Plesk : How to pointing domain to a subdirectory

UpDeL — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:24:30 +0000

First create your “subdirectory_name” then run terminal and edit httpd.include (vi, pico …):

pico /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include

Change every “/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs”
To “/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/subdirectory_name”

Restart apache :

service httpd restart

This trick can be used to configure another domain to be pointing in another domaine : exemple

Change every “/var/www/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs”
To “/var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs“

Creating additional FTP user in Plesk

This is the easy way to add an additional FTP user under Plesk,
but this tip need root privileges.

1 – Login to plesk
2 – Click on domain name
3 – Click on Webusers then add a new webuser.

In my case I’ve created new user called : user2

4 – Now run putty or whatever you use to connect via SSH and login as ROOT
5 – Edit /etc/passwd with your favorite editor (GNU nano)

pico /etc/passwd

5 – Find your first FTP user (default FTP user)

6 – Go to user2 line and change UID value by “default FTP user UID”
7 – Change “absolute path for the new user” too.

8 – Save modification. (CTRL+X then Y for putty users)
9 – Done… try login with your new user.
