Configuring and Maintaining Your Server 81
Enabling Integration with Sitebuilder
Sitebuilder is a Web site creation and content management system developed by Parallels. It
has proven to be highly popular with site administrators because it enables users without any
technical skills and knowledge of markup languages to create professionally looking Web
sites.
To allow your Web hosting customers to create and publish their sites using Sitebuilder, do
the following:
1 Install Sitebuilder on the same server where Plesk is installed, if you did
not install it during installation of Plesk. This version of Plesk supports only
connections to locally installed Sitebuilder systems.
2 Install a license key for Sitebuilder. Log in to Sitebuilder at URL http://your
server's ip address or hostname/Admin, go to Server > License Management > Upload
License Key. Select the license key file in XML or ZIP format and click OK.
3 Log in to Plesk, click the Server shortcut in the navigation pane and click
Sitebuilder Support.
4 Specify the server administrator's username and password that you
specified in Sitebuilder during installation. They will be used by Plesk for
authorization in the Sitebuilder system.
5 Click OK.
Now Plesk is connected to Sitebuilder, and the Sitebuilder section appears in Plesk's
navigation pane providing the following shortcuts to the Sitebuilder administration panel:
Desktop. This provides shortcuts to the task-oriented wizards. Here you can perform any
operations on your Sitebuilder system. For more information, see
