I have gone around and around on this one, but still have not figured out a way to get the Plesk control panel to run on a specific IP address AND also run at the standard SSL port of 443.

My current problem is that if I tell the Plesk Admin server to start on the specific IP address at port 443 it says the port is already in use.

My assumption is that it is the "standard" Apache that of course is conflicting. So I go into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change the standard:
Listen 80
to:
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.1:80
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.2:80
...etc...
For all OTHER IP addresses defined on my box BESIDES the admin IP. I still get the error in /usr/local/psa/admin/log that the specified socket is in use.

I then notice that in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.include is the following:

...

Which should be the catchall for the server, so I go ahead and comment that out. Still no luck.

Anyone able to help me on this?

Thanks,
Andy

heyandy;
I've got the same problem and still could'nt resolve it. Once I shut down the first apache then plesk could work on port 443. but when I try to start it I get an error that 0.0.0.0:443 is in use !

You have to insure that your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file (for standard Apache) has the Listen directive correctly set up.
Rather than Listen 80 it should be Listen

:80

Your /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.conf should have Listen

:443

Now your /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf file should have Listen :443 and BindAddress

I just got it to work and it's great. That way I can work on it from my regular day job

BINGO!

That was what I was missing. Once I changed the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file and replaced the Listen 443 directive with IP addresses and ports everything works.

Thanks!

I'm trying to get this to work as well. I'm asuming the paths given are RPM paths? I keep getting "/etc/httpd/conf/ : No such file or directory."

Thanks,

The above paths were from a standard Rackshack RH 9.0 and Plesk 6 install. Which basically means the paths were to Redhat's RPMs. So the files I had to modify were:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf

Yea, thats what I thought. I'm still on Plesk 5, Standard install. (I have to wait for the 6.0.2 release before I can upgrade.)

That explains the difference.

I had heard some people had some luck using the following service to get around the firewall issue:

http://www.orangatango.com/home/index.ie.html

I just created an account to try it out, I am able to access the control panel using it (I could not access it at all before) but when I click the login button nothing happens. Has anyone else had any luck using this service or another like it to access the control panel?

Thanks,
Dennis
