Question

How to configure Apache to process PHP code inside a .html file?

Answer

  1. Log into Plesk as admin user.

  2. Adjust PHP-FPM configuration for the domain:

    • For Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update 32 and newer.

      • Go to Domains > example.com > PHP Settings and add the following lines into the field Additional configuration directives:

        CONFIG_TEXT: [php-fpm-pool-settings]
        security.limit_extensions = .php .phar .html .inc

      • Click OK to save the changes.

    • For Plesk versions earlier than Onyx 17.5.3 Update 32.

      • Connect to the server using SSH.

      • Create the file /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf/php.ini.

      • Open the created file in a text editor and add the following lines:

        CONFIG_TEXT: [php-fpm-pool-settings]
        security.limit_extensions = .php .phar .html .inc

      • In Plesk, go to Domains > example.com > PHP Settings and click OK to update PHP-FPM pool settings.

  3. Go to Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx settings and add the following lines into the fields Additional directives for HTTP and Additional directives for HTTPS:

    For PHP running as an Apache module:

    CONFIG_TEXT: <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
    AddHandler php5-script .php .html .htm
    AddType text/html .php .html .htm
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>

    For PHP handler set as CGI:

    CONFIG_TEXT: <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
    <Files ~ \.(htm|html)$>
    SetHandler None
    AddHandler php-script .html .htm
    Options +ExecCGI
    allow from all
    </Files>
    </Directory>

    For PHP handler set as FastCGI:

    CONFIG_TEXT: <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
    <Files ~ \.(htm|html)$>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
    FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .htm
    FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
    Options +ExecCGI
    allow from all
    </Files>
    </Directory>

    For PHP handler set as FPM:

    CONFIG_TEXT: <IfModule mod_proxy_fcgi.c>
    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
    <Files ~ .(?i:inc|html|htm)$>
    SetHandler proxy:unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
    </Files>
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>

If a change is required on a global scale, then the virtual host configuration templates can be adjusted and the sections above put into web server configuration files automatically. For more information, check KB article #213413649.

Note: If short_open_tag is used in the code, enable it at example.com > PHP Settings > Common Settings > short_open_tag

Note: Full path has to be provided inside <Directory> tag. If the location of your files is differ, adjust it accordingly. Or remove strings with <Directory> </Directory> tags.

    on Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.52 Update #3, nginx (proxy mode) + apache

    configured as above:

    in PHP settings

    [php-fpm-pool-settings]
    security.limit_extensions = .php .phar .html .inc

    in additional apache settings:

    <IfModule mod_proxy_fcgi.c>
        <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*******.net/httpdocs/*******.net>
        <Files ~ .(inc|html|htm)$>
            SetHandler proxy:unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/*******.net/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
        </Files>
        </Directory>
    </IfModule>

    recieving "access denied" in browser.

    If "Sethandler ..." is commented out - page is loaded, but PHP not parsed.

    i have found what was the problem - it was my mistake: i have configured a subdomain, PHP settings

    [php-fpm-pool-settings]
    security.limit_extensions = .php .phar .html .inc

    but path for socket-file php-fpm.sock was from main domain

    SetHandler "proxy:unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/*******.net/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
