how can i change the document root with webapplications installed ?

[Art_CNC]

hello,

i am relatively new to Plesk, i ordered a vserver with Plesk a couple of months ago and spend a lot of time setting everything up and developing several new websites. I am used to developping new websites on a hidden adress (sth like domain.com/dev/ instead of the top level) and then switch the document root to point to the hidden directory when all is done. This practice has served me and my clients well for the last 10 years.

Using the Plesk features like built-in applications seemed like a good idea at the time but wanting to switch the new websites live i have now found out that Plesk won't let me do this since:

It is impossible to change document root because there are web applications installed on this website.

I had read somewhere on the interweb that the v12 would let me do this so i just spent the better part of today updating to v12 .. but alas no luck, the limitation is still there.

How can i solve this ? Is there a way to remove this limitation ?

Yes, you can install webapp into domain's root directory only on installation stage with removing /dev/ or something like this. When webapp is already installed you can't change directory for this webapp unfortunately.
