Topic: Server manager Connection Refused

[Ron de Boer]

Hi All,

I have just started loading the oscommerce rpm and server-manager is now not working.  I looked at the forum and have tried restarting my httpd-admin service with the following command

service httpd-admin restart

this stopped and started my httpd-admin service again but I still have the same problem which is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following error was encountered:

Connection Failed
The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can still get to the admin console via the browser by

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:980/

and everything works but server-manager should be working as well


Anyone have an idea what I need to do to fix my problem.

Thanks in anticipation

Make sure you are using "https://" for secure connection.  Also are you sure it is the server-manager and not the console-manager that you want?  I am a little confused by your use of admin console and server-manager toward the end of your message, on my system they are one in the same.  Unless I am totally screwed up, bit of a n00b at this but none of my suggestions should alter your system.  Also try placing an entry in your windows hosts file that points your ip address to the host name of your e-smith/SME box.  Something like this . . .

       

mine looks like this . . .

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1         localhost
192.168.0.22   dellkow
192.168.0.1      k6
192.168.0.11   athlon



You can find the hosts file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc or on a Linux box under /etc/hosts.

Hi Wildkow,

When I am in Internet Explorer I can type https:\domain\server-manager  this will bring up the server console as you mention.  This is what is broken.  I have a error message on boot of my e-smith server that says httpd-e-smith has failed at line 1294.  

What I need to know is which file I need to edit in the templates to fix this problem and where it is exactly.

It has not only stopped my server-manafer it has also stopped my web pages of which I have 3 virtual domains.

Thanks for your input and I hope I have clarified a little on my problem.  I know the problem, I could probably fix it even though I am not a Linux or E-Smith techo, but I don't know where the template is to look at the problem.

Regards

Ron
