Will renaming the server have any other implications? Or is it just an arbitrary internal name?

Just got a new linux server with Plesk 10.2 installed. For one particular domain, when I set it up in Plesk, it creates the folder /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.c<wbr />om/httpdoc<wbr />s but the actual pages are being served from /var/www/vhosts/default/ht<wbr />docs. <br />
<br />
All other domains server their pages from the location I'd expect (i.e. the first example above). <br />
<br />
How can I switch this domain to serve pages from the default/htdocs folder to the mydomain/httpdocs folder? I'm not sure why this is happening with this domain, but the server's hostname is also called mydomain.com (well actually server.mydomain.com) so maybe that's got something to do with it. <br />

Change domain in Plesk from using default/htdocs folder

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
