Newbie to Plesk - default applications

[sthomas]

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've recently purchased a dedicated VPS running Plesk 9.2.2 and I need to migrate my current home grown hosting server to the VPS.

Plesk will make our lives much easier once we've got it all set up and so I 've got some questions around what it can do and how best for us to use it?

We have a Linux platform and will be hosting Joomla sites. I would like to be able to do the following:
Create domain - done
App Joomla web application into sub directory - done

How do I point the domain and the www sub domain to that sub directory, I don't want users to realise it's a sub directory?

This would mean we can easily test different versions of Joomla and the upgrade process between them.

We also develop Joomla sites under a development domain, once the site is finished, can the Joomla web application be moved to another domain and set as default??

Thanks,

Hello,

You can find information on applications installation in the following article:

Thanks - I had read through this and hence my question. It appears you can set a default for Windows hosting butnot Linux and I was wondering if the community had an alternative way of achieving the same thing.

It doesn't mention about moving applications between domains? Any ideas?

Do the following:
setup domain name
www.domain.com

in dns set up you name servers.
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

in sub-domains create:
superfly.domain.com
thisisatest.domain.com
barcelona.domain.com

use above sub-domains for testing of joomla 1.0 / 1.5 / 1.6

in vps create:

www.joeuser.com
www.janeuser.com
www.fredflintstone.com
www.wilmaflintstone.com
etc...

use application vault to install correct version of joomla you want ( good luck )
