Introduction
Plesk Reconfigurator is a utility designed to assist you with the following tasks:
- Changing IP addresses the Plesk server is running on. This is useful when, for instance, you are moving your Plesk box to a new datacenter, and need to reconfigure Plesk to run on new IP addresses.
- Moving the directory where virtual hosts reside to another location on the same or another partition. This may be useful when there is not enough disk space on the current partition to house new virtual hosts, and you wish to move them all to a new larger volume.
- Moving the directory where Plesk backup files are stored to another location on the same or another partition. This should be used when, for instance, there is not enough disk space on the current partition to house new backup files, and you wish to move them all to a new larger volume.
- Moving the directories that store user mailboxes and all relevant data to another location on the same or another partition. Use this option when there is insufficient amount of disk space on the current partition to serve a larger amount of mailboxes, and you wish to move them all to a new larger volume.
- Repairing Plesk installation. You can use this to correct the problems with mail delivery caused by the changes made to DNS server addresses, restore internal accounts required for proper functioning of Plesk, Plesk services, and set the proper security settings for files and folders created and used by the Plesk software.
- Correcting disk permissions. This option allows correcting root directory permissions in case they are misconfigured and cause improper Plesk functioning.
