• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Standard domain forwarding does not forward https connections

New Pleskian
Hi there,

I have researched this issue but couldn't find a satisfying answer.
The following thread/FAQ topic is what I found, but neither gives a proper solution:
http://kb.odin.com/en/119558
https://talk.plesk.com/threads/standard-forward-doesnt-redirect-https.84684/

We are running Plesk 12 on a Linux VPS where we have multiple domains running.
Multiple of these domains should redirect from www.domainname.ext to https://ext.domainname.com.
This is configured with the Domain forwarding in Plesk, with hosting type Forwarding.
But as described in the 2 links provided above, whenever you go to https://www.domain.ext, it does not redirect, and actually shows a Security error, since the domain doesn't have the SSL-certificate installed (because it should redirect to the https://ext.domainname.com).

Clearly we don't want visitors on the website to receive the (incorrect) Security error, and we want all traffic to http(s)://www.domain.ext to be redirected to the appropriate subdomains.

Hopefully there is a solution which allows us to redirect both the https/http connections to the domains, without forcing us to have the domains have a Website hosting and redirect them manually with (for example) .htaccess.

If anyone knows a solution to this, I would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance

I have no idea if bumping is allowed, but I'm just gonna bump this :)
Hopefully someone has an idea how to solve/configure this so it can be set up as described above.
