  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Can I change default http_root (httpdocs) in Plesk For windows?

Can I change default http_root (httpdocs) in Plesk For windows?

My problem is this.

My application is written so that it requires installation into a folder d:\www_apps\exampledomain.com\ (starting point of a very complex application)

This far everything is ok… I’ve changed Virtualhosts location using Plesk configurator and new domain appears in d:\www_apps\ -directory as it should. (d:\www_apps\exampledomain.com\)

How ewer iis is pointig in to d:\www_apps\exampledomain.com\httpdocs\ which is not what I want.

I should be able to configure plesk so that when creating a new domain iis is pointing in to d:\www_apps\exampledomain.com\ and default.htm is in that directory not in subdirectory \httpdocs

Is that possible?

This can be done with Plesk Reconfigurator:

Start > all programs > SWSoft > Plesk > Plesk Reconfigurator > Change Virtual Host Location.
 
No it can not.

It changes virtual hosts root location, but thet is not the problem.

Problem is virtual hosts directory structure.

If I change virtual hosts location I get this:

d:\www_apps\vhost1.com\.. directory structure of vhost
d:\www_apps\vhost2.com
…
So Plesk creates like this:

d:\www_apps\vhost2.com\httpdocs\default.asp

What I need is to be able to locate vhost2.com:s default.asp and applications startingpoint like this:

d:\www_apps\vhost2.com\default.asp

What I’m trying to say that I don’t need (can not use) that extra directory structure under vhost’s root.

It is not possible , this is Plesk design, to create domain folder (security boundary) - then subfolders
