Topic: browser access to server manager

[cmarkj]

Our SME is set up as a simple file server with public and private ebays. This past week the browser based server-manager has become unavailable from any PC on our LAN. All of the shares work fine. The console based server manager also works fine when I am directly connected to our server. I have tried Firefox and IE-both unable to connect. I deleted the security certificates in Firefox and also re-booted the SME. I did not make any changes to the configuration. I have tried the https://sme/server-manager and the ip address url with the same results. This server is configured for local LAN access only. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Mark

Start by checking if httpd-e-smith and the httpd-admin service are running:

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith status
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-admin status
Both should state something about the time that they are up.

If one of them is not running dig into the log files in the /var/log/httpd folder, especially the error_log's. Try to see if you can find a clue there. Maybe post the errors you find here if it is not totally clear how to interpretate it.

/root$ /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith status
/service/httpd-e-smith: down 0 seconds, want up

/root$ /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-admin status
/service/httpd-admin: down 1 seconds, want up

Here are some error logs:

Please note-I X'd out the server.com name in the above logs-we do not use our SME for any outside web access-email-etc. I had entered a domain name that I currently own during the original set up. This could be changed if it is causing any problems.
Thanks for the help,
Mark

same problem this morning this seem to occure 1 year after the installation / creation of the certificat ssl.

a cron job is supposed to recreate it, and it does not create it properly (or do not gernerate all files)

the link to  http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=33171.0 fix it after it occure.

waiting for the fix to avoid this probleme to occure to be on repository : bug http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2035 seem to have found how to correct it .
