Friendly URL for control panel address

[Quaxxon]

Hey Guys,

I'd like for my users to be able to login through an address like
https://cp.domain.com

rather then having the :8443 on the end.

Can this be done?

Hello,


Sorry this cannot be done as the URL you want will access the port 80 which is for Aapache and Plesk runs on Port 8443.

So this is impossile.

Feel free to contact me for issues and contracts at [email protected]

Thanks,
Bandurao.
System Administrator.

Why couldn't your create an http redirect do accomplish this?

Things looks somethig different:

1. Plesk uses Apache for CP management
2. IIS is used for web-sites
3. Ports must be different

Therefore Apache and IIS must use different ports , however there is trick that can be done:

1.Redirection, put redirection code in index.htm, or, it will be better, to login.html.Code in login.html simply redirects to port 8443
In this case user can type:
http://my.domain.com/login.html and will be redirected to
https://my.domain.com:8443

Where is located https://my.domain.com:8443 index file?? I want to insert code for redirect too.

Hello,


When you create a domain the default index file is created under its document root that is as follows:

c:\\inetpub\vhosts\DomainName\httpdocs

One more thing to consider:
1. When you use redirection you need change default page for your domain, or people instead of browsing your site will be redirected to login page
2. You can make it as follow
a) create some page (e.g. main.html)
b) go to IIS mmc->right click site-> properties
c) click Documents tab-> click add
d) click document name in text box (e.g. main.html)
c) enjoy Plesk
