Managing Client Application Pool

Each client in Plesk has an application pool - the location where all site application packages provided to this client are stored. This feature was designed specially for administrators and is available only to them. Clients do not have application pools in their control panel environments. With this feature administrator can now manage site applications provided to the client and add new application packages to the client.

NOTE

Application pools of all clients will be disabled if the Application Vault is disabled in your Plesk. The Application Vault may be disabled if not supported by your license key. You should order a new license key if you wish to use this feature.

There are two types of site applications in Plesk:

  • free, requiring no license key;

  • commercial, requiring a license key;

Plesk goes with a number of free site applications requiring no license key that you can choose to install on your Plesk. All free site applications installed on your Plesk are automatically added to the application pool of each client created in Plesk. However, the commercial applications can be added to the client only upon purchase.

To access the application pool of a client, on a Client Home page click the Application Pool icon.

All site applications provided to the client are presented in the list. Each site application is accompanied by two types of icons.

The icon in the first left column indicates the type of the site application:

  • - the free site application requiring no license key, included in the default installation of Plesk for free. It is automatically added to the application pool of each client created in your Plesk control panel.

  • - the commercial site application that requires a license key. This application is purchased from SWsoft, Inc. additionally.

The icon in the second left column indicates the site application usage rules defined by the administrator:

  • - free of charge, automatically added to the application pools of all clients;

  • - commercial, customers have to buy this application to be able to use it.

NOTE

You may set rules for each site application and choose whether to make it free of charge or commercial. Site application usage rules can be set in the Application Vault.

To add a new application package to the client application pool, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Add New Application Package icon on the Client Application Pool page. The Add New Application Package will open. All available commercial applications, not included in the client application pool will be shown in the list.

  2. Select the desired application and click OK. The selected site application will be added to the client application pool.

Note: If there are no commercial applications available, the Add New Application Package icon will be disabled.

To view information on a site application package and the resources required for the application to run, select its title in the list.

To view help on a certain site application, click the icon . The Help page containing the general information on this site application will open in a separate browser window.

To remove one or several site applications from the client application pool, select the corresponding checkboxes and click Remove Selected.

NOTE

You can remove only commercial applications. Free applications cannot be removed from the client application pool, so the corresponding checkboxes will be disabled. Free site applications can be removed only in the Application Vault.
