Plesk Panel Tutorial

[Ogier Dudley]

PannatonTanasinchaithat's actually quite dangerous as compoaer could then update components that should not be. It's much better (and safer) to target individual extensions. Performing an update of everything could render your forum inoperable.

This post probably be entitled "Plesk Install Guide without SSH access" or similar as with SSH access or access via the new terminal app from plesk it's much easier, granted not straight forward - perhaps the hardest parts are...

If you happen to know or can get in touch with the server administrator then asking them to sort out composer 2 support will be a massive benefit - it's officially supported by Plesk now (support article)

but it only really needs the below in the panel.ini and a quick update of the phar file, the biggest reason to dump composer 1 is it's horrid abuse of memory compared to composer 2 (at least on Plesk)

The PHP selection you made was for your FPM processor not CLI which depending on your operating system (OS, Distribution) tends to Plesk using the distributions PHP version - in most cases these are old and outdated.

You add the noted info (changing desired path to desired PHP version) to your bash_profile, see this article from Plesk on how to change your CLI version of Plesk depending if you are chrooted or not.

additional also, so far as I know PHP 8.1 isn't officially supported by Flarum (tho as far as i know the only issue is if display_errors On then it errors out) but if you can I would drop down to the supported PHP 8.0 - I run PHP 8.1 purely because my forum is unimportant and mostly me and my ramblings.

After entering your VPS username and password, you will be redirected to the main dashboard. The Plesk interface offers two viewing modes which you can choose via the Interface Management menu.

The Service Provider view lets you manage customers, service plans, and reseller accounts, making it suitable for a web hosting provider. In this tutorial, we will use the Power User interface as it is designed for personal use.

You can also change the mail settings from the same menu, like enabling the service and applying Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. To create emails for other domain names, navigate to Mail on the sidebar.

Plesk supports various content management systems, including WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. We will use WordPress since Plesk offers a toolkit that generates databases and admin accounts for a quicker setup process.

This setting also enables or limits features for the administrator, like action log, remote API, server reboot, and IP restriction management. You can also configure permissions for hosting, PHP, web server, mailing, and DNS management.

You will see a list of your previous backups, which you can click to restore the data. To create a new one, click Back Up, select the data, storage directory, and its type. Click OK to confirm.

To install an add-on, navigate to Extensions on the sidebar, search for the tool you need, and click Get it Free. For paid ones, you can purchase them directly from the Plesk dashboard.

Depending on your web hosting provider, you may use Plesk Onyx or Obsidian. Compared to the deprecated Onyx, Obsidian has an improved UI, more features, and regular updates.

When managed poorly, a virtual private server is prone to security vulnerabilities. Plesk offers features that help users strengthen their server security with minimal effort. Some of the notable ones include:

If you are still unsure how to use Plesk, refer to its community forum, where users can ask questions or find resources to help resolve their issues. This forum has various discussion topics, including Plesk for different operating systems, WP toolkits, and extensions.

Plesk is a web hosting control panel offering comprehensive features to simplify website management tasks. Hostinger users can purchase and install this control panel directly from their VPS operating system management menu.

To access the Plesk dashboard, enter :8443 in your web browser, replacing example with your VPS domain or IP address. Then, enter your username and password to enter the control panel.

Plesk is a web hosting control panel, similar to cPanel, used for hosting management. It typically runs on a Windows operating system and requires licensing to operate outside of offered free trials. Although Plesk is not entirely free, it provides multiple benefits for managing your websites or servers. Many of these benefits integrate into a CSM (Content Management System), which you can use to install popular website applications like WordPress, Drupal, and more.

Plesk's user management model is suited for dedicated and shared hosting to provide server administrators with the ability to set up new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, and the editing and creation of DNS entries through a web-based interface. Plesk's features and solutions include the automation and management of domain names, email accounts, web applications, programming languages, databases, and infrastructure tasks to offer a ready-to-code environment with solid security across all layers and operating systems.

Plesk supports the most popular database engines, and it is shipped with the corresponding database management tools to do so. Plesk for Linux supports MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL database servers. Plesk for Windows supports Microsoft SQL and MySQL.

The Plesk Platform includes extensions for Backup, DNS, Cloud, Security, and Server Tools. And its control panel allows its users to set up new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, edit and create DNS entries, and many more through a web-based interface.

Plesk is used and offered by thousands of Hosting companies and Cloud Service Providers around the world. These include incredibly well-established companies like GoDaddy, AWS, Google, Microsoft Azure, and many more.

Plesk's web server management tools secure and automate server and website administration as well as operations to free up time and allow developers, designers, and agencies to focus on their core businesses.

Plesk offers three licenses for use with options for both a dedicated server or a virtual server (VPS) with the choice to. Note that the dedicated server licenses are more expensive for each offering.

Plesk Web Admin Edition: Admin edition allows for the management of up to 10 domains. For basic management of simple websites, without the extended tools and features that more comprehensive editions offer.

Plesk Web Host Edition: The penultimate offering by Plesk delivers unlimited domain management to the owner. Plesk's Web Host Edition provides the ability for an administrator to also create additional reseller accounts, acting as a web host provider.

Plesk also offers a robust learning center at Plesk University. Plesk offers certifications, courses, and exams by which anyone can become a master. Pick from a multitude of topics, ranging from the Plesk Obsidian Expert platform to the SEO Toolkit offerings.

You can purchase Plesk licenses through several means, but Hostwinds provides them through our services. You can purchase the licenses from the Services and Addons section of the Hostwinds Client Portal.

To order your Plesk license through the Hostwinds Client Portal, you will need to first log into your client portal by moving to the top right of the Hostwinds.com website and clicking on the Sign in link. Once you have done so, you will be transported to the Client Portal and from here, look at the left side of the blue menu bar for the Services dropdown link. From this dropdown, click on the Order new Services link or View Available Addons link. Clicking on either of these links will take you to a page that will present a Categories drop down on the left side of the dashboard.

From there, click on the Licenses link to view a list of licenses available to you and search for a Plesk Panel license. Click the green Order Now button on the License Edition you would like to purchase and pay for the license. Once purchased, you can view all of your license credentials by going to the Services dropdown link and clicking on the My Services link. Click then on the License name or the green Manage button to the right in the same row to move to the license's information page. You will now have all the information you need to complete the rest of this tutorial.

Step 4: Click Install or Upgrade Product, select Plesk and make sure you are installing the latest stable version. Once you have done so, click "Continue" to begin the Plesk download.

Step 5: Once the latest version of Plesk finishes downloading, click "Continue" to start the installation. You must pick a Plesk administrator password to use when you log in to the admin account, which is the same as your Cloud VPS login password.

Then click "Continue" to start the installation, and once complete, click OK. Now that the installation of Plesk is complete, the Plesk Obsidian shortcut will be on your desktop. Use this to access the Plesk Server from the VPS, or go to :8443 in a different browser to access your Plesk Server remotely.

Plesk, Inc., a Russian company, created Plesk and made it publicly available in 2001. Plesk was sold to SWSoft, which changed its name to Parallels in 2008. After being purchased by Oakley Capital, it was made its own entity in 2015. Plesk is a commercial hosting automation software that automates web hosting servers. It was developed for Linux/Unix as well as Windows-based hosting service providers.

Plesk is an excellent control panel system for dedicated servers and VPS server, as its menu is easy to use. Plesk makes it so simple to administer a server that even someone with no previous experience can use it. Administrators can create site and client templates. This is basically allocating resources to domains and clients. Plesk can also be used to automate the administration and management of websites. Plesk automates many tasks and processes on one or more servers.
