Apache and Nginx Configuration Files

Apache configuration files

All Plesk-specific Apache configuration files are included in the Apache system configuration (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf by default) via file zz010_psa_httpd.conf using the Include directive. The file zz010_psa_httpd.conf can be located in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ or /etc/httpd/conf.d/ depending on the operating system.

The following table represents the hierarchy of Apache configuration files.


`/etc/httpd/httpd.conf`
	`/etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/server.conf`
			`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/@`<domain_name>`.conf -> /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain_name>/conf/httpd_ip_default.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/horde.conf`
			`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/horde/`<domain_name>`_webmail.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/roundcube.conf`
			`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/roundcube/`<domain_name>`_webmail.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/atmail.conf`
			`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/atmail/`<domain_name>`_webmail.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/@`<domain_name>`.conf -> /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain_name>/conf/last_httpd.conf`
			`/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/file_sharing.conf*`
			`/var/www/vhosts/system/`<domain_name>`/conf/siteapp.d/*.conf`
			`/var/www/vhosts/system/`<domain_name>`/conf/vhost_ssl.conf`
			`/var/www/vhosts/system/`<domain_name>`/conf/vhost.conf*`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/forwarding/`<domain_name>`.conf`
		`/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/wildcards/@`<domain_name>`.conf -> /var/www/vhosts/system/_<domain_name>/conf/last_httpd.conf`

On this diagram:

	- System configuration file.
	- Files generated by Plesk.
	- Files generated by Plesk from configuration templates.
	- Files created by user and containing custom configuration directives.

File file_sharing.conf is not generated, but shipped with Plesk.

Files from siteapp.d/*.conf are shipped with corresponding APS packages.

The placeholder <domain-name> is the domain name of the website for which the configuration is generated.

nginx configuration files

All Plesk-specific nginx configuration files are included in the nginx system configuration (/etc/httpd/nginx.conf) via file zz010_psa_nginx.conf using the Include directive. The file zz010_psa_nginx.conf is located in /etc/nginx/conf.d/.

The following table represents the hierarchy of nginx configuration files.


`/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
	`/etc/nginx/conf.d/zz010_psa_nginx.conf`
		`/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf`
		`/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/@`<domain_name>`.conf -> /var/www/vhosts/system/`<domain_name>`/conf/last_nginx.conf`
			`/var/www/vhosts/system/`<domain_name>`/conf/vhost_nginx.conf`
		`/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/forwarding/`<domain_name>`.conf`

On this diagram:

	- System configuration file.
	- Files generated by Plesk.
	- Files generated by Plesk from configuration templates.
	- Files created by user and containing custom configuration directives.

The placeholder <domain-name> is the domain name of the website for which the configuration is generated.
