  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Joomla problems

Hello I don't know a lot for Plesk neither for Joomla and I have some problems.
I am using a vserver(8.6 version) at a hosting company(not dedicated). I installed latest version of Joomla and starting developing a web site.

I followed this instructions
http://docs.joomla.org/Security_and..._confidential_files_outside_of_public_html.3F

so as to move configuration.php file outside of the httpdocs directory at the private directory.


Now at the actual configuration.php file there is the above code:

Code:
<?php
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '../private/joomla.conf );

The actual configuration.php file has been renamed to joomla.conf and is placed at /private/joomla.conf directory. When I am trying to access a .php page I get the following errors at ther log files:



[Fri Feb 13 20:33:28 2009] [error] [client 79.103.152.215] PHP Warning: require(/var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/httpdocs../private/joomla.conf) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/httpdocs/configuration.php on line 2

[Fri Feb 13 20:33:28 2009] [error] [client 79.103.152.215] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/httpdocs../private/joomla.conf' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/httpdocs/configuration.php on line 2




I tried a lot of difrent path but the result always was my path to be appended at this path
/var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/httpdocs but I want to go up one directory form the directory /httpdocs.


I can't understand.....Why everything is appended at the end of this path? The private path which is the only secure directory were I can have access is here /var/www/vhosts/radioapodrasi.gr/private

How can eventually set the right path at the configuration.php file??? Does this problem has to do with any setting regarding open base dir configuration?


Another question I have is about FTP Accounts. Trying to install some components at Joomla I had problem with the ownership of folders/files everything that was installed through Joomla amdinistration panel had as an owner apache:apache and I couldn't do anything with this files/folders.
Joomla instructions suggest to activate joomla FTP Layer which solves this problem. I had tried and seems to wokring. My problem though, is that I only have one FTP Account from the hosting company and I would like to know is it possible to have another FTP Account to use it with Joomla or this thing is kind of limit from Plesk. In your opinion is it a better way to solve this issue?
 
Is there a configuration in Plesk so as to allow parent paths? Does thsi has to do with my problem? Any help?
