Hello Brian, about PLESK:
1. Your DOCUMENT ROOT will be something like /var/www/domains/ domain.tld/httpdocs you will need to change that via ssh for instance. You can do that multiple ways but the PLESK way is to go to /var/www/ domains/domain.tld/conf/ and add vhost.conf there which only has DocumentRoot /foo/bar. vhost is included by PLESK (at least on HostEurope). 2. I had issues with unix permissions. There are some users and some groups and you can only have one user and group. Webserver runs on root and/or www-data - I did not understand that fully why it even runs under root. FTPUser (so that you can change/add files) is something like ftpDOMAIN and then there is something like psacln GROUP. I played around with switching groups and users to www-data and/ or root - sometimes webserver worked sometimes ftp. Finally I went with very open unix permissions :/ in my /var/www/domains/domain.tld/httpdocs/web/ (insides that lies my ./app and ./cake folder) chown -R ftpDOMAIN:psacln . chmod -R 755 . ./app/tmp required even 777 as well as ./app/webroot/uploads (there go my MeioUpload uploads) I even wonder why I need execute flag to be able to use FTP (no joke) :/. PLESK is a mess, I am weak on the linux side but PLESK is really bad :/. At domainfactory for instance (which costs more, yes) you can just set your Document Root per subdomain in a web interface, PLESK with all its useless stuff cannot do that.
