Linking PHP as an Apache HTTPD module makes them inseparable.
This is not without problems:
Indeed, many PHP libraries aren't threadsafe, so it's essential to use the prefork-mpm module for HTTPD 2.x in production to implements a non-threaded, pre-forking web server that handles requests in a manner similar to HTTPD 1.3.
But this approach strongly affects ...

Most shared hosting providers have a control panel. Most control panels allow you to change file permissions through some sort of file manager. Windows uses a different way of doing permissions to Unix servers, so you may need to give read/write permission to a user called IUSR_machinename for Wordpress to work properly.
For Plesk it's: Websites & ...

There are a couple of ways to do this:
One way is to unsuspend it and then move all the site files into a subdirectory. That means that every page will return a 404 error. You then edit your custom error page for that error to show the users the custom page.
Or you can put it in maintenance mode and edit your 503 custom error page.

I think Plesk includes only one NS in default template, because Plesk itself serves as NS server by default and second NS is supposed to be pointing at another machine (though it is commonly tricked). Unless a hosting provider configures it for you (which they are supposed to do), you can have two choices:
(trick) Give your Plesk server one more name ...

for other's reference, the site builder link is hidden if your license does not support the "power pack" (godaddy, may be named different under different providers).
You can view your license by going to server -> license management
simply look for websites by web presence builder, if the value is limited to 0, you need to talk to your provider. Godaddy's ...

It is very simple to generate self signed certificate..here is the forum post citing this details
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?33510-How-to-Create-Self-signed-SSL-Certificate-for-Dummies
It's simple. Log in as the admin, go to "server", then "certificate". Fill in the information and press "self signed". Then you should wait a minute or so ...

You can use a self-signed certificate in this case. If you are using a shared IP, you will still have to purchase a dedicated IP for your website.
Self-signed certificates can be used but the problem with them is that your visitors will see a warning regarding the website while browsing the website.
Personally, I would suggest you to get an SSL ...

Plesk Panel 9.5 is extremely old software. Its support will soon be terminated by vendor. If your provider can upgrade you to more up2date version like 10.x or 11.0, you can solve the task very easy - there is a textarea to copy/paste all your recipients (just one recipient per line)

OK after investigating this is something you can't do in Plesk control panel but it can be done via SSH.
You can easily create email address using SSH using the Command Line Utilities for Plesk these are normally located in /PRODUCT_ROOT_D/bin and /PRODUCT_ROOT_D/bin/mail.sh
The mail command line tool supports:
enabling or disabling mail service on a ...

Make sure the IP you put into your host file is the one Plesk is actually using. This is an easy mistake to make if your server has multiple IP addresses.
Also, make sure you put www.domain.com and not just domain.com in your host file. It will need to match exactly to what you wish to test with.
If you have a later version of Plesk with the Nginx proxy. ...

Cloudfront is a CDN. It will pull content from your EC2 server (or any other server) to multiple geographic locations around the us. Its only purpose is to speed up your site. It really only works properly for static content. (Javascript, images, css). You cant move all your www data from ec2 to cloudfront.
If your www data is all static (which in ...

If you use Plesk there is usually a server section where you can configure which Apache modules should be activated. "rewrite" or "mod_rewrite" is the one to activate.
Then it depends on your software or scripts to make actually use of this module.
[Edit]
Do you have the url rewrite extension available or can it be installed? See

Plesk grabs HTTP stats from access_log file of Apache. As I understand there is no way to put incoming HTTP traffic in access_log. Even if I upload huge file to the server, access_log would only report a size of server response, but not a size of incoming request. So incoming HTTP traffic cannot really be tracked through Plesk. You would need some additional ...

This is not supported natively in Plesk, but you can probably make a workaround if you have root access (assuming you are on Linux) or can contact your hosting provider for this trick.
Create another user (i.e. "protector") and transfer directory ownership to him
useradd protector
chown protector dir/
Then change directory rights so that only file owner ...

What do you think the problem is?
No idea, you provided almost no useful information.
But when I try to browse there it doesn't work
Please define doesn't work.
For example do you get an error about the Domain not existing? Perhaps try using nslookup or some tool to verify that the DNS records for the domain was created properly. What happens ...

All you should need to do is change the nameservers for the domain name to point to your new server. This may require changing the nameservers completely or just changing the A records for the domain name. If you set the domain name up properly on the new server through Plesk then once the DNS change has propagated you should be able to see the site on your ...

Try this: http://drupal.org/project/mailchimp
It integrates mailchimp with drupal, so you will need to sign up for that.
Please note: I haven't actually tried it, I just found it on drupal.org and it looked like it would do the job.

Presumably you have run some kind of CMS installer through the site preview link. the installer has set the host name based on the link you where using to access the site at the time. the CMS system you are using should have the hostname set in a config file or admin panel that you can change from the preview URL to the correct domain URL.
You can avoid ...

No. It is actually a bit more complicated then that. As far as I understood the question, when Apache is treating a request it loads all the PHP library (in case of PHP as Apache Module). Even when executing a static ressource request. So it consumes a lot of memory.
The other solution is a light weighted front httpserver. It will executes static request ...

A few other notes:
you must have root ssh access enabled on your DV 3.5 for the migration to work as listed
If you have modified the ssh access port, you must change it on the migration page regardless of what MT says.
When I ran my DV 3.5, we had this disabled and it took quite awhile to realize what the hangups were.

So tried to do all this with the documentation, but it is lacking in detail and accuracy. Plus, all the error messages their applications return are worthless.
Oh, and I have to say that this is the last time I embark on a project with Plesk.
Instead, my support folks had to unpack (untar?) the files so I could access this XML file.

You can have full functioning site preview starting from Plesk 10.4 (PHP, Javascript and whatever else you need). It needs to be enabled on the server - so if in shared hosting, you will depend on you hosting provider. Checkout "Setting up Website Preview" for details. You will need some DNS zone for previews though...
You may also be interested in "staging ...

if you are suing Plesk on the windows server, try to do the following via remote desktop:
"%plesk_bin%\ftpmng.exe --remove-vhost -vhost-name=domain.com
"%plesk_bin%\ftpmng.exe --reconfigure-vhost -vhost-name=domain.com
Thus , your domain will get deleted from the server configuration and will be added buy the second command to the server.

You must have either a dns cache serving you an IP or a private DNS server giving you an IP for the domain.
Publicly the domain has no IP associated with it. The error you're seeing (I'm assuming in a browser) comes from a webserver giving back an error - so it's at least finding the domain and trying to do something. When I try to go to that domain I just ...

Almost perfect !
But you should have this:
mydomain.com. NS ns.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. NS ns2.mydomain.com.
The rest is OK (Be sure that the SOA line exist on the configuration files)
#OnLinuxMachine> dig soa mydomain.com
If you need www.mydomain.com to work, you should add this
www.mydomain.com. A 83.138.xxx.xxx (PUBLIC IP ...
