  • 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.

Resolved Web Server's Default Page shown instead of website when accessing via domain

kongo09

New Pleskian
I have setup several domains. The website of one domain doesn't show up. Instead, only the plesk default page is shown.

This problem seems to come up often. I have read many posts in the forum about this and tried many things already, none of which worked:
  • plesk repair fs
  • plesk repair web
  • Hosting-Type: Website
  • Website-Status: Active
  • all Apache and nginx settings on default
  • SSL/TLS disabled
  • checked IP for VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/forwarding/example.com_httpd.conf
I have no idea what else to try. On a side note, when I set the Hosting Type to Forwarding, that also has no effect. I still see the plesk default page.

hello @kongo09 ,
what will happen if you try open this domain from the same server?
I mean execute at the Plesk server where this domain hosted something like curl Example Domain ?

Is the correct IP address displayed at the domain main info page ?
Is domain correctly resolves from the machine where you are doing your checks ?

Also please check that you do not have enabled custom panel URL at Tools & Settings > Customize Plesk URL.
 
correct IP address
Yes, that's correct.
Customize Plesk URL
No, this is not customized
open this domain from the same server
I didn't try this before and did it just now, 8 hours after my initial struggle. It does indeed work! So I called the website once more and bam, now it works as expected. Not sure what changed during the last eight hours but problem is solved.
