• 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.

CNAME Not Working it Goes To Plesk Default Page

Your valuable time and help will be much appreciated

I am on VDS on GoDaddy with Plesk 8.3 for Windows & MS Win 2003

Example - If I use a CNAME XX.mydomain.com to yahoo.com
and when I type XX.mydomain.com on my web browser it must take me to yahoo.com

In the same way I add a CNAME inside the DNS Settings of Plesk
control.mydomain.com (to-go-to) mydomain.com

But My Problem is when I type control.mydomain.com on my web browser it is taking me to Plesk Default Page and not to mydomain.com

Please Help!
 
Found the solution, here it is:

Say we want 123.foo.com CNAME foo.com

1. Log into PLESK and add the CNAME record to your domains DNS
2. Create file var/www/vhosts/foo.com/conf/vhost.conf with the following 1 line:
ServerAlias 123.foo.com
3. From shell run the following:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=foo.com

Will work straight away - from your Browser type your domain (123.foo.com)
 
Simpler way?

Try restarting Apache for the cname change to kick in. This should be more simple than making the manual change as the above post.

i.e. at the Linux prompt, type and enter:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
