 | View Full Version : ENSIM/Plesk Questions BowNanC 03-28-2002, 10:49 AM Hi, I was wondering if 1. Ensim and Plesk allow you to manage subdomains. 2. Upgrading the server's utilities (like kernel, php, perl, etc) manually will affect Ensim and Plesk? Thanks XDude 03-28-2002, 12:17 PM 1. Yes, but Plesk counts each sub-domain towards your 200 domain limit :(. 2. Not sure, I havn't done it yet. DigitalXWeb 03-28-2002, 10:13 PM Question 2. Ensim has it's own rpm and kernel versions so you have to be careful as to what you upgrade and what you dont you are limited as to what you can and cannot upgrade without breaking Ensim. Plesk on the other hand is more modular so yes you can upgrade your kernel, php without concern. Plesk also uses it's own version of perl so in order to update perl you would have to do it with a tarball and not an RPM. This will allow you to update the system perl without affecting the version used in Plesk. hoot 03-29-2002, 07:02 PM With plesk there is a quite simple way of making it so that you can have inlimited subdomains for each domain so that this way you only are limited to different domains but you don't have different ftp access to each sub you just have for example http://sub.domain.com that shows the files in www.domain.com/sub ... Thats the solution we chose ... :) jstanden 03-29-2002, 10:40 PM Originally posted by hoot With plesk there is a quite simple way of making it so that you can have inlimited subdomains for each domain so that this way you only are limited to different domains but you don't have different ftp access to each sub you just have for example http://sub.domain.com that shows the files in www.domain.com/sub ... Thats the solution we chose ... :) We looked at the same thing, it worked very well. Only downside to applying that to the server globally from an existing Plesk setup is it'll break the included IMP Webmail if people are using the webmail.domain.com setup (we ended up mapping to /webmail) and it'll break any existing subdomains: i.e. support.yourcompany.com Definitely a great workaround for subdomains counting toward your 200-300 domain license. I never agreed with that, or the fact forwarding (yourdomain.net -> yourdomain.com) counted toward the total as well. hoot 03-31-2002, 06:40 PM Hi jstanden We didn't have this problem when we first installed it domain by domain (in the vhost.conf files) but we had this problem when we installed it on the whole server. what line did you add to the httpd.conf file to dop the mapping? hoot 555 04-01-2002, 10:52 AM Originally posted by hoot With plesk there is a quite simple way of making it so that you can have inlimited subdomains for each domain so that this way you only are limited to different domains but you don't have different ftp access to each sub you just have for example http://sub.domain.com that shows the files in www.domain.com/sub ...
