Using Kentico within a Plesk installation
Is it possible to use Kentico in a server configured with Plesk?

I would like to manage the server with Plesk and benefit from all its features and still use all Kentico features.

It would be great if this would work, it would take away a lot of hosting issues and can a Kentico site more secure without modifying Kentico itself by adding mail-monitoring, anti-hammering etc.

A guide how to setup Kentico within Plesk would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Jeroen

Hi,

In general I do not see any problems. There were only some issues with access permissions (also discussed on our Forums) and then with the IIS confirguration, but this is on the hosting side.

Hello Juraj, thanks for your response.

Can you please post a link to the topic, if it's already discussed? I searched for it but found little items on it.

TIA,

Hi,

http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=18&Thread=00006255 is the thread. I just searched for PLESK on our sites.

I have looked also in ticket history and some of the customers were considering using PLESK and then they have not reported any problems.

Best Regards,

RE:Using Kentico within a Plesk installation
Hi,

That was indeed the only thread I could find and it only mentions the word PLESK in a username context, it does not really tell me about how it works and if it works well.

But you tell me that there are other customers using Kentico in a Plesk environment. Would it be possible to contact one of them and ask them to contact me about how this works?

Perhaps some more guidance on the site on how to make it work, will convince other people to start using Kentico as well. At this moment, if I use Plesk, I'm not aware that it's compatible.

TIA,
Jeroen

Hi,

I am sorry but I am not allowed to provide you with the contacts.

Moreover, could you please just try to use CMS with PLESK? Unfortunately we do not have resources to test every environment and every hosting provider. If you will encounter any problems, you can contact us and we will try to help you this certain issue.
