Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Change Installation Path Of WordPress Application
Nov 5, 2014
I have installed the Wordpress application. The wordpress url is "server.com/wordpress", but I want to change it to something like "server.com/myblog".
In Plesk, the installation path cannot be changed (at least, it is not under "Change Settings").
Changing the Wordpress installation itself is not that difficult (renaming the folder in httpdocs and changing the siteurl and home parameter in the database), however, in Plesk still the old installation path is shown, and the Plesk interface to Wordpress obviously does not work any more.
How can I change the Wordpress installation path in Plesk?
Version Parallels Plesk v12.0.18_build1200140606.15 os_Ubuntu 12.04
OS Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
On server are many Wordpress installations after scan all these were added however about 90% have this tool-tip message "A WordPress installation was previously detected at this path, but it is not operating properly now." How to correct and manage these installations
Wordpress is becoming more and more integrated with Plesk which makes it quite easy to setup a new domain for someone and install Wordpress so he can start.
Often this Wordpress site has to be developed and a better looking site is already available.
By default Wordpress installs in a subfolder /wordpress (I know you can change it by choosing "custom install"). After a while that website is ready for publishing.
To move that website I will have to move the running site to a subfolder and then move the content of /wordpress to the root. This is not sufficient. I then have to do a search and replace on the /wordpress and wordpress/ and replace it with /
No problem there....
But then I have lost Wordpress from the Plesk interface.....
What's the most elegant way to move a Plesk managed Wordpress site?
I don't mind if it stays in its folder (maybe preferrable?), as long as the user doesn't see that "/wordpress" in its URL.
If a Plesk admin wants to install Wordpress, the installation always fails.
1. Select Server Management -> Tools & Settings -> Security -> Security Policy 2. Select (*) Very strong 3. Confirm with OK 4. Select Hosting Services -> Domains 2. Select Domain 3. Select Button Install Apps 4. Select Wordpress in All Available Applications 5. Select Install 6. Error message is shown! Error: Installation of WordPress at http://lyl-canbys.de/blog failed. Your password is not complex enough. According to the server policy, the minimal password strength is Very strong. To improve the password strength, use numbers, upper and lower-case characters, and special characters like !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~
But the password was complex enough. with 20 numbers+charcters+special chars!
I i lower Plesks Security Policy to (*) Strong, the Wordpress installation works. But lowering Security with password length 8 is not desireable.
In the Wordpress Toolkit several WP installs appear with exclamation mark and title: "A Wordpress installation was previously detected at this path, but it is not operating properly".
My wordpress installation in plesk some times give me:
[Sun Apr 12 14:26:08 2015] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server [Sun Apr 12 14:26:08 2015] [error] Premature end of script headers: index.php
I have a clean installation of Parallels Plesk on my server, and I installed wordpress on two of my domains. I'm scanning for installations through Plesk Admin, and it shows two installations with empty name and the toolkit is not functional at all. Check the attached screenshot.
I found out a easy way to update the Database name of a WP installation through phpmyadmin panel, However I can't seem to update or refresh the Parallels WP Settings with correct information. Is this a bug?
This is how to reproduce:
From phpMyAdmin select the database you want to select, in the tabs there's one called Operations, Go to the rename section.
Update the user privileges to the new Database name and remove the old privileges (save) Then manually update the wp-config file which contains the 'Database name' (save) Then goto Parallels Plesk > Websites & Domains> WordPress Installations > Change Settings
Here you should notice the Change Settings for the WordPress Installation still contains the old Database name.
I recently changed the main domain url from website.com to www.website.com, this resulted in 404-errors when i navigated to wordpress...
I found a solution on the internet and updated the records with phpmyadmin [URL] ....
When I click on Login at the the WordPress Installations I'm still being navigated to the old website url. It supprices me that there is no option to change it on Plesk level after wordpress is deployed.
How can i change or update the wordpress path once it is installed in Plesk?
I'm using CentOS 6.2, maybe there is a config file or an database for Plesk?
To be clear i don't mean the wp-config.php admin password for mysql but the wordpress Plesk admin account that is associated with Log in button
For some reason my user has lost his password and is not able to use the Wordpress forgot password - wizard form at the page where you normally logged on.
I have tried to reset the password via Change Account on the WordPress Installation and it came back with the message
Error: Unable to find the specified administrator account in WordPress. Specify the username of your administrator's account in WordPress. This account will be associated with Plesk.
I have tried to add another admin via MySQL with this [URL] ... and that didn't work either.
I'm pretty new to Plesk and would like to setup a testing wordpress website without changing DNS yet. I assume I need to create a webspace for it. But do I use actual domain or an IP address? Wordpress ties up to the domain as far as I know.
Getting the following when trying to install DNN. A similar thing also happened when trying to install WordPress.
Error: Installation of DotNetNuke at http://domain.com/dnn failed. Non-zero exit status returned by script. Output stream: 'Error during MSSQL version checking [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. '. Error stream: 'Error during MSSQL version checking [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. '.
When it happened with WordPress, I tried the install again and it worked the second time. However, with DNN it does not seem to be working after a second try. Yes, the MS SQL server does exist and is ready to provide.
whenever one of my customers tries to install an application from the application installer, they get an error that looks like this.

I have several users using WordPress that has been installed using the Plesk panel. They want to change the directory that WordPress is installed to. I know if that is done that WordPress will no longer be able to be managed or updated using the Panel. Is there any way to change the folder structure so that this application can still be managed by Plesk?
I setup PHP support to Run as FastCGi Application, and i setup the memory_limit=32M in DOMAIN/etc/php.ini, then i create a php program with ini_set('memory_limit','128M'), it does not according to my settings are limited. How can i limit it , only just use the disable_function = 'ini_set' ? or Was there other methods ? Because, When PHP runs as apache module , i can use the php_admin_value in vhost.conf to limit what i want , it does not limit everything like this (disable_function).
I have a client on a dedicated IP, today we needed to downgrade the web hosting plan. As the web hosting plan puts users on a default shared IP, this plan change also changed the dedicated IP to the shared one causing some propagation issues for a small period of time.
I have contacted WHMCS about this asking if they had a way of changing the clients plan but keeping the IP address intact as this could lead to some very undesirable outcomes. They explained that it is not their fault and to contact Parallels.
I know I can change the plan directly in Plesk however by initiating the plan change via WHMCS, everything is automated.
When I try to install Magento 1.9.1.1 I get the error message;Error: Installation of magento at http://mydomain.com/ failed. Non-zero exit status returned by script.Can't seem to get any more information into what might be causing this issue...
