Restore Plesk default skel files

Hi,

For one reason or another unknown to myself, the directory /var/www/vhosts/.skel has vanished from my server meaning whenever I attempt to create a new domain I get the following error:

Code:
Error: Unable to update hosting preferences: hosting update is failed: object ID is invalid

When I took a look at the log file "/usr/local/psq/admin/logs/httpsd_error_log" I found the error:

Code:
Unexpected error: Skeleton directory '/var/www/vhosts/.skel/0' does not exist

Further inspection shows the complete ./skel directory is missing.

Can anyone inform me how to go about restoring the ./skel directory please?

Kind Regards,
 
Just create this missing directory with content as it is described here, for example.
