Question Two domains - same root folder

Hi all,

i have one domain domain.com with ssl, email, and on...
Now I want to add second domain domain.net with ssl, email, and on... but to the same folder like first domain domain.com

Because I separate them in Symfony.
How can I do this in Plesk?

There are two ways of doing this:
a) Upon domain creation you can set the same document root directory that your existing domain is using. If the domain has already been created, you can use the webhosting settings to change the document root to that folder.
b) You do not create the domain as webhosting, but with the "Add Alias" button and choose the existing domain as the master domain for the alias.

If the domain has already been created, you can use the webhosting settings to change the document root to that folder.

Thank you Peter. The Domain is already there. But how can I set the domain to the folder. The path in "Hosting and DNS" starts with the root of the domain folder?

The path starts with the root of the subscription, e.g. / would be the base directory of the subscription, /httpdocs is the typical document root of the master domain of that subscription, /somedomain.xx would be a typical document root for an add-on domain of that subscription. You can see the path of the master domain when you look into its settings. Simply set the add-on domain to the same path.

I don't get how to change a domain what's already there. Path...

I have domain_01.com and domain_02.com
They have their own webspace.
/var/www/vhosts/domain_01.com/httpdocs
/var/www/vhosts/domain_02.com/httpdocs

If I create new domain and say use webspace from domain_01.com it works.
But if I change the existing domain_02.com I stuck in the / root of the domain_02.com webspace... eg (/var/www/vhosts/domain_02.com/httpdocs)

Sorry for the confusion. You did not mention that your domains belong to different users. I thought that you want to add a domain, not a separate webspace.

The domains must reside in the same web space. It is not possible to form an alias with domains that reside in different webspaces. The reason for that is that each webspace (=subscription) is owned by a separate user. Site isolation keeps the areas that different users are allowed to view apart.

Thank you Peter.
Just to ask...
So I have to delete and setup new the other domain.

If it is an add-on domain, you can also "move" a domain from one subscription into another. Moving starts at the source. You need to be logged in as "admin" to be able to move a domain.


You can only move add-on domains, not the master domain of a subscription. So in case the domain you want to become an alias or to use the same root as the other is a master domain of another subscription, you cannot move it, you will indeed have to remove it and add it to the target subscription.
