I found my self looking everywhere for a solution but couldn't find anything solid and had to get bits and pieces of info to finally figure it out. So here it is step by step for you: How to point additional domains to the same website on CentOS 5.x with Plesk 10? 1) Create a vhost.conf in your faivorit editor and add the following to it: ServerAlias yourdomain.com ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com No need to put ... here. Just put each domain as you see it above on separate lines. 2) Save the vhost.conf file and upload it to the server at the following folder: /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/ 3) Once the vhost.conf is uploaded to the folder in step 2 you will need to run the following command line with putty or ssh to publish the new aliases to Apache: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain yourdomain.com The old/obsolete way of doing this would be to use the following command line: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=yourdomain.com 4) If you followed my instructions above as I listed here you should not see any errors at all. If you are using Plesk 10 and you use the old/obsolete commands you will get the following warning message: WARNING: You are using obsolete option, use corresponding option of httpdmng. But this should still work for you and you can disregard this message. 5) Now test your new domains and they should all be pointing to the correct website. I hope this helps anyone looking to setup multiple domains to point to the same website.

I found my self looking everywhere for a solution but couldn’t find anything solid and had to get bits and pieces of info to finally figure it out. So here it is step by step for you:

How to point additional domains to the same website on CentOS 5.x with Plesk 10?

1) Create a vhost.conf in your faivorit editor and add the following to it:

ServerAlias yourdomain.com
ServerAlias http://www.yourdomain.com

No need to put … here. Just put each domain as you see it above on separate lines.

2) Save the vhost.conf file and upload it to the server at the following folder:

/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/

3) Once the vhost.conf is uploaded to the folder in step 2 you will need to run the following command line with putty or ssh to publish the new aliases to Apache:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng –reconfigure-domain yourdomain.com

The old/obsolete way of doing this would be to use the following command line:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u –vhost-name=yourdomain.com

4) If you followed my instructions above as I listed here you should not see any errors at all. If you are using Plesk 10 and you use the old/obsolete commands you will get the following warning message:

WARNING: You are using obsolete option, use corresponding option of httpdmng.

But this should still work for you and you can disregard this message.

5) Now test your new domains and they should all be pointing to the correct website.

I hope this helps anyone looking to setup multiple domains to point to the same website.

I tried creating subdomains to use a shared cert. Example mycart.com (port 80) = mycart.securecheckout.com (port 443). Using the vhost.conf would not work for this. What I had to do was remove the subdomain and add the virtual domain to the httpd.conf this looks similar to what Carlos had above but 443 instead. Point the Document Root to the path of the site you want to use the shared ssl cert on. I know this is an old topic but still valid. I tried creating subdomains to use a shared cert.

Everything is working, but when I add this content (which is the only content I'm adding to that file), I get this error: cannot occur within section It makes no sense and I can't restart my Apache service. However, if I take both and tags out of the file, everything is fine and dandy, except that my main domain snubee.com doesn't work. The subdomains however do work! Any ideas?
