Plesk 11.5.x and Bug with https?

[Azurel]

I have just upgrade from 11.0.9#55 to 11.5.30#5. No problems with install.

But here is something strange. I have no SSL activated but all domains have a https-site with a "Web Server's Default Page" from plesk. Why? How I can remove this?

I think I should get a "Error 403" message, not the default page.

Anyone have an idea?

It's normal behavior. Webserver listens on 80 (http) and 443 (https) ports, so your requests pass to webserver and it try to find corresponding vhost. You turned off ssl support for vhosts, so webserver could not find corresponding vhost and shows you default vhost. Why do you want to see 403 error instead of default vhost?

Oh. I never see this on other pages. So I thought it was a bug. Sorry.

Most pages give me a "timeout with connection" to https-website, or 403 or 404 or redirect back to "http".
I found no one with a server (plesk) default page. Is here a way to edit this plesk default page?

I have found this KB: http://kb.parallels.com/de/119/?show_at=en

In 11.5. Here I found the plesk default page: /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs

For (SSL) (so I understand) its here: /var/www/vhosts/default/httpsdocs

But "httpsdocs" is empty and insert a own new index.html change nothing, I see always the content of "htdocs" folder.
Change the index.html of "htdocs" folder I see the change in https://....

Is this a bug?


I want customize the https default page.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? ^^°

Well from the point of SEO showing servers default vhost content is not ok as you can be 'punished' by search engine for doubling content.

My question is how to avoid this behaviour ?

If newly created domain have SSL support off it should redirect back to http:// instead of displaying default vhost.

Is there any rule to put into default vhost template ?

That could be good idea to this to be by default in future releases of Plesk Panel.

Azurel,

This KB is outdated and will be fixed soon. In PP11.5 both http/https use share docroot.

MariuszS,

It's normal and default behavior for all web servers. Plesk only setup own server default page. If you want to realize your case you need next steps:
1) Activate https for domain
2) add to .htaccess file rule 'redirect to http if https scheme present in request'.
