How to change the websites default root path?

[thurft]

I would like to change the default root path of all websites that a created by Plesk.
I have searched in the UI but I cant find anywhere how to specify a different partition/directory.
I am using Linux/Ubuntu

Basically what I want is that all sites that are created when I migrate a lot of sites are placed in a partition drive and not in the main drive. Therefore i need to change the default location of all new created websites. But also with that change it needs to reflect the FTP path

How could i do this?

You shouldn't be doing this ...(Changing the default plesk root path, /var/www/vhosts/ could be the genesis of endless problems on your server). However, if you mean changing the partition on which plesk is installed, then you can do that easily before installation of plesk (by installing it on a different or respective partition)

So when installing Plesk I can install it on any partition I want? how could i do that?

Plesk has a CLI command for changing the default websites Path:

/transvhosts.pl
You should specify destination directory.
Utility to transfer vhosts content from HTTPD_VHOSTS_D directory to new place.

Abdi this command is obsolete now?

But how do i do it before the installation? I am using this http://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer to install plesk and at no point it ask me to specify a location for plesk

It's not obsolete yet! But changing it could cause a lot of 'uncalled or UN-necessary' problems in the future ..Much of the documentation also is based on the default /var/www/vhosts ...and a lot of more you could not notice on first site ...

It's OK if it's a single host or test server but if you are hosting 10s of clients on it, then not recommended!

I've just checked that link but it doesnt say how to change the directory if I wanted it to go to /vol1/*
How could I do that?
