

Linux

  • Converted the Plesk Firewall module to an extension. It is now possible to update the firewall separately from Plesk.
  • Converted the Premium Antivirus for Servers component to an extension. It is now possible to update the antivirus separately from Plesk.
  • It is now possible to clone MySQL databases that have stored procedure triggers with DEFINER.

Windows

  • MyLittleAdmin is scheduled for removal in June 2023 (Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53).

    We have prepared a KB article with the instructions on how to download, install, and configure local database clients (for example, HeidiSQL and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)) and added the link to the article to the Plesk interface.

    The Plesk administrator can replace the default link with a custom one via the panel.ini file:

    [databaseManagement] 
    features.dbclient.info = "https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/13302777933719" ; the default link

  • The Plesk firewall rules (including custom ones) can now be backed up and restored. (PPPM-12676)

  • Adding or removing mail forwarding via XML API now works. (PPPM-13933)
  • A Plesk administrator account password can now contain up to 255 characters. Previously the password longer than 158 characters caused an error. (PPPM-13965)
  • The “SSH/Shell access” button is again shown for a domain whose owner is allowed SSH access. (PPPM-9970)
  • It is now possible to access files in password-protected directories when “Smart static files processing” and “Proxy mode” are enabled in the “Apache & nginx” settings. (PPPM-13942)
  • Customers with Plesk on the EOL Debian can now update Plesk to the latest availiable version using the plesk installer upgrade <version> ---source <source> command. (PI-763)

Windows

  • If the “Keep secured” feature is enabled, it automatically renews an expired SSL/TLS certificate for FTP in IIS. (PPP-60650)
  • Creating an address book in Horde no longer fails with the “$name must be a string” error. (PPPM-13919)
  • The CLI now supports the set subcommand of the -forwarding-addresses option of the mail utility. (PPPM-13950)
  • It is now possible to create a mail user in SmarterMail 100.0.8495 or later. (PPPM-13966)

Future Plans

  • In the nearest future, we plan to switch PHP used by Plesk to PHP 8.2. This is because security support for PHP 8.0 will end in November 2023. If you are running any custom extensions, you will need to update them to support PHP 8.2 to avoid potential issues.

    This change is currently scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023).

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51

What’s New?

  • Introducing Dark Mode in Plesk for when you want to rest your eyes in a low-light environment. Dark Mode can be enabled by clicking the ‘crescent’ icon in the upper corner of the screen.

    Note: Dark Mode in Plesk uses cookies and works on per session basis.

  • We are glad to introduce the Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers extension. The extension supports Plesk for Linux, including ARM-based servers. Here’s how it helps to protect you from malicious emails:

    • Scans incoming and outgoing mail.
    • Scans all archive and compressed archive file formats.
    • Scans file formats that contain an executable stub that automatically decompresses the body of the file.
    • Rejects malicious and potentially dangerous e-mail messages.
    • Features CX-Mail, a context-aware setting that enables more aggressive detection rules specifically designed for email traffic.
    • Automatically updates virus signatures.

    We would love to hear your feedback about this extension at feedback@plesk.com.

  • We are glad to introduce the production version of the SOGo Webmail extension. Added the following improvements to the extension:

    • It is now possible to customize the service configuration templates.
    • The SOGo database is now backed up daily.
    • The extension has been translated into 32 languages.
  • We are glad to introduce the beta version of the DNS integration for Cloudflare extension. The extension automates the provisioning of DNS records from Plesk to Cloudflare, simplifying this routine to a couple of clicks.

    • Connect your existing Cloudflare account to Plesk.
    • Import DNS records from Cloudflare to Plesk.
    • Export DNS records from Plesk to Cloudflare both manually and automatically.

    We would love to hear your feedback about this extension at beta-extensions@plesk.com.

  • The Website Log Check is no longer in beta. Learn more about Website Log Check. To enable the feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [websitesDiagnostic]
    enabled = true
    
  • We are glad to introduce the result of our research into the possibility to deploy a high-availability Plesk cluster using two new features:

    We built a proof-of-concept high-availability Plesk cluster with active and passive nodes. Read the step by step guide and testing result for such a cluster.

    We would love to hear your feedback about these features and the high-availability cluster on the Plesk forum.

  • Added the ability to recalculate disk space and traffic usage data for individual domains to the Plesk interface.

Feature Improvements

  • Classic list view has been updated to appear and function more closely to Dynamic list view, and also renamed to “Dynamic list view - show websites on a separate page”. If you used Classic list view in the past, “Dynamic list view - show websites on a separate page” should provide a similar, but improved experience.
  • Made a number of improvements to Dynamic list view:
    • Updated the layout of the list of hosted domains in Dynamic list view to make it easier to tell domains from subdomains and to make managing large numbers of domains easier in Dynamic list view.
    • Added the ability to search for domains to Dynamic list view.
    • Updated the Dynamic list view tour to highlight the changes and improvements made to Dynamic list view in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51.
    • Changed the icon of the “View on a separate page” button for better legibility, and also added a “Copy domain name” button in Dynamic list view.
    • Added the Install application button in the Dynamic list view, under “Dev Tools”. Clicking it opens a drawer from which you can install web applications, such as Laravel, Node.js, and Ruby, on your domain. The list of available applications depends on what extensions are installed in Plesk.
  • Reworked the mail service options for individual domains. The available options are now “the domain can both send and receive email”, “the domain can send, but not receive email”, and “the domain can neither send nor receive email”. Selecting the latter option also removes all existing mailboxes for the domain together with all incoming and outgoing mail.
  • Updated the links on Plesk error pages to avoid confusion.
  • To bring Plesk in line with the evolving industry-standard vocabulary, the following changes were made to the terms used in Plesk:
    • “Master DNS server/zone” > “Primary DNS server/zone”
    • “Slave DNS server/zone” > “Secondary DNS server/zone”
  • Illustrations in Plesk have been redone in a unified style for consistency, visual integrity, and emotional response based on our target audience opinions and identified by tests.
  • Requests from the Plesk Screenshot Service to websites hosted in Plesk are now marked by the custom “Plesk screenshot bot” User-Agent header.
  • Plesk Premium Antivirus has been converted from a Plesk component to an extension.

Fixed Product Issues

  • Updated the default DMARC DNS TXT record to make it RFC compliant. (PPPM-13892)
  • Restoring from a backup stored in remote FTP storage now fails with an error instead of hanging indefinitely if the backup is invalid. (PPPM-13925)
  • Information about the availability of WP Toolkit Deluxe for the installed Plesk license can now be found in Tools & Settings > License Information. (PPP-60387)
  • It is now again possible to retrieve the list of all hosted databases via the REST API “databases” endpoint. (PPPM-13917)
  • Removed email forwarding addresses no longer reappear after restoring from a backup. (PPPM-13862)
  • It is now possible to create certificate signing requests with key sizes other than 1024 and 2048 bits via the RPC API. (PPPM-13918)

Linux

  • Removing PHP 8 via Plesk Installer no longer results in an error when browsing Tools & Settings > PHP Settings. (PPPM-13850)
  • Websites using PHP 8.1 and 8.2 with the PHP-FPM handler no longer randomly throw “HTTP 503 Service Unavailable” errors due to the handler process experiencing a segmentation fault. (PPPM-13872)
  • Enabling debug logging in Plesk no longer makes the Plesk GUI inaccessible with the “HTTP 502 Bad Gateway” error. (PPPM-13885)
  • Entering a custom TTL value for a PTR record in Plesk DNS settings now results in the custom value correctly taking effect. (PPPM-13776)
  • Running the plesk repair all -y or plesk sbin fsmng --fix-plesk-packages commands on a Plesk server with the Imunify360 extension installed and the default OS locale changed no longer fails with the “ERROR:’ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xc5 in position 1934: ordinal not in range(128)” error. (PPPM-13860)
  • Running the plesk repair mail command on a Plesk server using Postfix as the mail server no longer enables the mail service if it was intentionally disabled. (PPPM-13859)
  • Websites using PHP 8.1 and 8.2 with OPcache enabled no longer randomly throw “HTTP 503 Service Unavailable” errors due to child processes terminating themselves unexpectedly. (PPPM-13876)
  • On Plesk servers using Postfix as the mail server, securing mail with a TLS/SSL certificate may fail if multiple different end of line sequences (for example, both “\r\n” and “\n”) are used in the certificate body. (PPPM-13887)
  • Running the plesk repair installation command on a Plesk server with phpMyAdmin installed no longer breaks phpMyAdmin configuration. (PPPM-13902)
  • Watchdog will now monitor the correct ploop device after host node reboot if Plesk is installed in an OpenVZ 7/Virtuozzo 7 container. (PPP-57361)

Windows

  • Removing all registered database servers from Tools & Settings > Database servers no longer makes it impossible to add new ones. (PPPM-13893)
  • It is now again possible to change a website’s document root directory via the RPC API. (PPPM-13915)
  • Exporting a database to PDF in phpMyAdmin no longer fails with the “HTTP 500 Server Error” error. (PPPM-13823)

Future Plans

  • In the nearest future, we plan to switch PHP used by Plesk to PHP 8.2. This is because security support for PHP 8.0 will end in November 2023. If you are running any custom extensions, you will need to update them to support PHP 8.2 to avoid potential issues.

    This change is currently scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023).

  • In the nearest future, we plan to stop shipping MyLittleAdmin with Plesk. This is because MyLittleAdmin is not in active development, and has known security issues. Instead, Plesk will provide links to downloadable clients and instructions on how to connect the client to the Plesk server.

    This change is currently scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023).

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.50

What’s New?

We are glad to release the anniversary version Plesk Obsidian 18.0.50. To all our customers, we thank you for your loyalty!

We have prepared a small gift for you. Are you intrigued? Follow the cat paw prints in Tools & Settings > About Plesk (under “Plesk”).

  • Added support for queue workers to the Laravel Toolkit extension. Laravel website owners can now manage queue jobs out of the box: schedule, monitor, remove, rerun, and so on.

    To enable queues in your Laravel project, follow the instructions.

  • Customers can now create database users on the default server and servers where they already have databases (even if customers do not have the “Database server selection” permission).
  • Introduced the new SSL It! main screen, which offers a bird’s view of all domains, installed certificates (if any), the certificates’ expiration dates, and certificate authorities. It is now also possible to filter domains by status (valid, expired, self-signed, and so on) and certificate authority.
  • In the Git extension, added the ability to select users who can access a local repository via HTTP/HTTPS.

    Previously, only the system user had access to all repositories in a subscription. You can now select additional users when creating a local repository or changing the settings of an existing one. These users can pull and push to a local repository via HTTP/HTTPS using their credentials.

  • The Git extension now correctly handles moving domains between subscriptions and places the Git directory to the appropriate subscription afterward.

    Note Moving domains between subscriptions changes the plesk-git directory password because it must be synced with the subscription’s system user password.

  • Due to increased phishing attacks, creating websites with publicly resolvable temporary domain names is available only for paid licenses from now on.

Windows

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2022 is now fully supported. Plesk can now detect Microsoft SQL Server 2022 installed locally and allows to create and manage user databases. It is now also possible to do the following:
    • Use Microsoft SQL Server 2022 as a remote database server.
    • Install Microsoft SQL Server 2022 locally using Plesk Installer.
    • Import and export Microsoft SQL Server 2022 databases via the Plesk interface.

Feature Improvements

  • New domains now sign outgoing mail with DKIM. This improvement protects against email spoofing.

    DKIM helps to verify that an email was indeed sent from the domain and no one tampered with the email content in transit. Previously, DKIM was not enabled by default for domains. Spoofed email messages with ‘From address’ forged to display a Plesk domain could pass DKIM and DMARC validation and were not filtered. New domains now have the “Use DKIM spam protection system to sign outgoing email messages” option selected by default.

    Note: This improvement works only for new domains that have their DNS and mail hosting in Plesk.

  • New domains now use the DMARC quarantine policy by default. This improvement protects outgoing mail against email spoofing.

    The DMARC policy defines how the receiver should treat email messages depending on the results of DKIM and SPF checks. The new default DMARC policy (v=DMARC1; adkim=s; aspf=s; p=quarantine) strictly enables DKIM and SPF checks. Emails that do not pass these checks are now put in quarantine (moved to the spam folder or flagged as suspicious).

    Note: This improvement works only for new domains that have their DNS and mail hosting in Plesk.

  • When migrating to a server with a Plesk Web Admin license installed or installing the license, the previous subscription limits are now ignored and treated as unlimited.
  • Decluttered Dynamic List view and made it easier to navigate through multiple domains:
    • Introduced icons for no-hosting domain types (alias, forwarding, no hosting).
    • Removed the “Type” column.
  • Plesk now better handles domains with modern applications installed (for example, Laravel, .NET, and Node.js) while moving the domains between subscriptions.
  • SSL It! now shows recommended extensions and TLS versions in the “Settings” drawer.
  • Significantly improved backup performance for backups stored in the FTP storage: backup upload speed is now ~1.6 times faster, while CPU load decreased by a factor of two.

Linux

  • It is now possible to use Atomic Standard and Atomic Advanced ModSecurity rule sets in Plesk on RHEL 8, CloudLinux 8, AlmaLinux 8, and Rocky Linux 8. To enable these rule sets, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [modSecurity]
    ruleSet.tortix = true ; enables the Atomic Standard rule set
    ruleSet.atomic = true ; enables the Atomic Advanced rule set
    

Deprecated and Removed Items

  • VPS Optimized has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51. Learn more.

Fixed Product Issues

  • Customers can now access the administrative interface of applications installed via APS Catalog. (PPPM-13842)

  • The “Scheduled Tasks” model dialog box now correctly shows special characters. (PPPM-13817)
  • The “Scheduled Tasks” model dialog box now again has the scroll bar and the “Close” button. (PPPM-13820)

Linux

  • It is now possible to reset password using the Plesk username. (PPPM-13839)
  • It is now possible to use custom PHP-FPM handlers with a systemd unit in /etc/systemd/system/. (PPPM-11570)
  • The text in Tools & Settings > Database Servers (under “Applications & Databases”) > Settings no longer misleads users about remote access support of PostgreSQL. (PPPM-13718)
  • Changing the interface language of Plesk no longer resets that of the Horde webmail to the default English language. (PPPM-13828)
  • Fixed the help of the Plesk Firewall command line utility. (PPPM-13833)
  • Backup Manager can now be opened without any issues in Plesk with a large number of customers (more than 995). (PPPM-13845)

(PPPM-13614)
  • Accessing the backups menu when the pmm-ras.exe binary is missing from the server now results in a comprehensible error message. (PPPM-13391)

    • Introduced the new “Deployment” section that makes it possible to use custom scripts to deploy applications.
    • View the extension logs in Log Browser.
    • (Plesk for Linux) Run artisan and composer commands without having to specify the whole path.

    • Multiple UX improvements.
  • The new “Add Domain” screen is now enabled by default. Learn more about this improvement.
  • The /root/.my.cnf file that contains the password for the MySQL console client no longer blocks Plesk automatic updates.

  • Plesk again shows the content of the Application Catalog categories (“All Available Applications” > “Web”, “Collaboration”, and so on). (PPPM-13546)
  • Restoring a domain from a backup now preserves custom TTL values of the domain’s DNS records. (PPPM-13426)

Linux

  • The console now works using a domain’s PHP version instead of the system PHP. Customers can now run artisan, composer, and other commands without having to specify the whole path.

    To propagate and turn on the feature for all subscriptions, run the plesk bin php_settings --update-all command.

    To use the feature in Scheduled Tasks, prepend the cron command with the following:

    export PATH="/opt/plesk/phpenv/bin:$PATH"; eval "$(phpenv init -)";
    

    To disable the feature and bring back how the console worked before, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [php]
    phpenv = off
    

    Note: The feature works for Plesk PHP handlers only. It does not work for custom PHP handlers and CloudLinux with CageFS.

  • Ubuntu 22.04 is now supported, with certain limitations. You can use the dist-upgrade procedure to upgrade your OS from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04.
  • It is now possible to customize the client_max_body_size nginx directive in the Plesk interface, via the CLI, and via the XML API.
  • It is now possible to change a database user password on the remote database server Percona MySQL 8.0.23. (PPPM-13538)

  • ionCube Loader is no longer shipped with Plesk because of the reorginization of the third-party component shipment with Plesk. ionCube will be automatically installed in one of the upcoming releases in the scope of installation of the PHP components.

    To use ionCube Loader, install it manually.

    Note: The already installed ionCube Loader component continues to work but PHP updates no longer update the component.

  • Excluded the myLittleAdmin component from the “Full Installation” preset and marked the component as outdated.

    Note: The vendor does not support myLittleAdmin since 2013. Using outdated components is not secure. You can still install the component at your own risk by doing the following:

    • (During Plesk installation) Select the “Custom” installation type and then select myLittleAdmin.

    plesk bin extension --call git --deploy -domain example.com -name repo-example -no-deployment-actions
    
    # only run custom deployment actions for the "repo-example" repository on domain "example.com"
    plesk bin extension --call git --run-deployment-actions -domain example.com -name repo-example
    

    To use deferred execution of custom deployment actions via the XML API, run the following requests:

    <!-- run deploy without custom deployment actions for repository "repo-example" on domain "example.com" -->
    <packet><extension><call><git><deploy><domain>example.com</domain><name>repo-example</name><no-deployment-actions/></deploy></git></call></extension></packet>
    
    <!-- only run custom deployment actions for the "repo-example" repository on domain "example.com" -->

Docker 1.5.3

  • Internal improvements.

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.43 Update 1

Linux

  • Updating Plesk to version 18.0.43 no longer fails when MySQL Community Server is used. (PPPM-13514)

WordPress Toolkit 5.10.2

  • WordPress plugins and themes will now be properly autoupdated by WordPress Toolkit after the corresponding autoupdate settings are enabled and “Take over wp-cron.php” option is switched on.
  • Twenty Two theme now properly conforms to autoupdate settings when it’s installed during WordPress core update. (EXTWPTOOLK-8831)
  • “WordPress Vulnerabilities” screen now displays a hint if WordPress core update is required to update a vulnerable plugin or theme. (EXTWPTOOLK-8538)

Linux

  • The new ‘Add Domain’ screen is now enabled by default for new Plesk Obsidian installations. This screen provides additional domain creation options:

    • Create a blank site.
    • Create a WordPress site.
    • Upload content using File Manager after website’s creation.
    • Connect a Git repository.
    • Import website from another hosting.

    To disable it, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

      [domainManagement]
      applicationWizard.enabled = false
    
  • Node.js applications now write their logs to separate log files that can be viewed in the Log Browser. To disable this feature, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

      [ext-nodejs]
      showApplicationLogs = false
    
  • The Node.js extension now automatically cleans up the downloaded archives of minor Node.js versions that are no longer necessary from the extension’s cache.
  • Fine-tuned the password strength validator in Plesk to make it better at accurately evaluating strength of passwords generated by third-party applications and services.

    The feature is disasbled by default because it may affect the automatic password generation scripts that must meet the new requirements. To enable the updated password strength validator, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

      [passwordManagement]
      estimator = zxcvbn
    

    The feature will be enabled by default in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.45. Read more about this feature.

  • For customers, who use automatic scripts for subscriptions/customers creation the new “API 1038 error code” was added. This error code will be returned to a 3rd-party system if a used password was not accepted by Plesk so it will be possible to reinitiate the password generation process. It means that customers with a such scenario can update their scripts to reinitiate a password generation and validation process if the previous password was not accepted.
  • On Plesk servers using BIND as the DNS server, the “notify-to-soa” option is now in effect. This ensures that the NS server specified as the primary master name server for a DNS zone in the zone’s SOA record is sent NOTIFY messages. This is useful in “hidden master” scenarios where the master NS server is not listed at the registrar and does not have an NS record in the DNS zone, and a slave NS server is listed in the SOA record instead.
  • Increased the speed of website preview generation for certain websites.
  • Increased the speed of switching between domains by up to 25% while using the File Manager or the domain card.
  • When configuring a custom TTL value for a DNS record for a domain, the custom value is also propagated to the DNS zones of all of that domain’s domain aliases. (PPPM-13425)
  • Receiving one or more emails with very long subject lines no longer causes some information to not be shown in “Tools & Settings” > “Mail Queue”. (PPPM-13462)
  • Clarified the notification shown when one or more backup files in remote FTP storage do not conform to the expected naming conventions. (PPPM-13453)

  • Configuring or attempting to back up to a remote FTP repository hosted on the Azure Blob service no longer fails with the “(SSH_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED)” error. (EXTPLESK-3418)
  • Perl and Python support is no longer listed as available but turned off in “Account” > “Hosting Options” if the corresponding Plesk components are not installed. (PPPM-13456)

Linux

  • Indroduced a beta version of the Laravel Toolkit extension that allows you to manage Laravel applications running on your Plesk server:

    • Scan and automatically connect Laravel websites to Laravel Toolkit. That way you can manage them using the Plesk interface.
    • Get your Laravel applications from a remote Git repository and deploy them.
    • Automatically update Laravel applications using Git webhooks.
    • Manage the .env file using the graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Performing dist-upgrade from Debian 10 to Debian 11 no longer results in an outdated version of the “plesk-py27-paramiko” package being installed. (PPPM-13478)
  • On Ubuntu 20.04 servers, restarting the nginx service no longer results in the “Unable to restart the service: Failed to fetch” error. (PPPM-13483)
  • The BIND service no longer fails to start after updating to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.42.1. (PPPM-13487)
  • Clarified the error message shown and logged when subscription creation fails when greylisting is enabled in global spam filter settings, but the /var/lib/plesk/mail/greylist directory is missing. (PPPM-13457)
  • Log rotation now works correctly after updating to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.42. (PPPM-13473)
  • After updating to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.42, backup creation no longer fails with the “Unable to run the backup agent” error. (PPPM-13492)
  • Installing Plesk Obsidian on a server running AlmaLinux 8.4 no longer results in misleading warning messages in the installer log. (PPPM-13485)
  • On servers running an RPM-based Linux with Yum, it is no longer possible to run the yum clean all command during the update, which led to the update failing. (PPPM-11218)
  • Setting the settings.fpm.pm.process_idle_timeout.values[] and settings.fpm.pm.process_idle_timeout.default PHP parameters to exactly “1” in the panel.ini file no longer prevents users from changing PHP handlers for hosted domains. (PPPM-13484)
  • Running the plesk repair web command now also repairs missing PHP modules. (PPPM-13387)
  • “Forgot password” emails are now sent in the language matching the user’s language configured in Plesk. (PPPM-13496)

SSL It! 1.10.0

  • It is now possible to hide the ability to issue wildcard Let’s Encrypt certificates for domains that do not use Plesk as the DNS server and cannot be automatically secured with these certificates. This prevents failed attempts to issue the certificates and reduce customer support tickets.

    You can turn on the feature in the Plesk interface (Extensions > the “My Extensions” tab > click Open next to “SSL It!” > “Settings”) or via the CLI.

    To configure the feature via the CLI, run plesk ext sslit --wildcard-configuration -enable -nameservers 'ns1.<domain>,ns2.<domain>'. To see more details, use the plesk ext sslit --help command.

  • A domain secured with a wildcard Let’s Encrypt certificate with all the options enabled (“Redirect from http to https”, “HSTS”, and so on) is no longer wrongly marked as “Security can be improved”. (EXTSSLIT-1746)

Monitoring 2.3.1

  • Internal improvements.

Monitoring 2.3.0

  • It is now possible to hide the 360 Monitoring license panel, which displays the limit of websites and servers available for monitoring. To hide the license panel, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-monitoring] 
    cloudShowLicensePanel = false
    
  • It is now possible to limit the number of websites 360 Monitoring monitors per server. The default limit set by the 360 Monitoring license affects multiple servers. To prevent one or more servers from using up the whole license limit, add the following lines to the panel.ini files of the servers you want to limit:

    [ext-monitoring] 
    cloudMaxWebsites = 5 ; the desired website limit
    
  • The extension now shows a warning if 360 Monitoring stops processing one of your servers (because the license limit has been reached or the server has been archived in the 360 Monitoring interface).

Git 2.0.3

  • A new method get-public-key was added to both CLI and XML API. The method generates a new SSH key for a domain if it does not already have an SSH key generated for it and displays the publik key part as the output.

    To generate a new SSH key for “example.com” via the CLI, run the following command: plesk bin extension --call git --get-public-key -domain example.com

    To generate a new SSH key for “example.com” via XML API, execute the following request: <packet><extension><call><git><get-public-key><domain>example.com</domain></get-public-key></git></call></extension></packet>

  • When logged in as a reseller, creating a git local repository no longer results in an error. (EXTGIT-205)

    [pmm]
    manageBackupsByAdminOnly = true
    

    Note that scheduled backups already configured by users other than the administrator will continue to run.

  • The “Tools & Settings” > “DNS Template” screen has been renamed to “DNS Settings”.
  • The “DNS zone serial number format” section of the “DNS Settings” > “Zone Settings [template]” has been renamed to “Advanced DNS features”.
  • On Plesk servers using BIND as the DNS server, it is now possible to specify additional DNS server parameters using named.conf syntax. To do so, enter them in the newly added “Additional DNS settings” field (found on the “Tools & Settings” > “DNS Settings” > “Server-wide Settings” screen). These parameters override all other server-wide parameters configured elsewhere.
  • A link to a video describing the process of managing DNS records in Plesk has been added to the “DNS Helper” wizard.
  • Kaspersky Antivirus has been converted from a Plesk component to an extension and excluded from the “Recommended” preset. As a result, the size of the Plesk distributable decreased by 35%, which will lead to faster downloads and shorter installation times. This change will not impact servers with Kaspersky Antivirus installed in any way.
  • On Plesk servers with the “Joomla! Toolkit” extension installed, the option to create a website with the latest Joomla! version installed has been added to the “Add Domain” wizard.
  • Plesk now treats cloud servers runnng on ARM processors as KVM virtualization allowing for the use of VPS license keys.

  • The default SOA Expire Value for domains created in Plesk was increased from 7 days to two weeks to avoid misleading warnings (for example, “SOA Expire Value out of recommended range”). (PPP-56007)
  • When creating a domain as a Plesk administrator and selecting the “Assign this domain to a customer” option, the list of IP addresses (shared and dedicated) available to the selected customer is now shown instead of the list of IP addresses available to the administrator. (PPPM-12040)
  • Running the plesk login command, logging in to Plesk via the generated URL, and then running the plesk login command again no longer results in an invalid URL being generated. (PPPM-13134)
  • When uploading a database dump via the “Import Dump” feature, the existing database (if it exists) is removed and then recreated if the “Recreate the database” option is enabled. (PPP-55727)
  • The pmm-ras command line utility now properly logs all required information if verbose logging is enabled in the panel.ini and pmmcli-rc files. (PPPM-13396)

Let's Encrypt 2.15.0

  • According to the deprecation plan, we hide the Let’s Encrypt interface elements. This change was announced in the Let’s Encrypt 2.14.0 release. For now, you can bring back the Let’s Encrypt interface elements by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-letsencrypt]      
    showInterface = true
    

    On March 15, 2022 (Let’s Encrypt release 3.0.0), we completely convert the extension into the SSL It! plugin. It will no longer be possible to issue and manage Let’s Encrypt certificates without the SSL It! extension in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.22 and later.

    If your Plesk does not have the SSL It! extension installed, the Let’s Encrypt release 3.0.0 will automatically install it.

  • Removed the code related to the deprecated ACMEv1 protocol from the Let’s Encrypt extension. Let’s Encrypt stopped using ACMEv1 to issue certificates.

Monitoring 2.2.1

  • 360 Monitoring graphs are now available again because we fixed the issue with the agent360 configuration file. Because of the incorrect file permissions, agent360 stopped sending the data to the 360 Monitoring server. (EXTPLESK-3361)

    To improve agent360 stability, we recommend that you install update 2.2.1 even if your 360 Monitoring was not affected.

Joomla! Toolkit 2.4.6

  • We have created the current extension’s “maintenance only” fork for Plesk versions 17.0.17-18.0.40 and labeled it version 2.4.6.

Windows

  • Monitoring now shows the real memory usage and swap usage separately.

WordPress Toolkit 5.9.2

  • Detached WordPress sites are no longer re-added through the Scan procedure, making their detachment permanent. If you need to add a detached site back for some reason, find and remove the .wp-toolkit-ignore file in the site’s root folder.
  • Block author scans and Enable bot protection security measures no longer break WordPress sites installed in a subdirectory. (EXTWPTOOLK-8578)

SSL It! 1.9.10

  • SSL It! now controls the feature of securing Plesk with SSL/TLS certificates (instead of the Let’s Encrypt extension, which did it before).
  • If the Sectigo SSL extension is blacklisted, the “Extension with ID ‘sectigo’ is in blacklist” error no longer occurs. (EXTSSLIT-1842)
  • If internationalized domain names (IDN) are mixed case, the extension no longer shows a redundant warning. (EXTSSLIT-1868)
  • If Plesk is secured with a certificate issued for a custom domain name, renewal of the certificate now keeps the custom domain name. (EXTSSLIT-1869)
  • If nginx is disabled, it is no longer possible to start securing a domain with the “Forwarding” hosting type (because this scenario is not supported and is bound to fail). (EXTSSLIT-1871)

In most cases, you will be able to use Composer for your applications as you did before, except for cases described in Composer’s Upgrade Notes (section “For composer CLI users”). To rollback to Composer 1.0 instance, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [ext-composer]  
    composerVersion = '1' 
    

    and run the ‘self-update.php’ scheduled task in Plesk.

Sectigo SSL 1.3.10

  • Internal improvements.

  • Cgroups Manager is now a free-to-use feature, and a welcome addition to the Plesk Web Pro and Web Host editions. Read more about this feature.
  • Added the plesk bin action-log CLI utility. The utility can be used to extract action log entries in raw or JSON format, and also to manage action log rotation settings.

    See how to use the utility in Plesk for Linux and Windows.

  • Added the ability to switch outgoing mail control from counting individual messages to counting the total number of recipients from the Plesk interface (“Tools&Settings” > “Mail Server Settings” > turn on limitations on outgoing email messages > “Count a number of recipients instead of messages”).
  • Reduced page load time for the Domain Overview screen.
  • Improved the Plesk UI related to tasks in progress to make it more appealing and easier to use.
  • The “Webspace Settings” section is no longer collapsed by default when adding domains, and will instead remember its last state, whether collapsed or expanded. This will make adding multiple domains easier for people who routinely changed the default usernames, passwords, or IP addresses during domain creation.
  • Decreased the page load time for a number of most popular screens in Plesk. Transitions to the following screens are now up to 400% faster:

    • DNS Settings (-400%)
    • Websites & Domains (-15%)
    • Domains (-15%)
    • File Manager (-10%)
    • PHP Settings (-28%)
    • Web Hosting Access (-25%)
    • Hosting Settings (-7%)
  • Added the ‘Allow necessary cookies’ option to the cookie banner in Plesk to comply with the updated GDPR requirements.
  • The SSH Terminal extension now shows a helpful pop-up with instructions if it is unable to connect (for example, because the ssh service is not running or because root login is prohibited).
  • Added the ability to prevent customers from changing the Recycle Bin rotation settings in File Manager. To restrict the ability to change rotation settings to admins and resellers only, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

Let's Encrypt 2.14.0

  • Changing Let’s Encrypt from a standalone extension into a plugin for SSL It!

    In February 2022, we plan to change Let’s Encrypt into a plugin for the SSL It! extension.

    Will I lose any Let’s Encrypt features?

    You will not! The SSL It! extension already has all the features Let’s Encrypt has and more. The only change is that Let’s Encrypt stops being a standalone extension and starts working only in tandem with SSL It!

    Which Plesk versions will it affect?

    Plesk Obsidian 18.0.22 and later. Earlier Plesk versions do not receive either SSL It! or Let’s Encrypt updates.

    How can I continue working with Let’s Encrypt certificates?

    • If your Plesk version is 18.0.22 and later, install SSL It! and use it from now on.
    • If your Plesk version is 18.0.21 and earlier, update Plesk to version 18.0.40, install SSL It!, and then use it from now on. You can still manage Let’s Encrypt certificates using the maintenance-only fork of the Let’s Encrypt extension (it comes with no new features, improvements, or bug fixes).

    How and when will the change go into effect in Plesk 18.0.22 and later?

    We are making this change in three steps:

    • On December 14, 2021 (Let’s Encrypt release 2.14.0), we announce the changes in the Plesk Change Log and Plesk UI notifications.
    • On February 15, 2022 (Let’s Encrypt release 2.15.0), we hide the Let’s Encrypt UI elements. At that point, you will still be able to bring them back by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:

        [ext-letsencrypt]     
        showInterface = true
      
    • On March 15, 2022 (Let’s Encrypt release 3.0.0), we completely change the extension to an SSL It! plugin. It will no longer be possible to manage Let’s Encrypt certificates in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.22 and later without SSL It! If you have not installed SSL It! by yourself, Let’s Encrypt release 3.0.0 will automatically install it for you.

    Note: The showInterface setting in the panel.ini file (mentioned above) stops working from this point on. Keeping it will not hinder your Plesk server in any way. However, we recommend that you remove the showInterface = true line from panel.ini to declutter the file content.

    Why do you make these changes to the Let’s Encrypt extension?

    Less than 10% of all Plesk servers use Let’s Encrypt without SSL It! Plus, combining the SSL It! and Let’s Encrypt extensions offers more features than Let’s Encrypt alone.

Extension Catalog 1.15.0

  • Description of Block author scans security measure was also updated to appease the nitpickers from our security team. (EXTWPTOOLK-8253)
  • Changelog links for plugins and themes were returned on the Plugins and Themes global tabs and Updates screen. (EXTWPTOOLK-8339)
  • Remote sites connected via plugin can again be properly updated via WordPress Toolkit without unexpected consequences. (EXTWPTOOLK-8235)

  • Now Plesk automatically removes information about OCSP stapling from the configuration file of the domain web server when unassigning a certificate from the domain.
  • Plesk no longer replaces the value of the “Keep websites secured with free SSL/TLS certificates” service plan setting of the SSL It! extension with the value of a similar setting from the Let’s Encrypt extension. Previously it happened when updating SSL It! (EXTSSLIT-1741, EXTSSLIT-1788)

  • Updated the text of the links in the notification shown when a user runs out of domains they can monitor for free to prevent possible confusion. (EXTPLESK-3189)

Sectigo SSL 1.3.9

  • In Plesk for Linux, improved chances of successful issuance of SSL/TLS certificates for domains that have access restrictions or custom rewrite rules. To deliver this, the extension now uses the general location of HTTP tokens.

    Note: If necessary, you can turn off this improvement by running the following command: plesk ext sslit --common-challenge-dir -disable. However, we recommend that you always keep the improvement on.

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.40

  • Replaced Gzip with ZSTD as the default compression method for backup and restore operations in Plesk. On multi-CPU servers, depending on the type of data being backed up, this provides the following benefits:

    • Reduces the backup size by up to 20%.
    • Reduces the CPU load by up to 25%.
    • Reduces the backup creation time by up to 2x (fast), and by up to 4x (fastest), based on the compression level.

    The desired compression level can be set in “Tools&Settings” > “Backup Manager” > “Settings”. The ‘Fast’ level is set by default.

  • Added the ability to disable automatic HTTP > HTTPS redirection for webmail. To enable it, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    [mail]
    webmail.forceHttp = true
    

    On Plesk for Windows, to disable automatic HTTP > HTTPS webmail redirection for existing domains, run the plesk repair web -webmail command.

  • Removed a number of Plesk extensions from the Plesk Installer due to low usage. These extensions are still available from the Extensions Catalog:

    In addition, the Plesk Cgroups Manager extension was removed from the “Recommended” preset, and the Site Import extension was added to the “Recommended” preset.

  • Due to security improvements made by Google, if you are using Google Drive Backup Plesk extension to create backups on a shared drive belonging to a corporate account, you need to do the following to be able to make backups (users with personal drives are unaffected):

  • Plesk Administrator should explicitly specify their country of residence in their profile.
  • A number of buttons initiating the primary action on the page have been visually highlighted to make them more noticeable.
  • When creating a subscription, physical hosting is now correctly configured if the subscription’s system user’s password includes one or more ampersand (“&”) characters. (EXTREST-118)
  • Domain Preview now correctly accesses the website being previewed via IPv4, even if an IPv6 address is also configured for the domain. (PPPM-13075)
  • For certain older Plesk extensions, clicking the name of a domain on the extension’s page no longer results in the domain overview page opening with layout and domain name, but no content. (PPPM-13252)
  • Running the plesk repair mail command for a domain in Plesk with “Outgoing messages from a subscription (per hour)” set to “Unlimited” no longer results in an error. (PPPM-13272)
  • Searching for a mailbox in Plesk when on the Home Page no longer results in the “An invalid URL was requested” error. (PPPM-13273)
  • Opening the Plesk Installer interface in a web browser no longer results in SSL certificate errors. (PPPM-13295)
  • It is now possible to add and modify database users even if the subscription’s default MySQL server is not available. (PPPM-13265)
  • Changing the IP address for a subscription now correctly updates the IP address of all domains owned by the subscription with the “Forwarding” hosting type. (PPPM-13256)
  • Operations in File Manager no longer incorrectly affect previously viewed webspaces. (PPPM-13268)
  • The controls in “DNS Settings” no longer sometimes disappear when logged in to Plesk as a customer. (PPPM-13292)

Linux

  • Added the ability for Outgoing Mail Control to count the number of individual recipients (TO, CC, and BCC) instead of messages. This closes an abusable loophole which allows users to send bulk email by specifying a large number of recipients (the current Outgoing Mail Control logic counts each individual email as just one message sent, no matter how many recipients the email is sent to). To switch Outgoing Mail Control from counting messages to counting recipients (and vice versa), run the plesk bin mailserver --set-outgoing-messages-count-recipients <true|false> command (the change is server wide). (PPM-7181)
  • Specifying custom values for both the proxy_read_timeout nginx directive and max_execution_time PHP setting for the same domain results in the max_execution_time value being substituted for the proxy_read_timeout value (e.g., adding proxy_read_timeout 1800; to “Apache&Nginx Settings” > “Additional Nginx directives” and setting max_execution_time to 90 in “PHP Settings” will result in proxy_read_timeout being set to 90 in the nginx configuration file for the domain in question). (PPPM-12599)
  • On Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 servers, re-reading and repairing IP addresses in Plesk no longer results in unnecessary duplicate lines sometimes being added to the /etc/netplan/10-plesk.yaml file. (PPP-53340)
  • Users can now manage the PHP-FPM version for domains after an incomplete systemd upgrade on the server. (PPPM-13248)
  • Trying to remove a database registered in Plesk but hosted on an external database server no longer results in an error if the database user name includes one or more underscore (“_”) characters. (PPPM-13239)
  • Removed the ampersand (“&”) character from the list of characters that cannot be used in passwords in Plesk included with the error message shown when the provided password does not meet the password strength requirements. (PPPM-13229)
  • Cached memory is no longer included in the memory usage calculation in “Tools&Settings” > “Server Information”.(PPPM-13264)
  • Added a human readable error message for cases when Task Manager fails to show the list of current tasks due to the number of simultaneously running tasks being very high. (PPPM-13123)
  • Running the plesk bin pleskbackup command with the “-z” or “no-gzip” options now correctly results in the backup file not being compressed. (PPPM-13254)
  • Trying to create a backup of a subscription no longer results in an error if the subscription’s name includes both uppercase and lowercase letters. (PPP-54691)
  • It is now possible to move domains to subscriptions that were created on Plesk versions 11 or earlier and then migrated to a Plesk Obsidian server. (PPPM-12916)
  • Mail messages forwarded from a Plesk server, or from one mail account to another on the same Plesk server no longer includes an unnecessary duplicate “From:” header. (PPPM-13296)
  • Trying to enable SSLv3 (which is outdated and insecure) on a Plesk server by running the plesk bin server_pref -u -ssl-protocols 'SSLv3' command now correctly fails with the “Protocol ‘SSLv3’ is not supported” error. (PPPM-13242)
  • Plesk Installer no longer reports errors if the locale used in Plesk is not configured correctly in Linux. (PI-331)
  • Restoring a backup in Plesk no longer results in a warning if the nginxCacheBypassLocations nginx directive is configured in the panel.ini file. (PPPM-13300)
  • Mailbox size limits specified in a hosting plan settings are now correctly propagated to mailboxes of all domains that belong to subscriptions based on that plan.
