Skeletons are file structure templates, which are used for fast automatic creation of predefined virtual host content when creating physical hosting.
Skeleton file may contain the following top-level directories only:
Any other directories will be ignored during skeleton application.
Allowed skeleton file types are *.zip, *.rar, *.tgz, and *.gz tar archives.
Follow these steps to create a skeleton:
Create the required directories (available directories are: httpdocs, conf, cgi-bin, anon_ftp, and error_docs).
Place the necessary files into the directories. These files will appear in the corresponding directories of each domain that will be created and set-up on physical hosting.
Pack those directories and files into an archive file. Make sure that the skeleton directories are located in the root of the archive file and not in a subdirectory.
Now the skeleton file is ready to be uploaded.
To activate a new custom skeleton in Plesk, follow these steps:
Login to Plesk as administrator.
Select the Server shortcut in the navigation pane.
Click Skeleton.
Select the archive file that contains the skeleton. Use the Browse button to locate the desired file.
Click Send File. The new skeleton will be uploaded and activated.
Note that each new skeleton replaces the previously used one.
You can always revert to using the default skeleton. To do so, just click the Default button on the Skeleton management page. The default skeleton will replace the one currently used and will be activated.
