Question

How to enable Web Presence Builder for domains in Plesk?

Answer

1. Install Web Presence Builder via Plesk Installer:

   Note: Web Presence Builder is a hidden component and is not installed by default. To install it, use the command-line instructions below.

   1.1. Connect to your Plesk server via SSH.

   1.2. Run the command:

   # plesk installer add --components sitebuilder

2. Verify that Web Presence Builder license is bound to your Plesk license:

   2.1. Log in to Plesk.

   2.2. Go to Tools & Settings > License Information.

   2.3. Check parameter Sites published with Presence Builder:

   Note: If its value is 0, the Web Presence Builder license is not bound to your Plesk license. For assistance, please contact Plesk Licensing Support team. 

3. Enable Presence Builder in Service Plan settings:

   3.1. In Plesk, go to Service Plans > click on a plan name > Resources tab.

   3.2. Find setting Sites published with Presence Builder and set a desired limit.

   3.3. Click Update & Sync.

   
   
    

4. Enable Presence Builder in Subscription settings:

   Locked subscriptions (marked with a blue lock on the Subscriptions page) or subscriptions with a Custom service plan do not sync their settings with a service plan. Check subscription status by following these steps:

   4.1. Go to Subscriptions page and search for the subscription for which Presence Builder should be enabled.

   4.2. Check the subscription status:

   • If a subscription, assigned to the service plan, has a green checkmark, it is synchronized and inherits service plan's settings. No actions are required.

      

      

   • If a subscription has a blue lock (or its service plan is Custom), it does not sync its settings with its service plan.

      

     
     Either sync this subscription with its service plan (in case of Custom plan, change the plan to an existing service plan with Presence Builder websites) or increase the Sites published with Presence Builder limit for it at Subscriptions > example.com > click on the "Customize" button on the right sidebar.

5. Verify that Presence Builder is enabled in license configuration:

   Plesk licenses may inherit server settings from Partner Central. These settings are stored in the file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/customizations.conf. Run the command below to see Presence Builder (sitebuilder) preference:

   # grep sitebuilder /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/customizations.conf

   Output:

   • If the output is empty or returns true (see below), Web Presence Builder is enabled. No actions are required.

     CONFIG_TEXT: "sitebuilder":{"enabled":true}

   • If the output returns false, Web Presence Builder is disabled:

     CONFIG_TEXT: "sitebuilder":{"enabled":false}

     To enable it, open the file in a text editor (for example, vi editor) and change the value for sitebuilder from false to true. Then save the changes and close the file.

     Note: These settings will be overwritten dirung the Plesk license update. To preserve this setting, consider to change it in license settings in Partner Central. If you are not sure how to do it, contact your Sales Manager for assistance.

6. Enable Presence Builder button in Plesk configuration:

   6.1. Open the file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini for editing:

   # plesk conf panel.ini

   6.2. Locate the section [dynamicList](if it does not exist in the file, add it manually) and add the following configuration:

   CONFIG_TEXT: [dynamicList]
   enableFeatures = sitebuilder

   6.2. Save the changes and close the file.

7. Once all the steps are complete, the Presence Builder button will appear on the Dashboard tab in domain's card:
