Installing Postgresql and having Plesk recognize it as a valid database option is almost as easy as installing it outside Plesk but with one additional step. You have to tell plesk postgresql is installed on the server.

# yum install postgresql postgresql-server 

After yum downloads and installs the server you have to start the service:

Redirecting non-www to a www domain when Plesk is installed on the server requires additional steps opposed to just having IIS installed on the server.

1. Log into Account
2. Under DNS, remove the CNAME for www on non-www domain.
3. Create new domain WITH www (www.example.com)
4. move data from example.com to www.example.com

PHP 5.3 has introduced a new error level that reports deprecated functions. On line 13 of the config file use this line instead:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED)

In the file: manager/includes/document.parser.class.php You will need to modify line 2502 from:

if (error_reporting() == 0 || $nr == 0 || ($nr == 8 && $this->stopOnNotice == false)) {

Plesk stores the maillog file in:

/usr/local/psa/var/log/

To get the FTP password of a user that is contained within Plesk, access mysql and login with the admin user name and password. Then select the psa database:

SELECT accounts.password FROM accounts INNER JOIN sys_users ON accounts.id=sys_users.account_id WHERE sys_users.login='xxxx';

Where xxxx is the user name you want the password for.

The following query will retrieve the sub-domain name, ftp username, and ftp password for a specific domain.

SELECT CONCAT(CONCAT(s.name, '.'), d.name) AS subdomain, u.login, a.password FROM subdomains AS s
JOIN domains AS d ON s.dom_id=d.id
JOIN sys_users AS u ON s.sys_user_id=u.id
JOIN accounts AS a ON u.account_id=a.id
WHERE d.name='example.com'

If you want to see all subdomains, then omit the WHERE clause.

When running the yum command to install packages, sometimes you will get a mixture of x86_64 and i386 packages. Depending on what you want to install you may need both architectures and sometimes you don't. If you only need a specific architecture then you can specify it by:

# yum install ImageMagick.x86_64

In the highly unlikely event that you ever, for whatever reason forget your password to log into Plesk, one way of recovering the password is by loging into the server via SSH.

In order to view the contents of the file that contains the admin password you will need to be able to acquire root. Once root, you just simplely need to look at the /etc/psa/.psa.shadow file.

# cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow
