Plesk, enable multiple PHP instances of same versions - php

I have a Plesk installation where I already have a number of domains and they can have their own PHP versions.
I have a situation where I want to set up a test domain. This needs to use the same PHP version as the actual domain but I don't want it to share the same PHP processes. In particular, it should not share same set of PHP extensions, which is configured in Plesk on a per version level, not per domain level.
However I don't see a way to do this with Plesk or I don't even know if this is possible or not.
I want to ensure that testing will not adversely impact other domains so a bit extra separation is wanted.
Note: normally, one would set up a separate server for testing; however, this is not practical in this particular situation, so if this is wrong approach, I'd like to hear suggestions on how one can support testing on a shared server without being disruptive.

You can create semi-isolated PHP handler by
# cp -r /opt/plesk/php/7.1 /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test
# /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --add -id 7.1.2-test -displayname 7.1.2-test -path /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/bin/php-cgi -clipath /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/bin/php -phpini /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/etc/php.ini -type fastcgi
# now add xdebug extension to /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/etc/php.ini
# echo "extension=/opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so" >> /opt/plesk/php/7.1_test/etc/php.ini
There is only issue that this PHP handler will still takes loaded extension from original /opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/php.d/ because this path is compiled and as I see it can't be redefined in php.ini
ORIGIN ANSWER
For Windows you can set separate IIS Application pool:
For Linux you can just make use that domain is using PHP-FPM handler:
29271 ? Ss 0:00 0 3408 129231 5800 0.5 php-fpm: master process (/opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php-fpm.conf)
29584 ? S 0:00 0 3408 149283 16624 1.6 \_ php-fpm: pool d1.cl1.a10-52-31-113.qa.plesk.ru
29593 ? S 0:00 0 3408 149283 16624 1.6 \_ php-fpm: pool cl1.a10-52-31-113.qa.plesk.ru

How to reduce PHP FPM and MySQL memory usage in Debian 9

I'm managing a server on AWS, t2.micro (1 Mem GiB) instance type with Debian 9.
Main services installed are:
Nginx (active)
MySQL (active)
Supervisor (stopped)
Redis (active)
These programs are for 10 Laravel (PHP) projects enabled.
The problem is that free memory is always between 60MB-75MB and I can't even start supervisor service or install new project dependencies via composer without crashing everything (including SSH session):
$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 994 477 71 140 444 233
Swap: 0 0 0
The processes consuming memory are:
$ ps aux | awk '{print $6/1024 " MB\t\t" $11}' | sort -n
...
10.9492 MB php-fpm:
104.473 MB php-fpm:
120.109 MB php-fpm:
144.262 MB php-fpm:
380.344 MB /usr/sbin/mysqld
Actually I have only 2 MySQL (not large) databases. Why MySQL is consuming 380MB? There's a way to optimise it?
And what about PHP-FPM, there is a need to run 4 different processes with ~100MB each? How to reduce this?
Default MySQL settings are optimized and suitable for general situations. If it consumes 380 MB (in our days it is a small amount of memory), it is probably normal. Still, you could make some things with MySQL:
use MyISAM instead of InnoDB (you could turn off InnoDB engine - refer to MySQL docs)
Change some memory caches parameters (please refer to http://www.tocker.ca/2014/03/10/configuring-mysql-to-use-minimal-memory.html and MySQL documentation) but in this case, you might get performance degradation of your MySQL server.
Best of all is to use cheaper hosting because AWS is overpriced. You can buy more powerful server for the same money.

How does one enable the OCI8 PHP extension, using the Oracle Instant Client, in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with PHP-FPM and NGINX?

I'm using the latest PHP packages available from https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php .
When I build and install the OCI8 extension, everything appears to be in order, but despite enabling the extension in the PHP-FPM configuration, its presence is not reflected in the output from phpinfo().
The following Gist details the exact process that I'm using to configure, build, and install the OCI8 PHP extension:
https://gist.github.com/cbj4074/fa761f60b6f8db431539d76ebfba828e
The very same process and configuration work perfectly well on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, so it seems that there is some fundamental difference on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, whether with the operating system or the PHP packages in question.
As a bit of important (and I suspect relevant to this issue) background information, on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, the extension fails to load in the CLI environment out-of-the-box, with the error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20160303/oci8.so' - libmql1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
I resolved the issue like so:
# echo 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2"' >> /etc/environment
I thought that perhaps adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the PHP-FPM environment configuration might resolve the equivalent issue there:
# echo "env['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2" >> /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
# systemctl restart php7.2-fpm
This does indeed cause the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value, as specified, to be reflected in both the Environment section of phpinfo() (when rendered via PHP-FPM + NGINX and requested from a browser) and the PHP Variables section, as $_SERVER['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'].
Oddly, even with PHP-FPM's logging set to debug, I don't see any trace of the libmql1.so error that I experience with the CLI. The OCI8 extension simply fails to load, silently. display_startup_errors = On in PHP-FPM's effective php.ini, too.
I elected to see if the OCI8 extension works in Apache, on the same server, and it does, provided I add export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2 to /etc/apache2/envvars; in its absense, Apache complains on startup:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'oci8.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20170718/oci8.so (libmql1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20170718/oci8.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/oci8.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
None of this business with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and based on my observations herein and the comments regarding https://stackoverflow.com/a/45242468/1772379 , that changed in Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Has anybody else tried this, on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, specifically?
I've tried this on two different Vagrant VMs, laravel/homestead box 6.0.0, and ubuntu/bionic64 box v20180509.0.0, and the behavior is the same in both.
Any other ideas would be most appreciated!
EDIT 1:
I asked about this issue on the package maintainer's GitHub tracker and he suggested that the problem stems from failing to set an appropriate RPATH at compile time.
I explain in my reply that I am setting an appropriate value, but the issue remains closed.
I do notice an interesting detail, however, which is that the compiled extension on Ubuntu 18.04 uses RUNPATH (and not RPATH, which is used in Ubuntu 16.04). If PHP-FPM ignores RUNPATH, and looks only for RPATH, it would explain this behavior.
EDIT 2:
This still-open report looks like an excellent candidate for having introduced the observed behavior:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859732
(discovered through comments on use RPATH but not RUNPATH? )
EDIT 3:
On a commenter's advice, I reexamined updating the ld configuration before building the extension and that resolved the issue! I had tried this before, but must have overlooked something between build attempts:
# echo /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2 > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient.conf
# ldconfig
I still don't know why LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't work as it should in this instance, but adding the Instant Client library path to the linker configuration seems a better approach besides.
EDIT 4:
I stated in my previous edit that modifying the ldconfig constitutes a better approach, but came to realize (on a commenter's good advice) that doing so can cause undesirable library conflicts, because the effects are system-wide.
In hindsight, it makes sense to minimize the "collateral damage" from runtime library linkage modifications by limiting them to the execution environment via the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Accordingly, I am motivated to determine why this does not work on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I feel that I have established definitively that the PHP-FPM daemon ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Ubuntu (and has since at least Ubuntu 16.04 LTS; see Comments for explanation).
The ld.so(8) manpage states (in relation to the order in which runtime library paths are searched):
Using the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (unless the executable is being run in secure-execution mode; see below). [sic] in which case it is ignored.
As yet, I cannot think of any other reason for which the path would be ignored. Of secure-execution mode, the same document says:
Secure-execution mode
For security reasons, the effects of some environment variables are voided or modified if the dynamic linker determines that the binary
should be run in secure-execution mode. (For details, see the discussion of individual environment variables below.) A binary is exe‐
cuted in secure-execution mode if the AT_SECURE entry in the auxiliary vector (see getauxval(3)) has a nonzero value. This entry may
have a nonzero value for various reasons, including:
* The process's real and effective user IDs differ, or the real and effective group IDs differ. This typically occurs as a result of
executing a set-user-ID or set-group-ID program.
* A process with a non-root user ID executed a binary that conferred capabilities to the process.
* A nonzero value may have been set by a Linux Security Module.
Firstly, Secure-Execution Mode seems not to be in effect, as the PHP executables don't exhibit this flag (AT_SECURE is 0):
LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /usr/sbin/php-fpm7.1 -daemonize --fpm-config /etc/php/7.1/fpm/php-fpm.conf
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR: 0x7ffc569e1000
AT_HWCAP: 178bfbff
AT_PAGESZ: 4096
AT_CLKTCK: 100
AT_PHDR: 0x55ceab0c4040
AT_PHENT: 56
AT_PHNUM: 9
AT_BASE: 0x7f823c77f000
AT_FLAGS: 0x0
AT_ENTRY: 0x55ceab19e360
AT_UID: 0
AT_EUID: 0
AT_GID: 0
AT_EGID: 0
AT_SECURE: 0
AT_RANDOM: 0x7ffc56962349
AT_HWCAP2: 0x0
AT_EXECFN: /usr/sbin/php-fpm7.1
AT_PLATFORM: x86_64
It occurred to me that the child FPM pool processes might exhibit different AT_SECURE values, but the output is identical for the PHP-FPM daemon itself, as well as any child processes. The parent and the children all have the following values:
# od -t d8 /proc/851/auxv
0000000 33 140722944548864
0000020 16 395049983

0000440 15 140722944193945
0000460 0 0
Secondly, none of these reasons seem to apply, given the following:
1) There is no indication that PHP-FPM or its child processes have real and effective user or group IDs that differ (thanks to https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/202359 for this command):
# ps -e -o user= -o ruser= | awk '$1 != $2'
systemd+ systemd-timesync
systemd+ systemd-resolve
beansta+ beanstalkd
message+ messagebus
daemon root
systemd+ systemd-network
# ps -e -o group= -o rgroup= | awk '$1 != $2'
systemd+ systemd-timesync
systemd+ systemd-resolve
beansta+ beanstalkd
message+ messagebus
daemon root
systemd+ systemd-network
2) The binaries in question do not have any capabilities (the following commands produce no output):
# getcap /usr/lib/php/20170718/oci8.so
# getcap -r /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2/
3) I have ensured that AppArmor is disabled (it doesn't have a policy that should affect PHP-FPM, anyway):
# systemctl disable apparmor
Synchronizing state of apparmor.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable apparmor
# reboot
# aa-status
apparmor module is loaded.
0 profiles are loaded.
0 profiles are in enforce mode.
0 profiles are in complain mode.
0 processes have profiles defined.
0 processes are in enforce mode.
0 processes are in complain mode.
0 processes are unconfined but have a profile defined.
So, why does PHP-FPM ignore LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if not for any of the aforementioned reasons?
EDIT 5 (Solution):
An astute commenter, #vinc17 , points-out that on systems running systemd, environment variables, such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, are not necessarily propagated to processes that are started via a systemd Unit.
In other words, PHP-FPM isn't "ignoring" LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but rather, it is not being conveyed to the process. And attempts to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH within the PHP-FPM configuration are futile, because it's too late to do anything useful with the value.
On this advice, it occurred to me to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the systemd context, namely, in the Unit file(s) that start the PHP-FPM daemon(s), in which case PHP-FPM loads the OCI8 extension successfully.
Needless to say, we want to avoid editing the package maintainer's file (to avoid conflicts during future upgrades), so we extend it instead:
# mkdir /etc/systemd/system/php7.1-fpm.service.d
# touch /etc/systemd/system/php7.1-fpm.service.d/environment.conf
To this file we add the following:
[Service]
Environment=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2
And to make the change effective:
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart php7.1-fpm
For a more complete example, which addresses multiple co-installed PHP versions, please see my post at https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/865#issuecomment-395441936 .
First, Debian bug 859732 is a completely different issue (I would even say an opposite issue): for this bug, several versions of the library are present in the search path (one in some directory specified by LD_LIBRARY_PATH and a different one in some directory specified by the run path), but the wrong one is chosen by the dynamic linker.
In your case, the problem is that the requested library is not found anywhere in the search path. Note also that in your case, it is PHP that seems to try to open the library (via dlopen?), since the message starts with "PHP Warning:". However, it seems that the mechanisms are the same as with usual dynamic linking.
After installing the library, what you need is at least one of:
Nothing special if the library has been installed in a directory that is searched by default. Since you get an error, this is not your case.
Providing the directory in a run path, which must be specified at compile time of the software that will need the library. The problem is that under Linux, this is not done in standard by the build tools, and it may be complex to do it right without breaking other things. However, in the context of dlopen, the software (here, PHP) may have set up what one can call a "plugin search path", where you can put your libraries.
Providing the directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is what you tried, but your LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems incorrect. Libraries are usually installed in subdirectories named lib (or lib32 or lib64 in specific cases). So, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2 seems wrong. Search for the full pathname of the library oci8.so, and just take the directory part of this pathname for LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Note: strace may be useful to see what directories are considered to search for the libraries. EDIT: ldd and objdump -p are other useful tools to find what's going on with the search paths.
EDIT 2: Another point to note when choosing to use a run path is that indirect library dependencies are found when RPATH is used, but not when RUNPATH is used (so, in this latter case, all dependencies also need to have a run path if they depend on other libraries so that all libraries can be found without resorting to LD_LIBRARY_PATH). This is documented in recent versions of the ld.so(8) man page:
Using the directories specified in the DT_RUNPATH dynamic section attribute of the binary if present. Such directories are searched only to find those objects required by DT_NEEDED (direct dependencies) entries and do not apply to those objects' children, which must themselves have their own DT_RUNPATH entries. This is unlike DT_RPATH, which is applied to searches for all children in the dependency tree.
This is probably why, without using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, this was working with 16.04 (where RPATH is used) but not with 18.04 (where RUNPATH is used).

Xdebug Problems with Eclipse PHP/PDT

I am having some difficulty using PHP Xdebug with the PHP's internal server provided by later releases of Eclipse. I am running Eclipse for PHP Developers Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a). Interestingly enough Xdebug is working quite well with Apache 2, but not the internal PHP server.
Note that the PHP internal server is running. I can use ‘Run As – 1Run on Server’ to run a phpinfo PHP script and a helloworld PHP script. In these cases, the PHP internal server is started with the expected operands. The Linux ps command returns:
/usr/bin/php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t /home/peter/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/htdocs
Note that port 8000 is used to start the internal PHP server (correctly as best I can tell) and no –n operand is specified. This causes the /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini file to be processed (correctly as best I can tell).
Note that port 80 was originally used to run this server. Of course, port 80 is restricted to root applications. The change to port 8000 was required to get the internal PHP server to start at all.
Also note that checking ‘Use system default php.ini configuration’ and clearing the PHP ini file (optional) field in the PHP Executable preferences was required to get rid of the –n operand.
Also note that I am having some difficulty switching between ‘Run As’ and ‘Debug As’. In some cases I get a message showing that the required port (8000) is already in use. However, I have not found a way to reproduce this problem so far.
Using the procedures described above, the debug internal PHP server was started without the –n operand and is processing the php.cli file. The Linux ps command returns:
/usr/bin/php -S 127.0.0.1:17278 -t /home/peter/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/htdocs
One question is why port 17278 was specified, rather then the expected port (8000). Running phpinfo() shows that Xdebug appears to be installed in the debug internal web server. A few settings include:
xdebug support – enabled
IDE Key – peter (my userid on this machine)
DBGp – Common DeBuGger Protocol - $Revision: 1.145 $
xdebug.remote.enable – on
xdebug.remote.port – 9000
I tried to debug helloworld.php. The console has the following two messages. The first shows a 404 code. The second shows a 200 code:
[Sun Apr 22 17:36:20 2018] 127.0.0.1:50358 [404]: /?start_debug=1&debug_fastfile=1&use_remote=1&ZRayDisable=1&send_sess_end=1
&debug_session_id=1003&debug_start_session=1&debug_port=10137 - No such file or directory
[Sun Apr 22 17:36:20 2018] 127.0.0.1:50362 [200]: /Server-docroou/helloworld.php?start_debug=1&debug_fastfile=1&use_remote=1&ZRayDisable=1&send_sess_end=1
&debug_session_id=1003&debug_start_session=1&debug_port=10137
Note that the debug port is specified as 10137. Perhaps this is causing the problem. Port 10137 is normally used by the Zend Debugger which I am not using.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

apache - additional mysql-installation without root

got some space at an intern SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) for the apache-webserver (apache 2.2.29, php 5.4.40) of our department.
Our php is built with Oracle, not MySQL. I wanna install MySQL additionally but due to our very strict guidelines I only have permissions to write in my "/usd/[user]"-directory, not "/var/lib" etc. so there is no possibility to run the command "rpm -i MySQL-server-5.6.25-1.sles11.x86_64.rpm" or sth like that.
user:/usd/as07100a/soft> rpm -i MySQL-server*
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
user:/usd/as07100a/soft> touch /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/rpm/__db.000': Permission denied
Is there any known option I can install MySQL with my restricted permissions (e. g. kinda portable version)?
It seems that this is possible:
Install MySql without root access
Also see this post for additional configuration information: Mysql - specify socket location
You will also likely need to change the port number in your configuration since OracleSQL is probably running on that port already. You can use netstat to see if any other program is listening on 3306.
netstat -ntl

Drush command(s) run on Drupal 6 sites, but not Drupal 7?

I am running into an issue with a customer's Drupal sites. He has a number of D6 installs, and a new D7 that he's just starting on. All of these sites are on the same shared hosting package.
The problem is when running certain drush commands only on the D7 site. There are no issues on the D6 sites. The specific error for drush up on the D7 site follows:
foo#bar [~/www/foo]# drush up
Command pm-update needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush [error]
from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command.
Command pm-update needs the following modules installed/enabled to run: update. [error]
The drush command 'up' could not be executed. [error]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:
* bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a configured database. In
this case you can select another site with a working database setup by specifying the URI
to use with the --uri parameter on the command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for
details.
* connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be wrong or the php-cli may
have no access to it in a jailed shell. See http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.
Drush was attempting to connect to:
Drupal version : 7.28
Site URI : http://default
Database driver : mysql
Database username : username_foo
Database name : database_foo
PHP configuration :
PHP OS : Linux
Drush version : 7.0-dev
Drush temp directory : /tmp
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files :
Drupal root : /home/foo/www/foo
Site path : sites/default
Everything I can find (and indeed the link in the error message) say the solution is to change the host value in the settings.php file from localhost to 127.0.0.1. However, this has not been the solution for us.
The frontend site has no problems connecting to the database, and drush itself seemingly does in many cases too.
drush sql-connect will generate a string that you can use to connect to MySQL.
drush sql-cli will successfully connect to MySQL
The settings.php file is definitely in a folder called default (path: www/foo/sites/default) and I get the exact same error when specifying --root and --uri options.
Drush was originally a ~5.x release, and it had the same issues. We updated to the ~7.x to try to eliminate the error. The host value in settings.php has been localhost as well as 127.0.0.1 with equally poor results.
We've verified that MySQL is available via socket from the PHP CLI. Drush is up to date and a fresh install. The Drupal 7 site is a brand new fresh install.
I'm at a loss. Why would this work with the D6 sites, but not the D7? Any suggestions?
Is your settings.php file in a folder called 'default'? If not, you might need to tell Drush where to find it by using --uri=mysite.com or -l mysite.com.
There are several ways to specify which Drupal site Drush will target. The most basic option is fairly verbose; run:
$ drush --root=/path/to/drupal --uri=http://example.com status
You can do the same thing with a slightly different syntax:
$ drush /path/to/drupal#example.com status
You can also specify the Drupal site implicitly, by setting the cwd to the folder that contains the settings.php file for your site:
cd /path/to/drupal/sites/default # or /path/to/drupal/sites/mysite.com, as appropriate
$ drush status
In all of the cases above, if settings.php is in a folder called "default", then you do not need to specify the --uri component; you may, for example, cd /path/to/drupal followed by drush status, and the correct Drupal site will be found. If settings.php is not in a folder named 'default', then you will need to either specify --uri, or cd to the folder that contains the settings.php file.
Source
According to this message:
pm-update needs the following modules installed/enabled to run: update
Drush requires Update module to be enabled, so the following command should fix the problem:
drush -y en update
