Disable PHP Mail in Plesk

Disable PHP Mail in Plesk

by | Jun 16, 2021 | Guide

Several times I get emails from my own domain which is actually not registered, it can also be called a spoof email. Finally I found a solution for this problem, namely by disabling the mail function in the PHP configuration.

Here’s the guide :

Login to Plesk, click Subscriptions – domain name – PHP Settings and scroll down to the Additional configuration directives field, fill it with disable_functions = mail, then click OK.

I also disabled the Sendmail function (applicable in its entirety) :

Login to Plesk, click Tools & Settings – Mail Server Settings – Disable the Allow user and scripts to use Sendmail option and then click OK.

Or if you only want the type of service (Service Plans):

Login to Plesk, click Service Plans – service type name – Mail – Disable the Allow using Sendmail for scripts and users on this subscription option and then click Update & Sync.

Or if you only want the subscription type (Subscription):

Login to Plesk, click Service Plans – Subscriptions – select a domain name – Outgoing Mail Control – Subscription – Change Limit – Disable the Allow using Sendmail for scripts and users on this subscription option and then click OK.

After a few days the email did not appear again. Thank you.

For those who want to see website statistics, it may be familiar with AWStats, an open source Web analytics reporting application, suitable for analyzing data from Internet services such as the web, streaming media, mail, and FTP servers.

Here’s how to see AWStats in Plesk.

  1. Login to the Plesk account and select Statistics.
  2. There are 3 choices for viewing traffic, namely FTP, Data and Web. For FTP, I ignore this.

  1. Data Transfer Statistics are used to view monthly reports. Click Data Transfer Statistics and select View on the domain whose statistics you want to see.

  1. Select Statistics again, then Web Statistics SSL / TLS and select View on the domain whose statistics you want to see.

  1. If the display appears as follows and you do not know the login, you will not be able to see the report.

  1. To deactivate the login, click Websites & Domains and select Hosting Settings.

  1. Uncheck the Web Statistics (Protect access to your web statistics with your FTP username and password) then click OK. This method also applies if you choose Webalizer.

  1. Return to step 4 then try again, it should have appeared without having to log in first.

  1. I suggest still to give a password, because anyone will be able to see the page if you know the link. To provide a password, click Websites & Domains and select FTP Access.

  1. Select the user you want to add or change the password for, then click OK. Please try again and the login window should appear like step 5.

Good luck, thank you.

  2. Change post_max_size and upload_max_filesize to the desired size and click OK.

Before

After

  1. Try uploading the file again in WordPress.

Note: if the upload_max_filesize size is bigger than post_max_size, then WordPress will still follow the post_max_size size, in this case I changed both to 16MB.

You can see the upload file size limit by visiting the Media – Add New page, here are the before and after results.

Please try and good luck, thank you.

 

Masking Domain in Plesk

Masking Domain in Plesk

by | Apr 3, 2020 | Guide

I have 2 domains, say domain A already has a website and domain B is just a domain. I want when typing domain B in the browser, it will lead to domain A but the address bar in the browser still says domain B.

Oh yes, please pay attention to the paragraph above, because it is almost similar to domain forwarding, but what I will do here is masking the domain. The different is :

Domain forwarding : URL and display according to the redirected domain.

Domain masking : Fixed URL, the display will change according to the redirected domain.

I’ve used cPanel before, but it seems that the method is more difficult compared to the Plesk I’m currently using, but cPanel has the advantage that it doesn’t delete content from the domain you want to redirect to, in Plesk the entire domain content will be deleted.

Here’s the configuration in Plesk :

  1. Login to Plesk then click Domains – the domain name you want to redirect to – Hosting Settings.

  1. In Hosting type, click Change and select Forwarding and in Forwarding type select Frame forwarding then click OK.

  1. Plesk will give a warning about the forwarding, click Yes.

  1. Please try typing domain B in the address bar and make sure the contents of website A appear.

Good luck and thank you.
