Question

How to configure a redirect to www and vice-versa for a website on Plesk?

Answer

Note: This option may not work for WordPress based websites and any other websites that have a predefined configuration to use www or non-www in their code. Configure such websites through their administration panel or in configs. Make sure that there are no custom rules in Domains > example.com > Apache & Nginx Settings or in .htaccess files on Linux or web.config on Windows.

  1. Log in to Plesk.

  2. Go to Domains > example.com > Hosting Settings.

  3. Set Preferred domain parameter to www.example.com:

    Setting Preferred domain prevents loopback connections in PHP scripts from working.

    The following code on domain.com works as expected only if setting Preferred domain = None, otherwise it returns a cURL error: Failed to connect to domain.it port 80: Connection refused 

    <?php
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://domain.com/');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_exec($ch);
    echo curl_error($ch);
    ?>


    dd
