  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hello,

Long time cPanel/WHM user here. So I've got a couple questions switching to Plesk.

#1. In WHM, I'd create accounts. Accounts then had their own login and associated domain. That account would have a whole hosting package created for them (on the server it would be /home/users/whatevertheaccountnameishere), and that would contain their public_html folders and all that. That account could also login to their domain:2083 and access their own cpanel to do anything they wanted with their account like add sub domains, parked domains, create email accounts, ftp users, etc.

It seems like this is drastically different in Plesk. What exactly is the process for this through Plesk, and how does it differ from cPanel/WHM?


#2. Where do I edit the Apache configuration in Plesk? To accomplish things like changing php mem limit, installing modules, or php configuration.
 
Which version of Plesk are going to use?

#1
For example on plesk 8.6.1 with qmail
https://server.domain.com:8443

/var/www/vhosts/domainname/httpdocs
/var/www/vhosts/domainname/subdomain
/var/qmail/mailnames/domainname

The administrators guide is very helpful in learning where things are placed and how to manage it via the psa interface. Also you might just want to get a trial version and play with it.

#2

This is done via command line via ssh.

/etc/httpd/httpd/conf
/etc/php.ini
