File not found (wp-login.php)

[markozajsen]

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.
