Topic: server-manager dissappeared

[bjoyce]

Hi everyone,
I installed a php /mysql application and my server-manager site has gone.

When I try to access server-manager this error comes up
---
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /server-manager.

Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused
---

The only thing I can think of that may have caused a problem was changing the root@localhost user in mysql password.

Could this cause server-manager to dissappear.  The box is still working fine and all other web services like webmail and the primary ibay are still working fine.


Anyone got anyideas what could be wrong?

thanks

Brad

Login to your server as root and run the following command:

/etc/init.d/httpd-admin restart

Try to get to the server manager.

If that doesn't work then look at /var/log/httpd/admin_error_log and see what that says.

That was an unnecessary thing to do. Why did you do it? But it won't have blocked your access to the server manager. One of the two apache processes is not running. You will have to look at log files to find out why it isn't running.

Thanks Genzil, that worked a treat

CharlieBrady, I did it accidently when copy pasting stuff from a howto i grabbed the whole line (including the carriage return) that executed root@localhost etc when i really wanted to edit the line to have the user controlling a new mysql database.

The return executed the line as soon as i pasted it into the bash shell. doh  

Here is the section from the error log that shut down the service.  What could have caused this?
