How to make subdomains directory be under the root domain directory?

[hp_solomon]

By default in plesk, the directory structure of the site when i access it through FTP:

bin
cgi-bin
conf
error_docs
etc
httpdocs ---> root folder of the site...
lib
pd
private
subdomains ---> folders for subdomains
tmp
usr
var
web_user

My question is how can i make my subdomain directory under the root of my domain site?

bin
cgi-bin
conf
error_docs
etc
httpdocs ---> root folder of the site...
------ subdomains --> folders for subdomains
lib
pd
private
tmp
usr
var
web_user

How can i make my subdomains be under the root domain directory.

I need to do this to setup a single session for domans and subdomains. I can't find it on the control pannel that sets this.

i hope someone can help me. Please help.

Obviously you cannot do it with the native Plesk subdomain creation facility.

You can do it either manually, and have to do all the details yourself, or you can use 4PSA's Total Domains product, which does create subdomains under the domain's docroot as you describe.

It is generally not recommended to do it manually unless you have more Linux experience, and are prepared for Plesk to possibly overwrite your manual changes at any time (such as updates/upgrades, control panel changes to the domains)

To do it manually, in a nutshell, you would login root SSH and manually create the directory structures you want, then upload the files. Manually configure the domain's httpd.include, vhost.conf and any other apache domain config files. Edit the main domain's DNS entries for the subdomains you create.

Make use of the Plesk /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng script after making changes, restart the apache service. Basically that is the procedure. Make backups of all config files you change so that when Plesk overwrites the files, you can easily copy them back into place.

From what I have seen from your posts, ( I do not mean to offend) but you seem to have a limited amount of sys admin experience, so I would recommend that you use the 4PSA Total Domains product (or go for a bundle package).

Their prices are very fair, and actually one of the forum users (Poke) I believe has been running discounts on the 4PSA bundle products.

4PSA products are 3rd Party addons for Plesk. See http://www.4psa.com I and many others highly recommend their products.

I only give you the quick nutshell outline because I really do not have the time or patience to hold a full training class here on the forum. The manual way of doing it is not something which a Plesk forum should be used for. Use Google or buy a book on Linux or Unix basics, and Apache 2
