Resolved Plesk bin site error when creating a domain from bash script

[developercoffeeshop]

Im having an issue creating a domain on plesk, this command works fine when run through cli:

```plesk bin site --create newdomain.com -webspace-name existingdomain.com -www-root /httpdocs```

But when I add the same code above to a bash script (create_domain.sh) and try to run it with:

```sudo bash create_domain.sh```

I get the following error

```An error occurred during domain creation: hosting update is failed: cObject->update() failed: Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('www_root' = ')```

Anyone knows why this is happening?

I tried /usr/local/psa/bin/site instead of plesk bin site and I get the same issue

Works fine with this content of bash script:

# cat d.sh
#!/bin/sh
plesk bin site --create newdomain.com -webspace-name existingdomain.com -www-root /httpdoc

# sh d.sh
SUCCESS: Creation of domain 'newdomain.com' completed.

plesk bin site --create newdomain.com -webspace-name existingdomain.com -www-root /httpdoc

# sh d.sh

Thanks for getting back to me, I still get this error

An error occurred during domain creation: hosting update is failed: cObject->update() failed: Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('www_root' = ')var/www/vhosts/clientfunnels.io/httpdocs

Is there something wrong with my install?

Some fields are empty or contain an improper value.

There are many possible reasons for this error, you can check it with KB article search by this quoted phrase.
One of this reason may be a database inconsistency. Try to fix it with

# plesk repair db

Or check possible solutions from KB articles.

Have you cut&pasted that command line into the script using a windows pc?
Check whether the - before www_root is still a - and not autocowrecked to –.

I deleted and rewrote the script in nano and it worked, thanks for your help
