Windows 2003 plesk 8.4 – IP address conflict

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

While working on a windows 2003 server which has a plesk 8.4 control panel, I got the following error:

Unable to add ip xx.xx.xx.xx with mask 255.255.255.0 to interface PublicNetwork, WMI error code 42
Execute file name: C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\ifmng.exe

This means that there is an IP conflict, to get this fixed – you have to contact your dedicated server provider and ask them to remove the IP address or to provide a new IP address.

Plesk: Enable allow_url_fopen for a domain

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Assuming that you have a plesk dedicated server and a domain hosted on it, and you need allow_url_fopen to be “ON” (enabled). Just follow the below steps to get this done.

Create a vhost.conf file under /home/httpd/vhost/domain.com/conf and add the following code.


<Directory /home/httpd/vhost/domain.com/httpdocs/>
php_admin_value allow_url_fopen On
</Directory>

Once done, you will have reconfigure plesk and the command to do so is:

root# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com

Now, restart apache on the server.

That’s it!

Upgrade from plesk 8.3 to 8.4 on windows 2003 server

Friday, June 20th, 2008

You have a windows server with plesk 8.3 and are looking to upgrade it to plesk 8.4 , to do this first download the installer from here on your server.

Then install it and follow the steps, this may take time depending on number of domains present on the server. Once finished you are requested to reboot the server and then try access plesk with port 8443 and you will see that you have plesk 8.4 login screen.

This worked perfectly for us, try at your own risk :)
