  • Database backup suggestion

    Good evening



    As stated by kess and DrCarsonBeckett an SQL dump created by i-MSCP backup script includes the database name, as expected by the restore feature which you can trigger from the UI. Such a dump is not attended to be restored manually. If you're doing so, it is your responsability to make sure the dump will not collides with another database which could lead, as in your case, to data loss.


    From the current restore feature implementation, we cannot infer the database names. What we are doing is just to restore a given SQL dump which include all required informations.


    Make possible to restore a dump under a specific database name, given either through the UI or on CLI is a feature. You're free to create a feature request on our bug tracker ;)


    Quote from DrCarsonBeckett

    Nuxwin did what he did, because the backup and restore function should simply restore files and databases as like nothing happened. If the database as an example is currupted and the person doesnt know to how to fix it, he/she simply restores the backup and everything works again. Just one or two clicks.

    That's correct ;)

  • как купит платный плагин?

    понятно, разъяснили.

    Честно говоря я использую вашу панель для управления своими некоммерческими сайтами. все сделаны на wordpress. и wordpress мне пишет, что php устарел.

    Я не специалист в linux и не нашла инструкции, как настроить панель на использование php 7.3 для всех сайтов панели. Сам php 7.3 и необходимые расширения установлены в системе.

    Поэтому $32 для меня дороговато.

    Готова, заплатить $3.2 за скрипт/плагин который делал одно - "включить последний php для всех сайтов панели!"

    The PhpSwtciher plugin is not just a little script that activate PHP for all sites. It provides a PHP compiler. For each PHP version, we need maintain patches. You don't imagine the time needed to maintain it... But that ok for me if you don't want purchase it.


    PHP 7.3 will be the default PHP version in next i-MSCP release. So either you purchase the plugin, either your are patient.


    BTW: The current version of the PhpSwitcher plugin only support PHP 5.3 up to PHP 7.1. Next version which is planned for end of week will support PHP 5.3 up to PHP 7.4 (beta).

    нужен плагин по управлению php, он лежит в категории платных.

    но нормальной инструкции как купить и сколько стоит нет :(

    где узнать цену плагинов и как их приобрести?

    See https://i-mscp.net/wcf/paid-subscription-list/


    Once you have purchased the plugin, you can download it through our plugin store.

  • Couldn't compile PHP 7.1: configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.

    Hello, Ihas put patch to it path. I got error.

    What's this problem?


    As stated in my answer, if the patch don't apply, you need refresh it but because I'm pretty sure you don't know how, I'll do that for you and give you the patch for PHP 7.1 ;) Give me 10 minutes please.

    As I can see you installed libxml2-dev from sury.org repository.

    This version doesn't contain xml2-config. You should perhaps try to pin the original debian package

    Well, in fact, this worked before, but Sury dropped xml2-config in last package version ;) I've forwarded a patch to Sury lately for use of pkg-config in place of xml2-config for detection of libxml2 in PHP 5.6.40. See

    This patch should be ported to PHP 7.1. You can always just put the patch in the /var/www/imscp/gui/plugin/PhpSwitcher/PhpCompiler/php7.1/patches directory and add it to the list of patches to apply, in the /var/www/imscp/gui/plugin/PhpSwitcher/PhpCompiler/php7.1/patches/series file. If the patch don't apply, you'll have to refresh it for PHP 7.1 ...


    Another solution is APT pinning (on the libxml2-dev package provided by Debian repository) in the time being as advised by kess..


    Anyway, the issue will be fixed in next PhpSwitcher plugin version.
