Topic: Version 3 of unofficial update script

[MSmith]

Just weighing in ... this script did everything it was supposed to do, this first time I've run it.  I chose for this particular installation NOT to install the additional contribs and everything ran perfectly.  Many thanks!

Anyone notice e-mail breakage after running the update script, then doing a backup2ws 911 restore? I ran the upgrade on a fresh SME 6.01 install, then did the 911 restore job. I can logon the admin e-mail, but the other users have their logon rejected. Maybe that has something to do with the fact they were restored from backup but admin was of course already there.

I also notice SSH access went away, although it still shows enabled in the server-mananger remote access settings. Perhaps this is related since the securemail add-on is enabled and both are using SSL to logon?

I can't dig into logs right now because I can't access the box remotely <sigh>. Perhaps a more selective restore would be helpful, but which directories need to be included or left out? This is my home SME box I use for testing, so I can play around with things. I just wanted to know if others had similar problems and if any of the community's best and brightest had any suggestions.

Thanks

Well, I did another clean install and grabbed the update script from http://sme.braunstein.de/update/smeplus.sh
I have nothing else installed, it's a completely clean box. I get this when running the script:
[root@server root]# wget http://sme.braunstein.de/update/smeplus.sh
[root@server root]# sh smeplus.sh
smeplus.sh: line 43: syntax error near unexpected token |''
smeplus.sh: line 43:     echo '|                                                                     |''
[root@server root]#

I looked at line 43:

Code: [Select]

   echo '|              |'                                                            

It appears to be just a blank line in the French disclaimer. I deleted the entire line and the script worked. Someone might want to take a look at that.

Since installing the latest update script I am unable to remotly connect to my sme server via https.

The host on the remote network is in my allowed management networks and I can connect to the sme server via html (not server manager).

The only problem this causes me is not being able to use https for webmail or twiggi since I tunnel port 980 into ssh for server manager.

Thanks in advance..

Colwyn - Happy New Year and Happy for SME !!!!

hello guys and happy new year for all !

In fact, it's seems to be a problem of ' in the french translation due to our vocabulary.
So here is the modified translation with (AltGr+7 azerty) instead of '(key 4 in azerty), and with some minor modifications :

Code: [Select]

"f" | "F")
    lang="fr"
    #clear screen
    clear
    echo '/=====================================================================\'
    echo '| Ce script va télécharger des mises à jour pour votre SME 6.01 dans  |'
    echo '|  /root/plus/, installez-les et venez y ajouter quelques contribs.   |'
    echo '|                                                                     |'
    echo '| Ce script est une mise à jour *non* officielle et nest prévue que  |'
    echo '| pour des nouvelles installations de SME 6.0.1-01 mais *peut*        |'
    echo '| fonctionner avec des installations SME 6.01 déjà modifiées.         |'

    echo '| Aucune garantie nest fournie et vous utilisez ce script à vos      |'
    echo '| propres risques.                                                    |'

    echo '| Si vous acceptez ce qui est dit ci-dessus appuyez sur "y" pour      |'
    echo '| continuer sinon appuyez sur "n" ou "Enter" pour arrêter ce script.  |'
    echo '|                                                                     |'
    echo '| Si vous le souhaitez vous pouvez enregistrer les messages du script:|'
    echo '| Avant dentrer "sh smeplus.sh" tapez "script smeplus.log" ...       |'
    echo '| A la fin de lexécution de ce script tapez "exit"                   |'
    echo '|                                                                     |'
    echo '| press "d" for german informations, and "e" for english informations.|'
    echo '\=====================================================================/'

hope it has helped, it worked for me.

Very quick work, Thank You

arnoldb, mutmut,

Unless I'm mistaken, you guys haven't edited the wiki page with the mistakes you just found and fixed - please do so  Better to edit the wiki page and put a note or a comment why you made a change.  Thanks!

...since I tunnel port 980 into ssh for server manager.

I'm pretty sure you can't tunnel with SSH2, which is what the updates restrict you to (no SSH1 anymore).  I think you'll have to log in with putty and add your IP to the remote access list and then you can use server-manager remotely via https://example.com/server-manager

Hmm after installing this my FetchMail won't distribute mail to the local users anymore.

This is the same problem i had.
I traced it back to the dungog mailblocking.

Go to the admin pannel from mailblocking and allow (for test) from: *@* and to *@* (mailblocking is now disabled).

it worked fine for me.

[mutmut]

gregswallow,
I agree with you for editing the wiki.
But when I tried to do so, and entered my nick and pwd, something was wrong.
That's why I've put the modifications here.
I don't know what's happened for editing the first time , but now I can
perhap's my fingers were too big

I am going to comment out dungog-mailblocking in the script and put a note about this.  I had problems with it as well and ended up removing it.

You have to first log in to the main site and then you can edit the wiki.  It is normal that your username and password don't work on that page that pops up if you try to edit a wiki page and are not already logged in.

I have just built a 6.01 plus the update, and i am unable to VPN into it (from Win/XP), whereas I was always able to do so for systems without the update.

Anyone else got the same problem?

I've checked that all ports are forwarded to the server (external webmail is working).
 
Any ideas where to look?

Silly question, but VPN (PPTP) is disabled by default - You changed the value in the Remote Access section of server-manager to something other than 0 already?

[brianr]

Yes, I have it set to 1

Actually looks as though it might be the router - I checked the Firmware version today and it is very old, so I will upgrade it first, and then see if it works.
