APF will block unused outgoing and incoming ports. It can also be configured to use information from some block lists. The below port list will work for cPanel. For the other control panels you will need to add in the administration ports.

Automatic way to fix RPM installations
Automatic way to fix RPM installations :
If you are installing rpm which is having many dependancies then you can do it with the up2date utility. It will automatically install all the dependencies for rpm package that is installed. If you have access to Red Hat Network (RHN) you can use the command up2date to update and it will download & install RPM packages.
>>> up2date
It will connect to RHN (Red hat network), automatically download, and install the package.(Only for Registered channel). If there are dependencies or another RPM packages, they will be automatically get downloaded and installed as well.
For example:
# up2date smbfs-2.0.1-4 [programs to access SMB network servers]
The up2date command will automatically resolve, fetch and install any package dependencies for the package to be installed.
Also up2date command will download and install latest version of that package.

Change to the ffmpeg-php extension directory and run phpize (included with your PHP installation) to build configuration files.
1. cd ffmpeg-php
2. phpize
Configure and build the extension.
1. ./configure && make
Install the shared extension.
1. make install (as root)
If everything went as planned, ffmpeg-php is now installed as a shared extension

500 internal server error
Just a quick note about "Internal Server Error" problems after upgrading Apache on these Plesk machines.
You may start getting the "500 Internal Server Error" errors after doing so, and that is because the upgraded Apache has overwritten the Plesk version of "suexec", a handy little program that allows the webserver to run CGI-BIN programs.
However, you are in luck! Plesk keeps a copy of their modified version of "suexec" around on the box.
How-To restore suexec:
1. log in as the 'root' user on yer box.
2. cd /usr/sbin
3. mv suexec suexec.old (or whatever you want to call it)
4. cp psa-suexec suexec
Technical Jazz:
The problem is that Apache's stock version of suexec doesn't allow (for safety reasons) cgi-bin programs to be execute from any but underneath the MAIN Apache document root. Which, in the case of these Plesk servers is /var/www... since all the virtually hosted addresses live under /home/httpd/vhosts..., the stock Apache suexec doesn't allow that. Modifying suexec is something of a hobby in the unix web administration world, so this isn't entirely odd.
BTW, you can also check the /var/log/suexec.log to see what is being suexec'ed, and what errors are happening. The error you'll see in this case is "command not in docroot".
You may start getting the "500 Internal Server Error" errors after doing so, and that is because the upgraded Apache has overwritten the Plesk version of "suexec", a handy little program that allows the webserver to run CGI-BIN programs.
However, you are in luck! Plesk keeps a copy of their modified version of "suexec" around on the box.
How-To restore suexec:
1. log in as the 'root' user on yer box.
2. cd /usr/sbin
3. mv suexec suexec.old (or whatever you want to call it)
4. cp psa-suexec suexec

How to rename the Domain Name
You can rename the domain name in Plesk using the following steps:
1) go to MySql prompt.
2) give following commands:
use psa;
Under this database there is a table called "domains" in which all the domain name are present under the field "display Name", all you have to do is update the record of the domain in issue to the new one.
The update query for MySql will be as follows:
UPDATE domains SET display Name='New Domain Name' WHERE age='old Domain name';
After this query check the domain in Plesk and it will be renamed.
Alternative Solution :
Here is the solution.
Go to control panel.
click on domain name.
