Plesk set-up: wher are the domain files stored?

[NetDoc]

I have used (and been frustrated by) cPanel/WHM for quite some time. I have gotten used to where it puts things and HOW it does that. I have a co-located server with Plesk 8.2.1 on CentOS 4.5 and have set up a few clients and domains under those clients. On cPanel, every new domain gets set up under /home/, but that does not seem to be the case with Plesk. In fact, I can not find ANY domain that I have set up on my server ANYWHERE.

So, my questions are:

1) Does Plesk automatically create these directories?

2) If yes, where are they put?

3) If no, is there a way for Plesk to do this and how do I accomplish that?

4) Is there a simple read somewhere for Plesk? A sort of "Plesk for Dummies" book?

Also, is there a check list to be sure that I have this Plesk Server set up correctly? Thanks

Yes, they create quite a few

2) If yes, where are they put?

All domains are in /var/www/vhosts

4) Is there a simple read somewhere for Plesk? A sort of "Plesk for Dummies" book?

Unfortunately none that I have found, although you can try their documentation if you feel "brave" lol

There are several "tutorials" and what not both here on these forums and on the internet in general on how to fine tune and secure your install, I would suggest reading over them, although most of the security stuff is global for the distro, not the plesk application itself.

Best information about Plesk on the web

This guy had a nice blog about plesk such as where all the important files are stored, how to configure this and that on plesk, etc.

His web site (pearlin.info/blog) appears to be down but you can get the cache copy from google. See if this link works for you.
