plesk use specific directory as root for website

I got used to have all my websites in /var/www so no matter which domain, each subdomain has its document root located in /var/www/

Plesk is trying to force me to use /var/www/vhosts/domain/ and I did not find a way to tell Plesk to just put everything into /var/www.

I don't want a whole new structure, I want to migrate my existing websites from my old server (without Plesk) to my new server running Plesk 17.8

Edit: Feel free to answer this question for future reference but I won't need it as I realized that no sane person would use Plesk. Server will be reinstalled.

This may help you:

In Plesk for Linux, transvhosts.pl utility can be used to change the location for all virtual hosts:

transvhosts.pl

# /usr/local/psa/bin/transvhosts.pl --help


In the following example, the location is changed to /home directory:

/home

# /usr/local/psa/bin/transvhosts.pl --dest-dir /home --correct-scripts


Note, that currently Plesk Onyx with SELinux enabled does not support custom vhosts directory.
