How to reconfigure the PleskControlPanel website in IIS

Symptoms

You need to reconfigure the PleskControlPanel website in IIS.

Resolution

The website "PleskControlPanel" in IIS is used to serve the Plesk user interface.

To reconfigure the website in IIS, use the following instructions:

Plesk for Windows 10.4.4 and newer

Plesk for Windows < 10.4.4

Plesk for Windows 10.4.4 and newer:

You can reconfigure the Plesk website using the Plesk Reconfigurator:

1. Delete the "PleskControlPanel" website from IIS.
2. Launch Plesk Reconfigurator->Repair Plesk installation->Plesk Services as administrator.

To recreate the PleskControlPanel site, execute these three commands:

• for Plesk 10.4.4 - 12.5

  "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-anonymous-access
  "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --remove-sites-cache
  "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-plesk-website
  

• for Plesk Onyx

  "%plesk_bin64%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-anonymous-access
  "%plesk_bin64%"\\websrvmng.exe --remove-sites-cache
  "%plesk_bin64%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-plesk-website
  

Plesk for Windows < 10.4.4:

1. Delete the " PleskControlPanel " website from IIS.

2. Execute the following commands in turn:

   "%plesk_bin%"\\PostInstallHelper.exe --perform --action=ChangePSACPProvider --parameters=iis
   "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-anonymous-access
   "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --remove-sites-cache
   "%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --configure-plesk-website
   

In Plesk 10.3, the option "configure-plesk-website" is not available. The following commands are required for version 10.3, while for earlier versions they can be skipped.

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="skins/branding" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%var\\branding\\panel\\skins"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="sitebuilder" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%admin\\htdocs"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="sitebuilder/sites" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%admin\\htdocs\\sites"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="sitebuilder/skins/branding" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%var\\branding\\sb\\skins"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="smb" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%admin\\smb\\application\\public"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="admin" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%admin\\panel\\application\\public"

If the "Customer and Business Manager" component is installed on your server, you will also need to execute the following commands:

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="sso-site" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%sso\\htdocs" --access-ssl-negotiate-cert=true

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="sso-relay" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%sso\\htdocs"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="HSPC" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\plugins\\htdocs" --custom-scripts=perl

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="billing/gw" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\htdocs\\gw"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="plesk-billing" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\htdocs"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="store" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\store\\htdocs"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="plesk-billing/plugin" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\htdocs\\plugin"

"%plesk_bin%"\\websrvmng.exe --add-panel-virtual-dir --vdir-name="plesk-billing/lib-themes/default/lib-billing" --physical-path="%plesk_dir%billing\\lib\\lib-themes\\default\\lib-billing"
