Topic: Version 3 of unofficial update script

[sfg]

I'm a bit 'thick' on this so please don't rip me to shreds.
 
Q. - Is it possible to build all this into a single .iso?

You could download the script and all the files you want and put them on a CD, to save having to download them if each time if you are going to do it more than once.  Don't say the script isn't easy enough for you

I just installed a test box and I notice that spamassassin is not active even when under the control panel "Enable Spam Filter: Yes" --> save/restart.

I have uninstalled spamassassin and reinistalled via smeplus.sh (great job!) script and from swerts website but spamassassin seems to be not active at all - ie email is not scanned for spam.

I have checked to see if perhaps promail is not active for the users but it is - any suggestions?

Cancel that thought. Reinistalled a fresh copy and spamassassin is active....

Hey guys,

I'm quite a newbie, so bare with me  

I ran the script on an upgraded 6.01-01, and during this process it said something about problems with dependencies on OPENSSH and OPENSSL, but the script just kept running.

Afterwords, I rebooted the server and my website and the Server Manager worked just fine. But now I can't log on with SSH - actually it connects to the server and asks for the password (tried as both root and admin), but it says "Access denied" no matter what.

My first thought was to get in there and try to upgrade OPENSSH and OPENSSL manually, but as it seems I can't do it through SSH, I'm a little puzzled on how to do it - if that is what needs to be done.

I hope you can help.

UPDATE
It seems this guy had the same problem http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=25531.0,
but now my question is: how do I get console access without SSH? I have a monitor and keyboard attached to my server, but I can't seem to exit the Server console and get a normal console access.

UPDATE 2
It took the most of a day, but I finally got OPENSSH fixed by using the script in the previous update and by accessing the console with a simple "alt-f2" in the Server console.

With SSH-access it will now be a breeze to fix OPENSSL  

Persistance is a bliss!

Obviously, I'm a bigger newbie...

I have the same problem with a server that I build last night...

So you are saying, I should be able to login from the console, successfully?

And, can you tell me exactly what you did to fix ssh, and also for ssl when you fix it?

Thanks sooooooooo much, I was planning on having to rebuild it today instead...

[aarfing]

Yeah, this is what I did:

I attached a monitor and keyboard to the physical server and pressed "alt-F2" in the Server Console (the screen that appears when the server is finished booting) switching it to a normal bash.

Then I wrote:
# wget http://egerards.com/sme_ssh_fix/ssh_fix.sh
# sh ssh_fix.sh

And the script installed the new version of openSSH (although it wasn't able to remove the old ones first due to some sort of dependencies)

And then I rebooted.

Afterwards, I was able to use SSH again

Hi there,

I ran the script, and things seem to be working, except for one thing. When trying to access phpMyAdmin, I get:

"403 Forbidden" - "You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server."

My error-log says: "client denied by server configuration: /opt/phpMyAdmin"

My guess is that httpd.conf somehow didn't get updated with the proper permissions to access "/opt/phpMyAdmin" - but this is just a newbee-guess.

Is this a known bug? Any suggestions how to fix this?

[Syntholis]

Hopefully, I'll get to try that today... concerned with the phpmyadmin going away, since I run these servers remotely... but I'll gladly give it a shot.

To anyone thinking of installing the 6.5beta1 update with the CD over top of a server updated with the update script here - probably you will have major problems, and you might want to revert to the original versions of any packages that are are newer than what's included in the 6.5 update.  Probably better would be to install the updated rpms manually, rather than update with the CD.

I think we should create a new version of the update script based on the new 6.5 install.  I think we can remove the apache update, as there have been a few problems with it I think.

[alexsmithmcp]

worked perfectly without a single hitch - great work (6.0.1-01 Clean Instll)

[ElFroggio]

I always get 7 errors when I try doing the download.

Files not found when doing the download of the php update.

Is there any special trick for downloading them?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

[Tib]

Hello ElFroggio,

Thats because the updates have been updated to 4.3.10-3

I've fixed up the links ... but I haven't tested out the update yet ... will do tonight.

Regards,

Tib

[funkusmunkus]

there's a link that needs fixing, and I'm not sure how to fix it, when i tried to edit the wiki it asked for a userid and password, it didn't accept mine, not sure where i went wrong.

anyway the link is for clamAV it should point to http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/AntiVirus/antivirus_install.sh

cheers
