Strange question, but one of our clients is insisting their new site is hosted on their own server/hosting account... Which is fine, apart from the fact I can only use Plesk to get it up and running, and I have no experience of Plesk :S
I have the site FTP'd up on the account, but am struggling with
I can't see any way of importing the SQL backup of the current database in this account?
I am unable to get past the default ' 500 - Internal server error' that IIS7 shows when there is an error or mis-configuration - Turned on I have switched off custom error pages for the domain in Plesk but to no avail?
Has anyone else installed an Umbraco site via a Plesk Admin? Any help greatly appreciated :S I also wonder if the error message is because I'm trying to view the site on a preview URL like
The preview will not work because of the $ character. I've had to get around this in the past by creating a host-header on the domain and mapping a test sub-domain of a live domain to point to it.
As far as I know, database restore facility is only available on installations of Plesk with very high access levels (i.e. I can get it with Plesk on my dedicated server, but not with plesk on a shared server or VPS - at least none that I've used). Is it something you can do through Management Studio, or failing that the SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard?
Install Via Plesk?

Your other issue may be permissions. Here's a chapter on setting permissions via plesk.
Hope this helps...
Yep preview don't work. Have a look at domain alias's in plesk. Also most companies that use plesk also use mylittleadmin for database stuff.
Man how come I never found that link before!
