  • 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.

Change default CFIDE IIS Virtual Directory for new sites

Brian H

New Pleskian
Hi there.

I have coldfusion running fine with plesk 8.3, and whenever I create a new domain, it creates virtual directory inside of IIS for /CFIDE -> c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide.

Now, I want this /CFIDE mapping to go to a different location since I am securing my CFIDE. I am going to create a new folder . c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide_pub, and I want plesk to create the default /CFIDE mapping for every new site to point to this new location. I can easily change the existing virtual directory locations in IIS, but I want to configure plesk to use this new CFIDE path automatically for all new sites creates so that I don't have to manually fix it every time I add a new site.

So far I have been unable to find the configuration parameter in plesk to check this. Any idea? The CF administrator will still exist in the old c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide, but no one will have access to it except for an IIS site that I will create manually in IIS.

This is operating under the expectation that Plesk contains a setting somewhere to store this path. It is possbile that plesk is accessing the neo-runtime.xml in the coldfusion/lib directory to pull up this mapping, but I doubt it.
