 | View Full Version : Made major mistake in choosing PLESK wmaster2 05-13-2003, 06:22 PM with the all these interface, even the trivial stuff become complicated, I have read pages on how to setup DNS etc, and still not sure what to do while I could have just edited some text files by hand. This is a major hassle. My question is, if I manually edit the named.conf files, will PLESK screw it up afterwards? sitekeeper 05-13-2003, 06:26 PM It would depend on what you are changing. Make a backup copy and try it, you have nothing to loose. BiGWill 05-13-2003, 06:28 PM yes! it'll be overwritten every time you change stuff in the CP itself. A good starting point are the Flash Tutorials here: http://www.plesk.com/Product/PSA/flash-tutorials-50.php & the FAQ: http://www.plesk.com/Support/faq.php and ofcourse the Forum of Plesk! http://forum.plesk.com/ I don't regret going with Plesk... it has a nice interface and is really stable! wmaster2 05-13-2003, 06:28 PM I think the PLESK way of doing things is simply distort-minded. I want t manage DNS, so let me just do DNS, like the cobalt interface. It seems it got whole bunch of stuff messed together. wmaster2 05-13-2003, 06:30 PM Originally posted by sitekeeper It would depend on what you are changing. Make a backup copy and try it, you have nothing to loose. Normally, one have the /etc/named.conf file and bunch of zone specific files under /etc/named/, or var/named/, but PLESK has the zone files under something called /var/named/run-root/..... what's going on? sitekeeper 05-13-2003, 06:42 PM Most of the BIG control panels do things different then a plain white box install of RedHat Linux. When you use acontrol panel like cpanel or plesk you no longer have a Redhat Linux box, you have a Plesk or cpanel box. BiGWill 05-13-2003, 06:51 PM RTFM! :D :rolleyes: :stickout: ;) wmaster2 05-13-2003, 06:59 PM Ok, I just copied the zeone files to under /var/named/run-root/var/ and it works, just hope PLESK won't detsoy them BiGWill 05-13-2003, 07:04 PM better keep a backup :) MattF 05-13-2003, 07:05 PM You could always chattri +i the file if you aren't going to change it via the CP anytime soon.

That lets those security freaks know write off-hand that plesk is security oriented. run-root represents the chrooted environment. Sort of a paradox. Does anyone know if CPanel runs it's DNS service in a chrooted environment? |
