Question

How to change the virtual hosts location in Plesk for Windows Server?

Answer

1. Connect to your Plesk server via RDP.
2. Start Plesk Reconfigurator at Windows Start > All Programs > Plesk.

3. In Plesk Reconfigurator, select Change Virtual Hosts location.

   
   
    

4. Specify the new location for virtual hosts and click Next.

   Note: All existing website data will be transferred to the new location.

   Note: The new location folder must be empty.

   Note: Network drives (e.g. NTFS hosted on AWS FSx) are not supported as virtual hosts location. If you wish to see this functionality in Plesk, please submit a feature request on our Product Roadmap page.

   
   
    

5. During this procedure, IIS service will be stopped and hosted websites will be unavailable. If there is a lot of existing website data to transfer, we recommend performing this operation during maintenance hours.

   If you accept this condition, click Next.
