Installing the WebHosting Plesk Module

If you have installed CloudBlue Commerce without the WebHosting Plesk module, you can easily install the module from the provider’s control panel: Go to Infrastructure > Modules, select the checkbox next to WebHosting Plesk, and click Install/Update.

If you have set up a number of Online Stores in Billing, make sure that the first Online Store is active before you proceed to adding a service node with the WebHosting Plesk Websites Manager role: Go to Billing > Products > Online Store > Switch Store, click the name of the store with ID 1 in the list, and click Activate, Set Default, and Select for Editing. After you add a service node with the WebHosting Plesk Websites Manager role, as described further in this section, you can deactivate the first Online Store, if you need to.
