• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

New Install, is this normal?

Regular Pleskian
I just did my first install of Plesk on a windows 2003 standard. Every service started except for one; SSL Wrapper. when i try to start it i get this error.

Could not complete the operation: defpackagemng failed: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. (Error code 1053) at StartService 'stunnel'

Although everything seem to work i dont understand why it is not starting and what the consequence is.

I also noticed that when using the web admin utility for MSSQL clients can see other database, the ones installed by default by MSSQL like; Master,Pub,MSDB,Northwind,TempDB as well as the security and management folder. Does this pose any security threat arent they suppose to see just their database.

This are probably silly questions but i have been administrating Plesk Linux and this is my first windows and i did hate to put it online if this are security loop holes.


Thanks
 
Thanks bender for the reply, i followed the instructions and it didnt work. I did ran into a hitch at
5. Replace %plesk_bin%\stunnel\stunnel.conf with file stunnel.conf from %plesk_bin%.

i dont have a plesk_bin folder, i did see a stunnel.com in %plesk_dir%
/admin/bin but i dont know if this is the same file the article was referring to.

It is a known issue, you can see other databases via web admin, but you do not have any access to them, you can not change them.


Regarding to:

%plesk_bin%, by default it is: %plesk_dir%/admin/bin folder
 
thanks a lot, that fixed it and thanks you for taking the time explaining about the database too.
