Splitting http and https directories

[DougCurtis]

We will be migrating from plesk 9 to plesk 11 and I am having some trouble finding a fix for something. Previously, http and https could either share a directory or have split directories (httpdocs and httpsdocs) for a site. Now all I see is httpdocs and I can't find a way to have separate directories.

I found a couple of posts in the forums but the options they talk about don't seem to exist.

Thanks,

Doug

So I see the part that says:

The following directories are not included in Panel virtual hosts:
/httpsdocs
/subdomains
/private

What does "not included" mean? It means they are no longer supported? How does the migration manager handle when migrating from an older plesk server to Plesk 11.5? This seems like a fairly big thing to remove (along with the private directory) without some alternate solution for the many people that use the originally architected method.

Thanks,

Doug

There is following scenario of migration:

/httpsdocs will be always migrated. But if you have enabled option "Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content" in hosting settings - http and https requests will be handled by httpdocs/ directory. If this option disabled these requests will be handled separately by corresponding directories.

Ah, that option doesn't show up until you migrate a site. It doesn't show up for sites that are newly created in Plesk 11.

Thanks,

So can anyone explain why the /private folder has been removed from the Virtual Host Structure?
For new hosts where should we put files that would have previously been placed in the /private folder?

 

[DougCurtis]

I'm not sure if it's the proper way or not but I've had to manually create the private folders for sites when they need them. I guess you could always add the folder private to /var/www/vhosts/.skel/0 so that it would get created every time a site was created.
