File not found (wp-login.php)

Server operating system version

Ubuntu Server 2025

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.68 Update #1

I'm at my wits end with this. Spent yesterday whole afternoon setting up VMvware, Ubuntu Server 2024 and then Plesk. Got a static IP from my ISP, fixed all the port forwarding and changed the DNS at my domain holder.

I can get to my domain. I even set up EncryptSSL. But, when I land on my domain, I get a Plesk login (login_up.php), instead of Wordpress. When I click on preview inside the WP Toolkit, everything works fine. But when I try to log in (wp-login.php), I get a simple "file not found". Here's what I have done already:
- Document root: "httpdocs"
- PHP: FPM app served by Apache
- NGINX: Proxy mode on
- created .htaccess
- defined WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL
- checked WP_OPTIONS database for home and siteurl (they match)

Nginx is listening on 80 and 443, however Apache for some reason didn't have my website listed as a vhost. I added that

What else can I do? I just don't get it??

It's almost like WordPress doesn't exist on the server, but all the files are there.

Hello, @markozajsen . This issue usually occurs when there's a problem with the vhost files. Are you sure the file was correctly added? Can you please run:

plesk repair web yourdomain.com

and let us know if the issue still persists.

Same problem here on 18.0.77! First domain (subscription) installed WP and was able to log-in, however no user space recorded (0MB...), but the site is at least working. The second subscription (domain) the same issue as mentioned by the markozajsen above! Ran repair and no issues found! This is just unbelievable, a reseller tool that can't handle 2 WP subscriptions, incredible!

Plesk calculates disk usage during the nightly maintenance task.
You can also try to refresh the disk usage using:


Plesk is able to manage servers running multiple WordPress instances. WP-Toolkit is a great tool for WordPress management.
