Topic: sme6admin update for sme7

[cyr]

We made an update for our contrib sme6admin for sme 7.0.
Go to http://firewall-services.com

One of the issues I'm experiencing with 6.5RC1 is that after I install sme6admin (excellent BTW), I started getting these types of messages and disconnecting many times a day:
Bogus PPPoE length field (1494)

What could it be?

I installed according to your excellent HowTo and all went well but clicking sme6admin in manager yeilds the following error:

Software error:
Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/sme6admin line 182.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


Any Ideas ?

I just tried a test install and have exactly the same error as Dan.

Additional info:
My test is on a SME7b5 "server only" installation (1 NIC only) but line 182 looks like it wants to read an "external IP" is not possible with a server only installation.

hi,

Yes in server only for the moment the contrib doesn't work but we are working on a real update of the contrib with additionnal features and a better integration.

So be patient

No problem - thanks for your work with the contrib and your fast reply.

just go to /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin with winscp and edit the file sme6admin and comment out line 181 & 182 with a hash(#) at the begining,

Code: [Select]

# $record = $smedb->get("ExternalIP");
# $ExternalIP =$record->value;
this stops the error and allows the admin panel to function although you don't get the graphs to do with the external IP stuff (you don't have 1 anyway!!). all the other stuff works great.
this may not be the correct file to edit as expanding of templates somewhere might break this (i'm new to e-smith and how it handles templates and then expands them into /etc) if anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be glad to go & have a read.
im running smeserver 7.0b8

I discovered later that this was due to a bad adsl filter, sorry for any confusion.

@johnnysme

I have it running on Pre1 without any modifications and graphing all interfaces. Check http://firewall-services.com
