Applicable to:
- Plesk for Linux
Symptoms
-
The Apache service fails to start or the command "plesk repair web" fails to complete:
CONFIG_TEXT: server.example.com httpd[13145]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 2 of /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf/vhost.conf:
server.example.com httpd[13145]: Invalid command 'php_admin_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration -
The same error message is shown on the Home page in Plesk.
- The domain mentioned in the error message (in this example, example.com) has been migrated from a server with
mod_php5
enabled.
Cause
Apache module mod_php5
is outdated and is disabled for security reasons.
Note: The issue may appear for different mod_php5
modules such as php_flag
or php_admin_flag
.
Resolution
-
Connect to the Plesk via SSH.
-
Open the file
vhost_ssl.conf
that appears in the error message in a text editor. In this example, we are using the vi editor:# vi /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf/vhost_ssl.conf
-
Comment out the string with
php_admin_value
directive by placing a # (hash) character at the beginning of each line:CONFIG_TEXT: #<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
#php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/httpd/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs:/tmp"
#</Directory> -
Save the changes and close the file.
-
Repair web-server configuration using the command:
# plesk repair web -y
