Appendix A: Configuration Templates Structure

 
advanced administration guide linuxapachedomain namehordeip

A set of configuration template files is structured as follows, assuming
that the root folder is default/ or custom/. Editing these files
changes the Apache configuration.

Root templates are starting points in generating configuration
files. Plesk always starts generating a configuration from one
of these files. All root templates contain statements that
include the other templates located in respective folders
(domain, server and service).
