Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Windows

Symptoms

In order to make certain web applications work with Plesk on a server, it is necessary to customize permissions for those folders. However, after Parallels Plesk is upgraded, these permissions are usually reverted to their default statuses, and it is needed to customize them again.

Resolution

Create an additional file with custom rules and put it into the %plesk_dir%\etc\DiskSecurity folder, as it described in Plesk Advanced Administration Guide:

    Once you have made necessary modifications to the security metadata file, run the ApplySecurity.exe utility to apply the security rules to Windows objects.

    For information about using the ApplySecurity.exe utility, consult Plesk for Microsoft Windows: Reference for Command-Line Utilities at http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-win-cli/45411.htm. ApplySecurity.exe is stored under "%plesk_dir%\admin\bin64"

    So how exactly do we reload them? Do we need to reboot the server, run a script, reconfigure the website, use a command line utility...?
