Creation Utilities
Plesk Creation Utilities are designed to facilitate the creation of various Plesk entities (domains, accounts, databases, etc.) via command line interface (CLI).
At the moment, Plesk provides the following creation utilities:
- init_conf.exe – enables the user to configure the server via CLI;
- server_pref.exe - allows the user to change Plesk Control Panel appearance via CLI;
- ipmanage.exe - allows the user to manage IP addresses associated with the server via CLI;
- client.exe - allows the management of client accounts via CLI;
- client_pref.exe – enables the user to manage limits, permissions, and interface settings for the specified client via CLI;
- domain.exe - allows the domain management via CLI;
- domain_pref.exe – enables the user to manage domain limits and preferences via CLI;
- webuser.exe – allows web user management via CLI;
- database.exe - allows the user to perform create/update/delete operations on databases stored in Plesk, and to manage DB users as well;
- mail.exe - allows mail accounts management via CLI;
- maillist.exe – allows the user to manage mailing lists via CLI;
- spamassassin.exe - allows the user to set spam filter parameters as well as to process incoming mail via CLI;
- spamassassin_server.exe - allows configuring server-wide spamcheck settings and applying them to all mailboxes of the server via CLI;
- protdir.exe - allows the user to manage web protection for domain directories via CLI;
- anonftp.exe - allows anonymous FTP management via CLI;
- subdomain.exe - allows subdomain management via CLI;
- fpseuser.exe – allows the user to manage FrontPage subaccounts available in the system via CLI;
- virtdir.exe – allows the user to manage virtual directories via CLI.
All creation utilities of Plesk listed above are located in the %plesk_dir%\admin\bin\ folder. Here %plesk_dir% is the system variable that stands for the root folder of Plesk. In Windows, Plesk is normally installed in C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\ . Thus, to run the utility, one should execute the 'change directory' command first and set %plesk_dir%\admin\bin as the current directory, and then run the utility itself. E.g. the following command line sets the directory with the init_conf utility as current and triggers this utility to execute its help command:
cd %plesk_dir%\admin\bin init_conf.exe -h
