When I create a new domain in Plesk (6.5, Win 2003) it creates an index.html containing



I know I can change the index.html file by simply uploading a different one via FTP, but is there any way I can change the default, so that it says something like "This website is being developed by Wonderful Webs Ltd"?

TIA

Check the Plesk forum. I am sure there is a template being used so it is an issue of finding it.

One thing you could do is to RDC into your machine, start up the 'Search' function in Windows 2003 and use it to search for some keywords you find in the Plesk initial index page then open that document and paste your customized contents in there and see if it works. Remember to keep a backup of the original file just in case.

This default index.html page is at:

/home/httpd/vhosts/.skel/0/httpdocs/

Just change it

That might be where it is located on a *nix server but he did mentioned he is using Windows.

you want to change it for every new domain you add? is that what you mean?

Thanks for the reply. I have looked on the Plesk forum and have now posted a query there. I have also searched in Windows as you suggest but can only find domain-specific files (i.e. the ones that have already been created, not the template that creates them).

Yes, this is what I want, but for the Windows version of Plesk. Thanks for your input!

Yes, that's right. When you create a new domain in Plesk, Plesk creates an index.html page saying "This is a placeholder blah blah blah". I want to have a page of my own creation come up when I create a new domain. I know I can just ftp in and replace the index.html file, but surely there must be a way to have Plesk create a "park" page automatically.

I'm quite happy to fiddle about in Windows to do this, as long as it works in Plesk afterwards.

Thanks for your input!

Well, I didn't do that before. But I think Plesk is creating it by the use of the skeletion option. If you have direct access to your Windows (like Remote Desktop), edit this file:
C:xxxvhosts.skel0httpdocsindex.html (xxx depends on your settings in Plesk which by default would be 'Inetpub' as defined by IIS.

If you open the index.html file you'll see the template. It would be:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the placeholder for domain @domain_name@. If you see this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced the index.html file.

This page has been automatically generated by Plesk.

The additional help of plesk about creating skeletion may find some useful tips in sw-soft website at plesk-7-win-advanced-features-manual.pdf (skeleton creation).
