Website resolving to wrong directory

[TomSan]

I have a domain (ntillo.com) with a non-shared IP address. I can ftp to my site and uploaded all the files no problem to vhosts/ntillo.com/httpdocs/. The files all show up in remote desktop connection and in the plesk control panel so i *know* everything is OK with that process.

The IP address for ntillo.com is (88.208.200.133) and the DNS according to plesk is (88.208.200.133 / 24). (I think the "/24" is for subdomains - but am new to this).

When i go to www.ntillo.com it gives a default plesk page that says "Web Server's Default Page" bla bla bla. I have figured out that the directory this page is located in is vhosts/default/htdocs - which is not where i want the domain resolving to. It should be vhosts/ntillo.com/httpdocs - million dollar question: how do I change this?

Would greatly appreciate any help - i'm trying to do this myself and am anxious to get the site/dedicated server up and running. Please keep any techno-babble as simple as possible for the newbie here,

Kindest regards,

Tom.

PS. Server IP is 88.208.201.33 - if that matters?

Try to reconfigure vhost with

"%plesk_bin%\websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=ntillo.com"

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Exactly how do I do what you suggest? Sorry if that's a really dumb question :-s

Thanks again,

Tom.

Thanks,

Have done this - the attached image shows the error message i get. The D:\ drive is where all the plesk files and folders were installed to by default hence why i changed this in the image. Is there another way to do this or a way to fix this?

Must say i'm very impressed with this customer service and will be recommending plesk

Kind rgrds,

Tom.

Use command with "" symbols:

"%plesk_bin%\websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=ntillo.com"

"%plesk_bin%\websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=ntillo.com"

Thanks for your support.

Error message changed...i'm so confused - attached image shows the message as well as the d:\ and c:\ drivers, looks like d:\ is where the websites are and c:\ is where plesk is installed. This was all done by the server provider. As the image shows, i tried with quotes to both the c: and d: drives.

What now...? :-(

Thanks,

Tom.

Also, server is 64 bit - does that matter? Reading through the forums I can there are some compatibility issues with certain features (like site preview) but surely that won't be affecting ntillo.com resolving the wrong directory?

Any more thoughts Igor, or anyone? :-(

Thanks,

For the sake of completion and anyone landing here from google, i managed to fix my problem by following these steps *proud face*

Steps taken to resolve issue: (website resolving to the wrong directory)

1. Log in via remote desktop connection to server. Close absolutely everything in the tray.
2. Open in IIS manager (control panel --> administrative tools --> IIS manager)
3. Navigate to the site in the left hand window
4. Noticed it had a little stop sign next to the internet earth logo, clicked start and got an error message about w3svc not being started.
5. Start --> Run --> cmd --> type without quotes net start w3svc
6. Close cmd window
7. Go back to IIS manager --> click start
8. Ta-da site now works, seems to be working on restart too.
