PHP handler is displayed as corrupted after it was removed

Symptoms

• After PHP handler is uninstalled it is still displayed as corrupt in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings:

  

• There are websites, assigned to this handler even though it is removed:

  # plesk db -Ne "select d.name from hosting h right join domains d on d.id=h.dom_id where h.php_handler_id like 'plesk-php72%';"
  example.com plesk-php72-fpm
  example2.com plesk-php72-fpm

• Website, assigned to the removed handler, do not have PHP Settings button in Domains > example.com:

  

Cause

A bug is registered with ID #PPPM-7677. It will be fixed in the future updates.

Resolution

Until the fix is released, a workaround can be applied:

1. Connect to the server via SSH/RDP;

2. Reinstall the removed PHP version using Plesk installer:

   # plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component php7.2

3. Switch domains that make use of this handler to a different one, for example, PHP 7.1.12, by running the query:

   # for i in $(plesk db -Ne "SELECT d.name FROM hosting h RIGHT JOIN domains d ON d.id=h.dom_id WHERE h.php_handler_id LIKE 'plesk-php72%';"); do plesk bin site -u $i -php_handler_id plesk-php71-fpm; done

   Note: As a result, all domains, using removed PHP 7.2 will be switched to PHP 7.1 FPM. This behavior might be changed by modification of highlighted entries to a different handler ID.

4. Make sure that there is no removed PHP version in Service Plans->PHP settings as well.

5. Remove the PHP handler using Plesk installer:

   # plesk installer --select-release-current --remove-component php7.2
