Change Settings (Domain) in Plesk has no effect

ffischer

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
i have some strange problems with my Plesk Server.

So i try to explain. :)

I changed the Domain for a Customer from test1.de to test2.de

test2.de does now have the hosting /httdocs and
test1.de is now forwarding to test2.de

bevor the change it was the opposit
/
test1.de has the hosting and test2 was forwarding to test1.de
\

all saved .. but if i open the site test2.de i allways get the site with test1.de
but the i restart the service "apache" and .. now it works correctly ...

the same Problem i got for some weeks.

i add a new customer with new domain,
all fine .. i open the site .. the Plesk Dummy site is showing.

by ftp i delete the site in upload a new php file that shows a blank site.
after upload an open the domain i got error site not found NGIX
then i upload a test file and open the domain againt domain.com/test.html
the same error ..
after looking in some logs i found this.

Code:
[Sun Apr 28 17:39:25 2013] [error] [client 137.8.24.84] File does not exist:
   /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/test.html 
   [Sun Apr 28 17:39:25 2013] [error] [client 137.8.24.84] File does not exist:
   /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/test.html 
   [Sun Apr 28 17:39:25 2013] [error] [client 137.8.24.84] File does not exist:
   /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/test.html 
   [Sun Apr 28 17:39:25 2013] [error] [client 137.8.24.84] File does not exist:
   /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/test.html

so i just start the apache service new in the plesk UI and .. it works .. it confusing me ..
some ideas what happen?

many thanks in advance
greets from germany

I don't know the reason of your problem, but I've got some hints for investigation:
Your access log contains /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/test.html
That means apache does not have virtual host for your site.
There is a simple way to see it: as you say "Plesk Dummy" page for site contains the address of the site, but default server's dummy does not (it contains 'Default Server').

Check setting 'Apache restart interval' on Tools&Settings > Server Settings. May be it has too big value.
Check /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log for errors during apache reconfiguration.
Check mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "select * from Configurations where status <> 'ok'"
 
Hello,
thank you for reply.

The Settings Intervall are 999999 sek ( default i have no settings changed )

the log sw-cp-server/error_log for errors
contains some error but i need to read the files in a calm moment :)
 
a big thank you!
think this is solved my problem.

i m wondering why this value is so big,i never changed it.
