• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.

Publishing Websites Setup

Speedy059

New Pleskian
I'm a bit confused on this "publishing" part of Sitebuilder. Is it not possible to use Sitebuilder on it's own dedicated server, and then publish websites on different servers? We have customers on Linux servers and Windows servers. However I don't see a way for a user to publish to their website space? Isn't there a way a user could just download all the files and upload it?

Sitebuilder only allows me to enter in 1 host, what if we have many servers that have clients on them? We also have clients with dedicated IP's. I'm not sure how this "1 Host" deal works out.

Any advise is appreciated.
 
Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder for Linux/Unix is designed to publish sites to a single server by default (Plesk or non-Plesk). It can be the same server where product installed or any other server (for publishing to Plesk for Windows server following article should be used: http://kb.odin.com/en/3471)
If you wish to publish to different servers you need to have appropriate limits on your license. For more information better contact to online sales: https://www.parallels.com/support/online_sales/form/

Actually, there is no way to just upload some files for publication process. There are many nuances and some requirements to publication host also exist - http://www.parallels.com/en/sitebuilder/reqs
 
So we would have to buy separate licenses and set this program up on separate servers to publish on Linux servers and Windows servers?

After trying to use this on Linux, it is not user friendly and one of the most difficult "automated" programs I have seen. The publishing method makes no sense, whatever happened to basic FTP uploading?
 
For the license questions it is better to contact with sales team. They could help you better. With single-server publish license you can publish only into one server (Linux or Windows, it does not meter). But for publication into Windows server there should be Parallels Plesk installed and configured in proper way. For details you should refer to http://kb.odin.com/en/3471.
Actually, publication process is mostly FTP uploading. The thing is that Parallels Sitebuilder has it's own format and it is not possible just upload files from one server to another. Some additional procedures should be performed as destination host checking for requirements...etc.
If you have some specific FTP publication issue, just let me know and I will try to help.
