  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Total newbie here, first ever root server and I'm lost completely with this plesk.

I have one user (me) and five sites.
the ssh consule is greyed out and I've been recommended not to enable it.

I can access my server shell with a root username and password, but I can't get to any of my sites.
someone told me I should type in

cd /home/httpd/website1.com
cd /home/httpd/website2.com
cd /home/httpd/website3com
cd /home/httpd/website4.com

But I get a no such file message. :(

I've previously been on a managed server which didn't have plesk and I was able to access all my websites with four different logins,
i.e website 1 UserID pass would show me all the files in that directory I wouldn't see other sites.

I want to be able to set up a database on my new server, and restore the data by the command line
mysql -u dbo11111111 -p db2222222 < mydump.SQL

because mydump.sql was made from a different server, I downloaded it by FTP, then reuploaded it from FTP in the site1.com directory.

But I can't even get to my site by ssh let alone restore this database.

Can anyone please give me some advice. As I say I'm a total newbie to root servers and plesk so really need some help, my server hosts are just not answering support tickets :(
 
Your directory structure is as follows:

/var/www/vhosts/Domain/httpdocs
or
/var/www/vhosts/Domain/httpsdocs (ssl)

/var/www/vhosts/Domain -- this is where you're at with FTP

You have the phpMyAdmin database manipulation system within Plesk's control panel to handle database administration (makes things easier for you, if you like) as well... It's in the Control Panel -> Domains -> Domain -> Databases -> DB Name -> WebAdmin (it'll pop up a window)...

Then you can go from there.
