Extending Parallels Plesk Panel Capabilities with Modules and Add-ons (Linux Hosting)

You can extend the functionality of your Panel without upgrading it. This can be done by installing additional functional components, available as add-on modules developed by Parallels or third parties.

The modules can be easily installed, removed, and configured directly from the Panel.

To obtain add-ons developed by Parallels partners, visit our online store at http://www.parallels.com/store/plesk/partners/.

The links to the online store are also available from the following locations of your Server Administration Panel:

To install an add-on module:

  1. Go to Modules > Manage Modules.
  2. Click Add Module.
  3. Click Browse to locate the required add-on module package file on your local computer or network, select it and click OK.

Before you begin to use the add-on module, you should configure it. Configuration steps vary depending on each module.

To configure an add-on module:

  1. Go to Modules > Manage Modules.
  2. In the list of installed modules, click the module's name presented as link.

Some modules might require you to install a license key in order to be able to use them. You can check out the terms of usage on the module developers' website, or look them up in the Panel (Modules > Manage Modules): for each module installed, there is a corresponding list entry accompanied by an icon, which shows whether a license key is required.

There are three types of icon that indicate the following:

- the module does not require a license key.

- the module requires a license key, and the key is installed.

- the module requires a license key, but the key is not installed.

If a module is provided by Parallels and it requires an additional license key, you can obtain it from Parallels as described in the section Installing Additional License Keys for Panel Add-ons. In other cases, you should obtain the information on installation of license keys for modules from the module developers.

To remove an add-on module:

  1. Go to Modules > Manage Modules.
  2. Select a checkbox corresponding to the module you want to remove, and click Remove.
  3. Confirm the removal and click OK.
