• 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.

DNS issues on EC2

Hi,

I am trying to install Plesk 8.2 on an Amazon EC2 server. After finding that Plesk 8.2 will not install on a base installation of CentOS 4.4, I have managed to install on a base install of Fedora Core 4.

However, whenever I try to go to log into the Plesk control panel to complete the installation (ie. connect to port 8443 as described in this page of the installation guide),
I am re-directed to a domain name that is only suitable for DNS resolution inside the Amazon EC2 network; and as such, I cannot log into the Plesk control panel.

I presume that during installation, or possibly at run time, Plesk has grabbed / grabs the domain name of the server via a reverse lookup of the IP address of the server.

Can someone please explain where Plesk stores the domain name that it believes it is installed on, or, alternatively, how I can alter the behaviour of Plesk so that it does not perform a lookup of the domain name at run time? This does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the installation guide or the administrator's guide.
