When visitors open a domain, the web server uses this folder to display the website. Plesk usually sets <code>httpdocs<\/code> as the default document root. However, some websites use a different folder, such as <code>httpdocs\/public<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, Plesk lets you change the document root from the domain&#8217;s <strong>Hosting Settings<\/strong>. This article explains how to <strong>change the document root in Plesk<\/strong> with simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before changing the document root, check the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You have access to the Plesk control panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The domain is already added to Plesk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new document root folder exists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The website files are available in the new folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have a recent backup of the website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These steps help reduce the risk of website errors during the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the steps below to <strong>change the document root in Plesk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Log in to Plesk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, log in to the Plesk control panel with your Plesk account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you sign in, the Plesk dashboard will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Open Websites &amp;

Next, update the <strong>Document root<\/strong> field and save the setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, open the website and verify that it works correctly. If an error appears, check the folder permissions, index file, <code>.htaccess<\/code> rules, application settings, and website error logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What is the document root in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The document root is the folder that the web server uses to serve website files. In Plesk, <code>httpdocs<\/code> is usually the default document root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Can I change the document root for a domain in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Plesk allows you to change the document root from <strong>Websites &amp; Domains \u2192 Hosting Settings \u2192 Document root<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Does the new document root need to exist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Create the required folder before changing the document root. Also, make sure that the folder contains the required website files, such as <code>index.php<\/code> or <code>index.html<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Do I need to restart Apache or Nginx after changing the document root?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, you do not need to restart Apache or Nginx manually. Plesk applies the required hosting configuration after you save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/22\/how-to-change-a-user-password-in-plesk\/\">How to Change a User Password in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/21\/how-to-change-an-existing-user-role-in-plesk\/\">How to Change an Existing User Role in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/18\/how-to-add-a-user-in-plesk\/\">How to Add a User in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/21\/how-to-create-a-user-role-in-plesk\/\">How to Create a User Role in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Help with Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help managing users, roles, or subscription access in Plesk?
