- Set
Default siteoption toNone
To customize the default page:
- Log in to Plesk server via SSH

How can add support php in /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/
Hello, Luis
Plesk does not have such functionality at the moment, however, you can suggest php support for the Default Server Page by referring to the following link: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions
The top-ranked suggestions are likely to be included in the next versions of Plesk.
The comment about php support is important. My case was...
I wanted to change the default behaviour of the default site to redirect to another site, and so I renamed the default <index.html> to <index.html.old> and dropped in a .php file. This lead me quickly discovering php wasn't supported for the default site, so...
I created a small <index.html> to use a META REFRESH plus a JavaScript window.location.replace to do the same job and removed the index.php, BUT... the default site continued try and serve <index.php>, so I was left with either:
Even if I explicitly requested /index.html, the default site INSISTED on trying to serve <index.php> with one of the above outcomes depending on whether the file existed or not.
Is this caching by nginx causing the problem? I cured it by creating a subscription in the name of the default site, but I can't understand why the server be 'fixated' on serving <index.php> even when the file no longer existing and there was an <index.html>. Not even the original default <index.html> would work...only one of the two error in trying to serve <index.php>!
@Lain Could you provide the OS and Plesk version details?
Hi @Alexander
Version 17.5.3 Update #43, last updated on Mar 11, 2018 04:30 PM
Hi Lain, I have reproduced this behavior on a test server and discussed it with the developers. It is not recommended to replace default index.html with index.php at /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs as we cannot guarantee Plesk functionality in that case. I have updated the article.
Strange that using a php page as the default server page should cause problems with the Plesk instalation. It's not as if it does much other than say it's a default page on a Plesk machine.
I presume you can change the html without causing Plesk problems?

You can do it with help of this command:
