• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Change vhost path

Hello,

Currently on one of our windows plesk installs we have vhosts setup at C:\Inetpub\vhosts. I want to change this location, I also want to change the path that each domain is using:

e.g. C:\Inetpub\vhosts\website1.com -> C:\Inetpub\vhosts\website1\

Digging about I've found the websrvmng.exe tool, however I cannot find any documentation on how this tool should be used. "websrvmng.exe --help" gives a plethora of options but nothing that really describes what they do.

I've tried to use the following:

websrvmng.exe --get-vdir --vhost-name=website1.com

This seems to give me an XML blob for the domain, I can save this blob to a file and then try to update the vhost with:

websrvmng.exe --update-vdir --vhost-name=website1.com --vdir-config --via-file=D:\test.xml

However I get an error:

"The parameter is incorrect.
at load"


Is there any documentation for websrvmng.exe? Are there any instructions for changing the directory that a domains hosting is using? So far searching the forums, google and the knowledge base is not giving me any results.

Thanks, Gavin
 
plesk reconfigurator

Hi,

u can change the vhosts location using plesk reconfigurator.

Access reconfigurator from start menu and you will get the option to change the vhost location.
 
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I looked at the vhost reconfigurator but it would appear that it would move the location of the vhosts to a new location.

E.g. if vhosts are in C:\inetput\vhosts you could move them all to D:\data\vhosts

What I was looking to to do was just change the path used for an actual site:

e.g. C:\inetpub\vhosts\www.website.com\ to be C:\inetpub\vhosts\website\

Normally this would be quite straight forward from within IIS.

I'm in the process of creating a test enviroment to play with the vhost reconfigurator and the websrvmng.exe tools to see if it is possible to get them to do what I need.

Regards, Gavin
