What is "Plesk Web Server"?

And why do I need it?

I could find no information answering those questions...

Hi tristans,

Plesk uses it's very own webserver ( sw-cp-server ) for its Plesk Control Panel. You need this specific webserver to control your server and its settings, when you installed Plesk.

oh, ok, thanks. i wish this was clearly explained somewhere. If sw-cp-server is not running or down, is it still possible to log-in on virtuozzo to restart this service?

Hi tristans,

just use the command

service sw-cp-server restart
or
/etc/init.d/sw-cp-server restart​

over the command line, to restart this service.
