  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Change DocumentRoot of default vhost

I created a vhost for my domain via Plesk. It has been created under /var/www/vhosts/<mydomain>.

I would like to use <mydomain> as the default vhost. Currently, server.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/) specifies DocumentRoot path to /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs and any changes made in this file are automatically overwritten anyway.

How do I adjust the configuration, so when I go to a browser and access <mydomain> or <myIP>, the custom domain files are served instead of the Plesk's default vhost?

I tried to do it with vhost.conf placed under /var/www/vhosts/<mydomain>/conf/ and reconfiguring vhosts afterwards, but the default DocumentRoot remains unchanged, even with restarting Apache.

It's getting a little bit frustrating actually. This kind of a change should be possible to be made via the GUI in a clear, easy way...
