Importend for gemail, foxmail pegasus,etc mail users.
with outlook express and incredimail it works without any change

If you go in the MailEnable MMC > Servers > Connectors, right click on the SMTP connector and click on Properties, click the Relay TAB and uncheck Allow Relay for Privileged IP ranges, or add the IP's you want to enable to relay. I disabled it, and it works fine now.

Hi :D
A Bad Questions: How can i install the plesk key?
 
return the PC to the dealer
say to him you understand too little about it


it is a *.exe file. ask plesk for a demo key.

it is not necessarily at this point to install the key. you can make it also later.you see however then directly that everything run.
 
for plesk 7.03

to fix the php error problem:

with mysqlcc (from mysql.org) run sqlscript in misc:

insert into misc (param,val) values
('mssql_admin_login','sa'),
('mssql_admin_passwd','password');

password to your password

when not exist also

insert into misc (param,val) values
('MSSQLServer','localhost');
 
importantly sql security
prevent from unnecessary hack attack

go to the sql server manager
go to Microsoft SQL Server>SQL Server Group>local
Right click Propertis
Select Network Configuration
select TCP/IP properties TCP/IP
Check box on Hide server
press OK and restart sql server

so prevented that traffic with attacked one prevents( up to 80kB/s our measurement)
 
this worth should be still adapted

SOA_TTL
SOA_Refresh
SOA_Retry
SOA_Expire
SOA_Minimum

If these parameters are absent, the default settings will be used.

Example:

INSERT INTO misc VALUES ('SOA_TTL','86400');

Plesk FQA

test DNS server with

I think that the following services can disabled:

Telephony
Remote Access Auto Connection
Remote Access Connection
Remote Desktop Help
Routing and Remote Service
 
Win2003 Hardening for IIS

Has anyone actually performed the Win2003 and IIS hardening processes and then installed Plesk ?

I see no mention of it here at all and I would think of it as being essential for a reliable hosting platform. I'll find out on my test server build before I build my live server.

I'll let you know....
