[Solved] DB Webadmin Port 8401 reappeared in Plesk 9.5.4 Win2008 R2

Hello,
Today I upgraded from Plesk 9.5.3 to 9.5.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit with MSSQL addon.

Problem description:
In 9.5.3 mssql webadmin went to correct url, in 9.5.4, it goes to port 8401 like this article exactly http://kb.odin.com/en/2224

- This happens only in Webadmin from Home screen (in admin account). In domains, it goes to correct url.

MySQL web admin works, no problems in that.

The workaround in that article does not work on 9.5.4, please we need a fix for this.
Thanks in advance

Steps to reproduce:
1. Login to Plesk 9.5.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit with MSSQL license applied with admin account.
2. Home > Databases > MSSQL (.\SQLEXPRESS) > Webadmin

Expected result:
- ASP.net Enterprise Manager opens

Actual result:
- Plesk tries to go to http://<serverip>:8401/mssql/app/connect.aspx

Notes:
- If you go to Domains > (choose any one) > Databases > (choose a MSSQL database) > Webadmin it goes correctly to mssql.domain.com and it opens, bug only in admin db webadmin.

- The workaround in article for 8.x doesn't work.

Thank you for detailed report. I have submitted request to developers. I hope it will be fixed soon.

I have received following from developers:

I've tried to reproduce this issue and I met it on PP 9.5.3 either. In fact this way is always works like this. When you try to use MSSQLWebAdmin from Home > Databases > MSSQL (.\SQLEXPRESS) > Webadmin you are redirected to global URL for this service.
sqladmin site has bindings for each site like: <domain_ip>:80:mssql.<domain_name> , and also has binding *:8401:* for simple access. If you haven't any domain, you just have only one single way to reach the site of MSSQL Webadmin by http://<any_ip_or_hostname_of_server>:8401/mssql/app/default.aspx

KB: http://kb.odin.com/en/2224 is about another use-case, there is clear specified path Plesk, Domain, Databases, select database, DBWebAdmin which sometimes works incorrect. So this fix does nothing about Home > Databases > MSSQL (.\SQLEXPRESS) > Webadmin way.

So I really can't understand, how that works on PP 9.5.3? What URL were used there. And what actual difference in observed behavior before and after upgrade?

Thank you for the reply, this is correct, it was my mistake. The firewall rule for port 8401 was not working which made me think the URL is wrong.

This case solved.
