10 History of Changes in CL Utilities
Plesk 7.6.x
Subscribing for mass mailing of SWsoft
In Plesk 7.6 for Windows and later, the administrator is allowed to subscribe for
mass mailing of SWsoft and to get announcements on new products, the
information about discounts, and other useful information.
ASP.NET version support on domains and subdomains
Plesk CLI now allows choosing a default version of Microsoft ASP.NET (1.1 and
2.0) for domains and subdomains with ASP.NET support.
Creating virtual subdomains
Along with physical subdomains (having their own folder structure not related to the
structure of a parent domain), Plesk now provides the opportunity to create virtual
subdomains that are physically hosted within the folder structure of the parent
domain. This approach allows direct access to resources (applications, etc.) of the
parent domain from within a virtual subdomain.
Creating virtual directories on the site
This is the newest feature supported in Plesk 7.6.1 for Windows. Now Plesk
supports virtual directories created on a site and mapping its physical folders.
Virtual directories are provided with flexible access settings, SSL support, ASP.NET
support and other useful features.
Providing support for multiple FrontPage users on a domain
For domains with FrontPage support, Plesk provides the opportunity to create
multiple additional FrontPage user accounts (extra FP accounts created in addition
to the one, FP WebAdmin). Once created, these accounts can be managed via the
administrator‟s FP account. Additional FrontPage accounts cannot be deleted by
FP WebAdmin.
Providing remote access to Plesk CP for a client via XML-based interface
Plesk can provide a client with an opportunity to create/manage/delete the client‟s
domains programmatically via a special RPC-XML based interface. This feature can
be useful for the clients selling domains via the Internet.
Extended management capabilities for Clients
The new version of Plesk for Windows provides some additional capabilities of
managing clients via CLI. Namely, now the administrator can use CLI to
allow/prohibit a client to access the client‟s Plesk via Control Panel, to manage the
client‟s IIS application pool, to set aliases for the client‟s domains, to manage the
client‟s hosting performance, and finally, to create and manage additional FTP
accounts (a new feature that allows the use of FTP accounts with access
permissions for the specified domain folders only) on the client‟s domains and
subdomains.
Managing SiteBuilder integration support on a Client and Domain
Plesk supports integration with SWsoft SiteBuilder. Thus, if any version of
SiteBuilder is integrated with Plesk and configured properly, creating a new client in
Plesk entails creating a SB user associated with this client, which is called
synchronization with SiteBuilder. Beginning with version 7.6, Plesk can integrate
SiteBuilder v.3.0 or later and the administrator can decide via CLI whether to put a
client in sync with SB or to disable SB support for this client.
