Site preview settings - Can anyone help?

[missionaryman]

Hi,

I'm trying to view my sites using the "Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk" setting. I notice that it modifies that domain's DNS records to include the IP with dashes, however when I attempt to preview any of the sites hosted, I get "server not found" from my browser. The URL is the correct syntax, but cannot seem to access the site.

I've tried turning DNS off and on for each hosted site, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.

Can anyone offer any help or advice?

Thanks,

MM

I think this problem is addressed in the following KB - http://kb.odin.com/en/120703

Thanks for your reply, however it doesn't solve my problem.

I had already found that KB article, and checked that all the settings were correct, and still my site preview function continues to return "Server not found".

But are you really sure that base domain is resolvable?

I can ping my site: vpsxxxx.ovh.net
I can ping my testsite: testsite.com.xx-xx-xx-xx.vpsxxxx.ovh.net

But when I go to view my testsite (which was created from the Parallels default site creator and contains the standard index.html file) I get "Server not found".

Be sure that port 80 is not firewalled. What do you see if you go to http://vpsxxxx.ovh.net ?
