# Plesk Configuration Guide

### **Introduction** <a href="#pleskconfigurationguide-introduction" id="pleskconfigurationguide-introduction"></a>

Under “Additional nginx directives” add the location from /hash(the first part of the tracking URL) and add the proxy\_pass directive to the JENTIS tracking URL

#### Step 3: Save and apply <a href="#pleskconfigurationguide-step3-saveandapply" id="pleskconfigurationguide-step3-saveandapply"></a>

After applying the directives, the webserver will restart and activate the new configuration.

### **Conclusion** <a href="#pleskconfigurationguide-conclusion" id="pleskconfigurationguide-conclusion"></a>

Your Plesk should now act as a reverse proxy and forward all request to /hash to your tracking domain.

{% hint style="danger" %}
After enabling Cookie lifetime extender, the DCP will give a proxy code that is expected to be setup on `https://domain.*/hash` however, if it is set up on `https://www.domain.*/hash` it will cause a CORS Error on the Cookie Lifetime Extender Requests.

For more details on WWW configuration follow this [guide](https://docs.jentis.com/key-features/cookie-lifetime-extender/configure-your-tracking#www-configuration-guide-optional).
