Installing ASP.NET Web Applications

In addition to the applications from the Application Vault and , you can install ASP.NET Web application packages in the Web archive format (WAR). These Java applications are not distributed with Plesk; therefore you should obtain them separately.

To install an application on your site:

  1. On your Home page, click the domain name you need.
  2. Click ASP.NET Web Applications in the Hosting group.

    A list of applications installed on your site will be displayed.

  3. Click Install New Web Application in the Tools group. A list of site applications available for installation will be displayed. To specify which application you wish to install, select a radio button corresponding to the application of your choice.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Specify the domain folder in which the application should be installed, database name for the application, and click Install.

Now the application is installed and you can insert a link to this application into the web pages of your site, for example, on your home page. Otherwise, you and your users will have to access this application by typing its URL, which can be long enough to remember.

To access the web interface of an application, do any of the following:

To reconfigure an application or change the application administrator's password:

Go to Home > domain name > ASP.NET Web Applications, and click an icon , corresponding to the application.

To uninstall an application:

  1. Go to Home > domain name > ASP.NET Web Applications, and select a check box corresponding to the application that you no longer need.
  2. Click Remove selected icon. Remove Selected. The application will be uninstalled and its databases removed from the server.

If you want a certain Web-application to be started when someone tries to enter a domain, it can be done by creating a default domain application.

To set an application as default for a domain:

  1. On your Home page, click the domain name you need.
  2. Click ASP.NET Web Applications in the Hosting group. A list of application packages installed on the site will be displayed.
  3. Select a checkbox corresponding to the application package you want to set as default, then click Default. Click OK to confirm the creation of the default Site Application.

Now, when a user enters an URL in the address field of his browser (e.g. http://example.com), he is taken to the default Web-application.
