Firewall Settings required for Plesk.

[McDonald1]

It looks like a change was made to the firewall settings (I think this was done by .net microsoft patch)

I have manually added mysql-nt to the firewall ruleset, and this has allowed MySql to talk to the application. (Wordpress websites are now working)
However
I still get the same error when i try to log in to the control panel.
ERROR: PleskMainDBException
MySQL server has gone away

0: common_func.php3:637
reconnect()
1: common_func.php3:600
db_connect()
2: auth.php3:134

Is there a list of firewall rules that need to be in place to allow Plesk to work?

do you remember that mysql for applications and for Plesk are uses a different ports?
also you can look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html

Hello.

The link did not really help, I enabled 3306 but still no joy.

Any other ideas please?

Try to increase wait_timeout in my.ini and restart MySQL server.
