Maybe one of you gentlemen can help me.
Since upgrading to V5.0 I have been not been able to verify or restore a backup via server-manager. I get a "page cannot be displayed, DNS error or server unavailable" message after 5 minutes. I also found that the system monitor would produce the same error after 5 minutes.
Last night I found that if I used the URL
http://serverIP:980 eg
http://192.168.2.1:980 instead of the URL
http://www.servername/server-manager then I got no browser timeouts and was able to verify and presumably restore a 1Gb backup file.
I decided to investigate a little further and found the following in admin_error_logs
[Tue Nov 6 21:08:14 2001] backup: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).
[Tue Nov 6 21:33:30 2001] backup: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).
[Tue Nov 6 21:35:15 2001] backup: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).
[Tue Nov 6 21:37:03 2001] backup: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).
[Tue Nov 6 21:50:55 2001] backup: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).
I found a template called 45Timeout in httpd.conf which has the timeout set for 300 sec or 5 min which is how long I got before timeout.
I modified the timeout to 5400 or 1.5 hours, expanded the template and restarted httpd.
I can now use the URL httpd://www.servername/server-manager to restore or verify without the browser timing out.
Do I have a config problem??
Also when I started out the first thing I decided to do was to remove all the MP3's out of one of the Ibays (this was close to 1GB in itself) to make the backup file smaller. I re-ran backup but the size of of the smeserver.tar.gz file didn't change and when I unpacked it on my desktop, the MP3's were still in the backup.
Is there a copy of the backup file stored on the server that it has been using.??
Cheers,
Jon
