• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Question Plesk & Virtualbox

Caz

New Pleskian
Hi all,

I'm trying to replicate our live website environment that uses Plesk. I'm having trouble getting it setup.

I have successfully installed Plesk Obsidian on Ubuntu 16.04 inside my VM using NAT networking from the following link: Index of /iso

I have Plesk working and I can access it outside the VM using http://localhost/, but now I'm unsure how to setup our website.

I created a new domain in Plesk called: testsaw.co.uk and it assigned the following IP to it: 10.0.2.15 - using the 'Preview' link within Plesk does nothing [it times out] and generates this URL: http://10.0.2.15/plesk-site-preview/testsaw.co.uk/https/10.0.2.15/

I'm rather new to this and wondering how I connect to the website? I've done countless searches through various engines and I'm at a roadblock.

The following ports are open and I'm not sure if these are setup properly too.

Apologies for double post, but I can't see an edit button. I think I might have found the solution, but I won't know until the website is fully working.

In my Windows 10 hosts file [system32/drivers] I had the wrong IP set. For my website, it should look like:

127.0.0.1 testkidsaw.co.uk

This has at least allowed me to view the phpinfo.php file I uploaded to my httpdocs, I couldn't even get this to work before, so fingers crossed.

The website I'm trying to get live is Magento 2 Open Source. I'll update again, If I manage to get the website fully working.
