Hi,

When I go to http://server:8443 I get re-directed to https://localhost.localdomain:8443/

However, when I go to https://server:8443 it works. Where is the Plesk directive defined within Apache?

The server running on port 8443 is httpsd (Plesk web interface) and separate from the httpd (apache) that serves your websites. What do you want to change?

Normally if you go to HTTP on port 8443, it'll re-direct you to HTTPS. I have several installs that will do this without any issues. However, in this instance, the HTTP is not re-directing to the hostname, instead it re-directs to https://localhost.localdomain:8443/ (exactly as you see it here).

I need to know which of the conf files retains the directives for this, so I can correct it.

What is the output of the 'hostname' command on your server? Is the hostname of your machine set to 'localhost.localdomain'? What is the hostname set to in Plesk (Server > Server Preferences > Full hostname)?

The hostname is set to what its supposed to be on the OS and Plesk: L101 I'm pretty sure this is related to the web server.

Your regular apache doesn't listen on port 8443, it's the internal Plesk webserver that's handling that.

okay the question now becomes, is there a way to correct the settings with the Plesk web server?

I think it's the ServerName directive in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf. I believe Plesk sets this upon install, but maybe your hostname was still set to localhost.localdomain when you installed Plesk?

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. The directive was using localhost.localdomain, which tells me that Plesk was setup using that hostname, then the hostname was modified.

I believe Plesk should also update this file when changing the hostname in Plesk, but I haven't tested this.

Just tried it, it doesn't change the value for ServerName
