Topic: Need a little help

[badhat]

Well I used this quite a long time ago and thought I would go back to it for some simple pop3/web mail hosting.  Well I installed SME Server 6.0.1-01 and have some trouble.  I have configured the domain/ip address properly but have no access to the server itself.  When I nmap the server it shows only port 22 open but when I ps -ef on the system it shows that apache and everything else is running.  I sit on a 10.0.0.0 network and in Access Server Manager I have set this so that I could access the Server Manager.  What am I missing?  I remember, and have bragged, about SME Server working effortlessly straight out of the box in no time flat.  Now I am sitting here looking foolish.

Hi and welcome back

- In what ways do you try to access the server?
- What exact errors do you get?
- In what mode is it installed (server, gateway or both)
- What is the local eth IP number of the server?
- What else can you tell us about your setup?

As usual a quick reply!     What I would like is access to the web administration.  Doing a ps -ef I see the things running that need to be running i.e.- apache, mysql, etc etc.  I have it set to 'Server Only' as this will be an additional mail server on our network on a different domain name, stormwireless.net .  The ip address set to eth0 is 64.233.41.237 and the network (internal) I sit on and would like to manage it from is 10.0.0.* .   Under (Security)(Remote Management) I have set the remote management network like so 10.0.0.0 , 255.255.255.0 which should allow all 256 available ip's in the 10.0.0 network to access it, which it shows under Number of hosts, am I correct on this?  I have also set 64.233.41.191 , 255.255.255.192 which allows our 64 block of ip's access to it.  Now when I get on one of our workstations via https: or http://64.233.41.237/server-admin/ I get a connection refused.  When I nmap the SME server from one of our internal linux servers it shows only port 22 open on the SME server itself even though the list of processes show everything is running that should be. I just don't remember having this trouble before.

"10.0.0.0 , 255.255.255.0"

Make that a specific *complete* IP not a subnet and with mask 255.255.255.255. Just as the server-manager panel tells you

After all, SME Server DOES contain build-in firewall (protection) capabilities... does it?

I am going to reinstall, just to make sure, and will give that a try.  Thanks in advance for the help.  I will let you know if its success or failure.

Ok, 'fingers crossed' over here...

btw, if this is a 'major' new install or 'major' upgrade, maybe you want to postpone on that for a bit. My 'Christal Sphere' tells me that there may be better 'upgrade products' soon...

Ok I figured out what the problem is.  The installation is working just fine, but, even though the gui configurator is showing the network configuration that I chose it's not keeping it.  So if I log-in as root and manually add my network information it works just fine.  Where is this information kept on the system so that I can vi it and manually input the information?  I see in /etc/resolv.conf for example it tells me to modify /etc/e-smith/templates-custom instead of that file.  But once I enter that directory there is nothing there.

Hi,

Good for you!. Maybe you can check on your proxy or IE cache. They tend to 'keep' things

Have a nice weekend.
