This was incredibly helpful, as is a lot of your site. Thanks for providing the information so us Admins aren't constantly having to reinvent the wheel.

Honestly, I feel there is a lot of good info here but is a bit over my head. I am interested in IP Changer Software that allows anonymous surfing. I am sure you technical advice is great for server adminstrators.

In version 8.6 you will also need to run: mysql -Ns -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa -e 'select name from domainaliases' | awk '{print "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update " $1 }' | sh so that the domain aliases get updated as well. Run that command directly after the similar one above

I have a reason to reset all of the FTP passwords, is there a way to do this using a similar method?

I can make the changes in the DB, the thing I'm not sure about would be what to run from the command line to update things on the system.

Thanks,
JAKE

For updating IPs in bulk, I just use:

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain --update domain.com -ip 000.000.000.000

I just use a shell script to loop through the domains as required. Then run websrvmng to make sure everything is update.

I'm not sure of a reliable way to add domains in a bulk fashion outside of Plesk. You can certainly make the database adjustments manually, but you'd need to run quite a few command line applications before the changes would be made on the filesystem, in Apache, qmail, etc.

Hi, just want to comment that your tips are great! I used the mysql command to recover all mail accounts and passwords on my plesk vps.

I'm just wondering if you know which plesk (psa) tables would need modifications in order to bulk insert domains under one client account. I do it by hand but when I need to add many domains takes ages to: add domain, add ftp user, add database, etc, etc.

Mister Major, sorry if this post-question does not correspond to your plesk repository.

Very useful web site, thanks for helping out all of other webmasters!
