Turn Global Variables ON/OFF

If you need to turn on register globals (you should be writing any new code so that it doesn’t need this).
add

php_admin_value register_globals on

Into a new file called
/var/www/vhosts/{insert domain name here}/conf/vhosts.conf

Now reconfigure apache to refect these new changes

./opt/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name={insert domain name here}

Symlink one domain to another in Plesk

I wasted hours trying to fix this, and a colleague came up with the solutions in minutes…
We needed to create a domain and symlink it to the root of another domain. This is especially useful for some CMS systems, where a domain needs its own Plesk Domain for setup email addreses, aliases etc. but that domain simply points to another one.
To symlink “Domain_A” to “Domain_B”

cd /var/www/vhosts/Domain_A/
mv httpdocs httpdocs_old
ln -s /var/www/vhosts/Domain_B/httpdocs
#chown -h changes the symlink itself not the "referred to"  file
#chown --reference={filename}
#   changes the owner to the same values as the {filename}
chown -h --reference=/var/www/vhosts/Domain_B/httpdocs httpdocs
