Change DocumentRoot folder in Apache with Plesk
|
Access your server with your favorite ssh, for example Putty.
Open your domain home directory and locate 'conf' folder. Enter inside and create one 'vhost.conf' file.
Open your domain home directory and locate 'conf' folder. Enter inside and create one 'vhost.conf' file.
#touch vhost.confwhen the file is created edit it with text editor to add the DocimentRoot line as it is shown bellow.
#Here are some examples.
# FreeBSD with Plesk 8.0.1
DocumentRoot /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/yourdomainname.tld/httpdocs/new_DocumentRoot_folder
#FreeBSD with Plesk 8.1
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/vhosts/yourdomainname.tld/httpdocs/new_DocumentRoot_folder
#Fedora Plesk 8.1
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/yourdomainname.tld/httpdocs/folder/new_DocumentRoot_folder
When you are ready and you have this vhost.conf file created you must include it into the httpd.include file inside the Virtual Host section.
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.0:80>
....
Include %vhosts_DIR%/yourdomain.tld/conf/vhost.conf
</VirtualHost>
When you are ready restart the Apache from the Plesk Control Panel or command line in order the change will take effect.
Note: The same can be done for SSL connection, but this time the file must be called vhost._ssl.conf and to be included into the https section in 'httpd.iclude'

Well you can change permission vi ftp just out of the box. How to do it generally depends on the ftp client you use but in the command line the command for that is is chmod.

In the new Parallels (new Plesk's name) this is very modern, specially when your ISP is not allowing CGI Apache mode.
