Is there a way i can put a welcome page to new domains, a parking page on plesk?
Even if the domain resolves to your server, its dead until you create a hosting on plesk. If its just resolving then nothing comes up.

I have it set in Plesk so that any domain pointed at the IPs will show something like this

How can i do that?

Look under Server > Skeleton

Do you mean the skeletons on plesk?
But i want to show a welcome page, even without activating the domain on plesk, the skelentons as far as i know are when you created a domain on plesk.

See /home/httpd/vhosts/default/htdocs and /home/httpd/vhosts/default/httpsdocs
Those show up for anything that doesnt have hosting enabled for but is pointed at your IPs.

Yes i think you are right, i remember now, on another server, plesk showed a page where it says hosting was not configured if domain was not activated. Thats strange, but this server doesnt show that page you mention, domain pointing to server are just dead instead of showing that page.

As in the DNS is working, but apache returns nothing?

Dns are working of course, i have several domains pointing and working on my server. But domains that are not set up on plesk dont even have a ping.
Now that i remember, the page you say is the same one that appears when you suspend a domain on plesk. For sometime now i did noticed that, when i suspend a domain, its dead, just like the domains that dont have a hosting account, instead of showing a default page.
Yes, apache doesnt return anything. The domain seems like it doesnt existe at all not even with a ping or traceroute. Thats weard. But when you activate a hosting, it goes live in the second. It seems plesk is killing even the connection or something when domain is not set up.

Are you hosting the dns for this domain in plesk or externally?

If you only pointed the domains to your nameservers on plesk box, the domain has not been assigned to an ip so it will not resolve to any ip and apache will not catch it.

Let me know if you need more help.

thanks

The Dns are on the same box, there are set up on the same plesk machine. Is that the problem?

what i think is occuring is this:

You are setting the name servers at your register to point to your name servers on your plesk box.

Let say the domain is foo.com when you make a request for this in the browser it will try to determine the ip address for this site via the authoriative name server which is located on your plesk box, But since you have not added entries for foo.com in your name server it cannot resolve to an ip address so it never gets to apache.

Let me know if you more help.

Yes thats correct. Domains are poiting to my DNS, wich on my Registrar are pointing to my server. What i dont understand then is why on another server it was working.
So what can i do? Maybe create a forwarding DNS or something, i need domains to have a parked page. On another box i had, it was working ok, even when you suspendend a domain a Default page appeared. So why now when i suspended a domain they have the same syntoms like the domains that are pointing to the server, when you suspend a domain its dies, and im sure plesk is not deleting the DNs entries. When you activate it again it goes live again.

still could not figure it out.
Yes DNS are on the same box, as the new domains pointing to the box. What jester said, that what i want, i already have the skeletons customized, but they will only show once you ACTIVATE a domain on plesk. This domains i mean are not activated, they are just pointing to the DNS, but on plesk they are not.
If i just wanted to show the skeleton page then i would just create every single domain on plesk. Buts thats exactly what i want to avoid, i want a page to show up without activating anything. Since domains are registered with my defaults DNS pointing the box, once a domain is registered it should show in the minute a welcome without any human intervention. I asked this tons of times even on registrars, they also just reply you have to activate domains on a server to show a page. Thats pretty hard to believe, since i dont think Godaddy or Register.com activates every domain on a server, unless its an automated script. Also how is it for example when i point for example a domain to any provider like enom, or esedo, just by poiting the domain you will see a welcome page, they dont even know wich domains points or wich doesnt. They should resolve on a server, unless i got it all wrong, a server could resolve any domain without activating it on a server. Correct me if im wrong. But i just want an automated welcome page. If they do have to be activated some way then how can i automate that via a script or apache. I saw this parking services where they park pages for you and you win money, buts thats just the same problem again, you have to manually submit the domains.

Thats a lot of text...

I just setup a test domain to test it out
It is not setup in Plesk (not listed in Plesk)
http://plesk.pegasusx.uni.cc/
And it shows the skeleton page.

So, if i just point a domain to your server DNS it will show up your skeleton page?

Oh, you want DNS to resolve without setting it up in Plesk. I just had afraid.org point the subdomain at my servers IP.
If you want that, you'll need to change your BIND DNS to resolve all domains that arent already on your server to your servers IP. You probably can google that or something.

Thats safe right?, only domains pointing to my DNS will resolve without setting them up on the server. I did a google search but could not find anything.

That is safe provided your server isnt using itself as the resolver and others arent using yours as resolvers either.

I have no idea on how to do this since I've never done this, but I would think its possible. It is possible to have BIND block recursive lookups of zones not on the server.

This seems to work:

I want the same. Just to point DNS and you will see a parking page. I will try to contact the author of that webpage.
