ASP: access denied, 2nd SQL Express installation, and DNS records missing

[bernhardl]

hi there,

we installed PLESK panel 9.5.2 on a freshly installed W2k8 R2 server with IIS roles and .net feature - there was already an sql express server present, but PLESK decided to install a new one anyway, which is not really an issue, though. We do have 2 grave issues though:

1) When you log in as admin to the PLESK panel now, go to databases, local ms sql server, and click webadmin, the connect.aspx page brings up an access denied:
https://*:8401/mssql/app/connect.aspx
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
the generally suggested solution to add the ASP accoung to the security tab in the WMI does not work since there is no security tab there. Any ideas?

2) When logged in as a user, the webadmin interface tries to access
http://mssql.some.domain/mssql/app/connect.aspx
which fails because that host name does not exist - because DNS for that domain is being run somewhere else. Any way around that?

any help is highly appreciated.
cheers
b.

thanks

fixed it already, found that the psa* users had no permissions on the assembly folders, it is even in the knowledge base here - was just looking in the wrong place for a while.

thanks mate!
