Subdomain / subscriptions in plesk 10

[Jonny_UKF]

Hi guys,

I know this has been discussed before but I cant seem to find an answer to my specific question.

I am assisting a customer who is using Plesk 10.4.4 on Ubuntu.

The customer has his domain set up and would like to create a duplicate of this domain for his development and testing.

I cant create a seperate subscription for the subdomain, so I add the subdomain develepment. to his existing subscription.

Plesk tells me that the document root of this new site is '/development' and sure enough there is a new folder in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/ called development. However there is also a new folder in vhosts aswell, called development.domain.com.

The site is drawing its content from the folder within domain.com so why does plesk also create a folder within vhosts?

Also, from a development and testing point of view, what are the implications of 'sharing' a subscription?

Thanks in advance!

Jonny

vhosts/development.domain.com includes system configuration files of the domain.
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/development is your docroot

What do you mean by 'sharing' a subscription?
