  • setting the default IP address for the Plesk server
  • configuring Plesk server networking parameters
  • adding IP addresses to the list of shared IP addresses
  • specifying and editing Plesk administrator’s personal information
  • creating the default client account for the Plesk administrator

Usage

init_conf <command> [
<option_1> [<param>]
[<option_2> [<param>]]
... [<option_N> [<param>]]
]

Example

The following command sets the default IP address to 192.0.2.14 and
sets its type to shared; sets the network mask to 255.255.255.0 and
the network interface name to eth0 for the default IP address; adds
shared IP addresses 192.0.2.46 and 192.0.2.47 to Plesk ; sets the
Plesk administrator’s name to John Doe and the administrator’s
password to adminpass; sets the administrator’s phone number to
555-5555, fax number to 333-3333, and email address to
[email protected]; sets the administrator’s company name to
Megacompany Inc., street address to 45 Trail street, city to New
