Thanks InderS, I have tried that with Navicat, can't get a connection, I have sent a support ticket to the Hosting Company Support Team to find out if Port 8306 is available or open as normally we would use 3306 for MySQL Databases. Demon

Thanks, it's appreciated... I have asked PLESK before to just simply have ALL the configuration options on one page so we can scroll down and select what part we want to configure - why they have to hide everything in links, little minute tabs etc. is beyond me LOL

Hi Peter, don't ya just hate that, just found the small text 'show more options' and it is under that - thank you!!!

Hi Peter, Thanks for that, I found the 'custom' install option however it still does NOT permit you to create a 'custom' database name, it still uses the insecure default of wordpress_1, wordpress_2 etc....

Peter... can you explain how to create a wordpress installation via 'user defined' as I can find no such option - just install wordpress..!!!!

Wordpress InderS - Yes, I know I can do it manually that way but once again with all the 'controls' you have made to PLESK, this creates a weakness in that everyone knows the format and it makes it one step easier for hackers....!!! Surely we need to be able to create a WordPress...

Alexey, thank you for confirming an A record is better than a CNAME record. In relation to the 301 Redirect and the way Parallels have hidden it away, this is what a large hosting company level 1 support technician wrote. "I agree the redirection setting is not great user interface design...

Ha ha, that's funny, because in PLESK PANEL 8, 9, & 10 I used the following; ftp.<domain> CNAME www.<domain> remote<domain> CNAME mail.<domain> <ip>/24 PTR <domain> <domain> A <ip> mail.<domain> A <ip> www.<domain> A <ip> plus a few other custom settings for services.... Guys, come on, I...

Because Igor, it is even more confusing than the option I am using... I come back to the following points. 1. Why keep changing the layout, unless you are 'simplifying' the layout, then leave the damn thing alone, just because you upgrade the software to fix bugs/add/remove features etc, does...

Then why does your default template attempt to create a CNAME as follows; <www.domain> CNAME <domain> The real issue here as I have now seen is that you are doing a permanent 301 redirect - for what purpose? The INDUSTRY standard is that the www is handled by a simple 'A' record, ie: www A...

InderS, I have attached an image of the error given in Plesk Control Panel Demon

That's not permitted as it conflicts with the Glue Records according to PLESK CONTROL PANEL

Under all standard DNS Protocols NO domain should be using a CNAME for www it should be an A record.

It appears the latest version of PLESK does not like standard DNS settings. No matter how I configure the DNS, getting anything to resolve to www.<domain> is impossible.... it just gives me the default web page. I am currently using the following: <ip>/24 PTR <domain> <domain> NS...

Misunderstanding Uhhhm, the image may look like it is more than one page, but on my screen (large) it is not, it fits all on one page!
