Question php script to create websites

[thomasvestergaard]

Hello

I use plesks 10.4.4 and would like to know if i can create websites with a php script?

Today i create them manually but the amount of sites i create is getting more and more and would like to automate the process.

I know nothing of plesks api so any help is appreciated

Regards
Thomas

You need to use Plesk XML API RPC for automation. More details you can find here

2. How do i enable "Microsoft ASP support "
3. How do i enable "Custom error documents "

function addNewSite()
{
$xmldoc = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$xmldoc->formatOutput = true;

// <packet>
$packet = $xmldoc->createElement('packet');
$packet->setAttribute('version', '1.6.3.0');
$xmldoc->appendChild($packet);

// <packet/site>
$site = $xmldoc->createElement('site');
$packet->appendChild($site);

// <packet/domain/add>
$add = $xmldoc->createElement('add');
$domain->appendChild($add);

// <packet/domain/get/gen_setup>
$gen_setupTmp = $xmldoc->createElement('gen_setup');
$get->appendChild($gen_setupTmp);

// dataset elements
$gen_setupTmp->appendChild($xmldoc->createElement('name'));
$gen_setupTmp->appendChild($xmldoc->createElement('webspace-id'));



return $xmldoc;
}

And what about these,

• webspace-name, required
  It defines the name of a subscription to which the Panel will assign a new site. Data type: string.
  
  
• webspace-id, required
  It defines the ID of a subscription to which the Panel will assign a new site. Data type: string.
  
  
• webspace-guid, required
  It defines the GUID of a subscription to which the Panel will assign a new site. Data type: string

Sorry, I'm not PHP developer. I have given you all available documentation and direction. Then you, as a PHP developer, can sort it out by yourself, I think.
