Hi

Im having a couple issues right now.

Running a Dual Opteron 242 Windows 2003 Standard with Plesk for windows installed.


Occasionally some sites (not all) will suddenly stop working. What happens is when i launch the site in my browser it will ask for a username and passwords???

Its very weird. This just happens out of the blue. One time this happened to a site and to fix it I had to reupload all the files again. The latest time this happened, to fix it, I had to delete the domain in Plesk and re-add it and upload the files again.

Its nothing to do with the network...there are obvious problems between Plesk and the Windows OS. I know Windows has IIS on it...and plesk uses Apache to run?? ...so could be some stuff going on b/w the two. Or could it be some DNS stuff..? The particular site was recently moved over from another server. Keep in mind that some other domains seem to be working fine and never have had this problem. Its just certain other domains.

Anyone have an answer to this problem?

This is very scary considering that I do not know what triggered the site to stop working.....it just happens suddenly and to fix it i have to use one of the two methods described above.

Thanks in advance.

Its a permissions issue, no reason to delete or ftp... Just look to remove child objects under permissions and then readd them for this user..

Also if you remove the user account used to access this site from within IIS/site/properties., and then when you add it back the popup will stop.. Bug I think. Do this before doing the one above... as 9/10 times this will fix it.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

Anyway to get a step by step to this as I am not too familiar with Plesk with Windows right now

Thanks

Same problem happened with me. I though it was a frontpage authentication error, i was unable to open frontpage properties page as well.

I did the same thing, removed the account and recreated it. Also one of domains just stop working sometimes and its automatically back. Some Dns problem.

Me getting fedup with plesk. If anyone know from where i can get H-sphere for max $20-30/month. Do let me know .....

Im sure its a configuration problem on the server end with Plesk and IIS and Apache.....or maybe a DNS problem.

Anyone out there know?

Thanks in advance.
