• 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.

Changing a Domain in Plesk for Ruby on Rails app & MySQL DB

Hello All,

I have a Ruby on Rails app running with Apache, MySQL, and Mongrel on a dedicated linux server.

I have it at people.myoldwebsite.com

but I want to change it to:

people.mynewwebsite.com

I have created the new physical domain in Plesk.

I have copied the vhost.conf file over and changed everywhere that it says people.myoldwebsite.com to people.mynewwebsite.com.

I have also copied all the application files/folders over to the new vhost domain.

The MySQL database that I'm using is attached to the old domain and the application server won't start under the new domain.

Does anyone know how to change a domain in Plesk? Can I just point the domain to the MYSQL database somehow? What else am I missing?

Thanks in advance, please let me know if I need to provide more information. Even if there is a book I can read, I'd love a recommendation.

Best,
Dustin
