Hello, I'm encountering an issue configuring my Node.js application in Plesk on HelioHost. Current configuration Server: Johnny Application Root: /nodeapp Document Root: /httpdocs (current) Startup File: app.js Directory structure / ├── httpdocs/ └── nodeapp/ ├── app.js ├── package.json └── public/ The public directory exists inside the application root and has standard permissions (755). Issue I'm trying to change the Document Root from: /httpdocs to: /nodeapp/public Plesk allows me to browse to and select the public directory, but when I click OK or Save, it fails with the following error: Unable to change document root: Permission denied. Additional observations If I set the Application Root to /, the configuration is accepted and /httpdocs remains the document root. If I set the Application Root to /nodeapp, Plesk recognizes the application correctly (it detects app.js and package.json), but changing the document root to /nodeapp/public always results in the "Permission denied" error. The public directory is a normal directory (not a symbolic link) and is visible in Plesk's File Manager. The application files are owned by my hosting account, and the directory permissions appear to be correct. This appears to be a server-side Plesk or virtual host configuration issue rather than a filesystem permission issue. Could someone please check whether there is a restriction or configuration problem preventing my account from setting the document root to a subdirectory of the application root? Thank you.

DNS record added.

I was able to log out of the Dashboard. Excellent work. Thanks!

I've added the .com domain to your account for you. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain change to take effect, and it will not work until you set up your DNS with your domain registrar. To configure your DNS, please see the steps provided on our Wiki to either set NS records pointed at the HelioHost nameservers, or create A/AAAA records and point them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address: https://wiki.helionet.org/Addon_Domains#Custom_Addon_Domains If after a full 2 hours it doesn't work on your side, please make sure you clear your web browser cache: https://wiki.helionet.org/Clear_Your_Cache If you can't access any of the Wiki pages, please let us know what IP address was shown on the error page. If you no longer need the marchasdecristo.jaguerra27.helioho.st domain, please let us know if you want it removed. You're allowed to have up to 15 domains on your Morty account (and allowed to get more than 1 Morty account if you need more domains), so it's no problem to keep it for now and decide later on. 🙂

The August estimate was based on your current load average over the previous 30 days which at the time was about $1.00 per month. If you start having overages you get billed more per day. On 2026-05-02 you added a bunch of cronjobs that ran really frequently and were causing you to have overages every day. +----------+--------+ | username | bill | +----------+--------+ | costacja | 0.4386 | | costacja | 0.3904 | | costacja | 0.3625 | | costacja | 0.3495 | | costacja | 0.3243 | | costacja | 0.3127 | | costacja | 0.3113 | | costacja | 0.3060 | | costacja | 0.3051 | | costacja | 0.3242 | | costacja | 0.3387 | | costacja | 0.3272 | | costacja | 0.3485 | | costacja | 0.3823 | | costacja | 0.2885 | +----------+--------+ You can move back to Morty if you want at https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/

I've reset your account as requested. You should receive an email shortly so you can take the next steps to recreate it. I made a backup before the reset, so if you discover you need any of your old files, you can download the backup here: https://heliohost.org/backup If you're not sure how to extract the backup files, please follow our how-to guide here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Account_Backups

It looks like you also posted a request about this on Discord at: https://discord.com/channels/398197622168616962/398538798994161664/1523251516734046248 Wherever you prefer to ask for help, please ask your question in one place only. All staff are unpaid volunteers who donate their free time outside of real-life commitments (paid job, school, family, etc.) In this case, 2 staff members spent their time answering both your questions about the same thing, which is a waste of unpaid volunteer time and effort. For guidance on where and how to ask for help, see: https://wiki.helionet.org/FAQ#Where_do_I_ask_for_help?

For support response timelines (SLAs and ETAs), check: https://wiki.helionet.org/ETA Asking the same question in multiple places can lead to wasted staff time and effort, resulting in slower support timescales for you and all other HelioHost users.

You said your card wasn't working on PayPal so I gave you a Stripe link. Does your card work on Stripe?

We have recently received a few reports that someone has launched a phishing campaign to try to steal free HelioHost accounts. We're making this news post to remind you not to click any strange links in any strange emails claiming to be from us. A few things to keep in mind: If you contact support, 99.9% of the time you don't need to post your email address. The reason we require a username during signup is so you can contact support without disclosing any private information, such as your email address. We don't send emails from noreply.heliohost[at]gmail.com or from any other email services like outlook.com or yahoo.com. All of our emails will come from @heliohost.org, or if it's from our support forum, it will come from @helionet.org. We don't use a free Ngrok app to host our login page on some kid's laptop in Italy. Report these links to us or directly to abuse@ngrok.com to get it taken down quickly. We don't use AI to write strange emails to you threatening to suspend you for sending spam or any other reason. All of our emails are written by humans. Free signups are currently closed while we rebuild Johnny, but they will open again soon. There is no need to steal someone else's free account when you can just wait a week or two and then signup for your own account. It honestly doesn't make any sense to launch a phishing campaign against a charity to try to steal free accounts from people who are too poor to afford hosting, but I guess it's just more proof that most criminals are very very dumb, and since they're very very dumb, they resort to crime instead of legitimate activities. As obvious and sad as this phishing attempt is, if you're not paying enough attention or half asleep, it's possible you might accidentally fall for it. Don't click any weird links! Don't try to login to any weird phishing pages! Stay vigilant out there, people!

Looks like you found where to add your web files. 🙂 When I checked earlier I only saw the directory listing, but now I see your HELLO page. I'll mark this as Solved but please let us know (by making a new thread) if we can help with anything else!
