We need to run some web services on port 443 using a custom web server. There is a requirement that we keep Plesk running on the same machine for other server admin tasks; however, it is not needed for serving websites at all. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this through the menu system. It is possible to "suspend" and "disable" specific websites, but it seems Plesk will still serve a 503 page in this case. There is also the option to "change hosting type" to "no hosting", but a warning appears saying the change will take the radical step of basically deleting the default home directory. Sounds like that might break a few things - and why should it be necessary? How can I simply stop Plesk hogging port 443 without deleting anything? Thanks!
