plesk subdomain error

[hispeedsurfer]

Hi, I'am new to plesk. It's a great software.

I have to access the plesk control panel not on default port 8443, so I use now a subdomain configured with mod_proxy configuration

What I have tried:
Example
my domain: domain.org
created subdomain with plesk panel: plesk.domain.org with ssl, php and cgi support

in /var/www/vhost/domain.org/subdomains/plesk/conf/vhost.conf I use the following contents:
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass / https://domain.org:8443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://domain.org:8443/

After execution of /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=domain.org and service httpd restart I call https://plesk.domain.org in my browser and I've been redireced to https://plesk.domain.org/login.php3?previous_page=index and this screen is a little bit diffrent to the default login screen. When try to access this page with my username root and password I receive a login error: Error: Login is incorrect.

If I use https://plesk.domain.org:8443 I've been redireced to https://plesk.domain.org:8443/vz/cp/panel/plesk/frameset and login is no problem.

Can someone explain me what I have to do using plesk without port statement.

Thanks

Why?

If you really need to change the port, see How to change the port for the Plesk control panel interface from 8443 to another one? in the Knowledge Base. (Of course you cannot change it to port 80, because Apache is already using that port.)

Hi breun,

thank you for your reply.
I don't want to change the internal plesk port, I want use a subdomain (443) to proxy via apache to the default (httsp://domain.org:8334) as I described above.

But the approach I found here in forum and in the internet (http://alexle.net/archives/152), doesn't work for me.

Hi,

is somewhere out anyone have running Plesk 8.6 via proxy/subdomain and can explain me what I have to install/download/configure/todo get this working? Help would be appreciated.

Hi,

No configuration problem.

In the past I used root as username on login screen (https://domain.org:8443/)

Access with subdomain (in my case https://plesk.domain.org/) the root login name is unkonwn. Accidentally I found out to use admin as username. Why? I don't know! Main thing - is working now.

Thanks

The Plesk administrator's account has been 'admin' for as long as I can remember, not 'root'.
