Default theme

You will need to find your Plesk versions skin on the Parallels website here: http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/themes/ . Alternatively just run the autoinstaller and it should apply the skin automatically when patching/updating

For version 10.3 for example:

cd /usr/local/psa/bin
wget http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP10/BrandingThemes/parallels_plesk_panel_10.3_simple_view_theme_v1.zip
branding_theme -p -vendor admin -destination parallels_plesk_panel_10.3_simple_view_theme_v1.zip
branding_theme -i -vendor admin -source parallels_plesk_panel_10.3_simple_view_theme_v1.zip
/etc/init.d/psa startall

Template:

cd usr/local/psa/bin
branding_theme -p -destination /root/plesk.zip
branding_theme -i -source /root/plesk.zip

File Server Module

This is a module that allows the administrator to manage shared resources on the server directly from the Parallels Plesk Panel.

Ensure you allow ports 139 or 445 through any firewalls. I would suggest though that access is allowed only from known addresses.

URL rewriting

This cannot be controlled or configured within Plesk. You need to install Microsoft's Rewrite Add On for IIS. For more information visit this link: http://www.iis.net/expand/URLRewrite

Integrating WHMCS 4.x with Plesk 10

This link may be needed when you try to purchase something and due to the Plesk configuration Apache restarts forcefully. If you set it to graceful it will wait until it has finished the process then restart.
