I'm not famililar with sshcache in anyway. If it was you that turned it off and you can reactivate with no problems then if it was me I would give it ago.

However, have these pages ever displayed after your cache was turned off?

Nope. On or off makes no matter. it jsut doens not work.

[william_syd]

I don't know.

If you are on the local network server-manager and webmail (when activated) should just work.

I know, but they don't.

is there a way I can backup some files without server-manager and do a fresh install?

This system serves about 100 people and they are getting upset at the delay.

You do have access to server manager.

I only have access to the server  manager from the sme box itself. I cannot log in over the web from my local network. I get a 404 error.

Sorry, my mistake.

Can you tunnel in via SSH ?

ack hijacked thread!

joking joking. I just havent checked replies for a long while...

anyways, which logs should I look at to find errors for the webmail and server-manager?

[william_syd]

SSH login as admin and see if you can get to server-manager that way.

[WACOMalt]

I can login that way.

Webmail and server-manager over HTTP/S is still not working.

could anything with my problems here point to network issues? like an incorrect setup? (though nothing has changed, and it WAS working...)

well, that topic helps a little but thats the opposite ordeal as mine.

His, he couldnt access outside of his network, mine I cannot access INSIDE my network.. or outside for that matter.

from outside my network, I get a time out on the webmail and server-manager

[william_syd]

Can you explain what you went through with ?

This will fix your problem

OK, got the web and admin pages running again.

I deleted the private key and certificate:
Code:
rm  /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/darkstar.edenmonarolabour.org.crt
rm /home/e-smith/ssl.key/darkstar.edenmonarolabour.org.key


and then ran
Code:
signal-event domain-modify


If anyone needs to delete those pesky lock files (I needed to to this quite often), here is a script you can use:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

LOCK_FILE="./killthese.txt"

# First stop the webservers
/etc/init.d/httpd-admin stop
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith stop


# Now produce the lock file
ipcs -s | grep www | cut -d " " -f2 > $LOCK_FILE

# open file test.data for reading
exec 6<$LOCK_FILE
# read until end of file
while read -u 6 dta
do
  echo deleting resource "$dta"
  ipcrm sem $dta
done

# close file killthese.txt
exec 6<&-

# delete the data file
rm -f $LOCK_FILE

#now start the webservers again
/etc/init.d/httpd-admin start
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith start
