New Install, is this normal?

shoggy24

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.
