Topic: 111 connection refused

[pingIT]

Hello

I have inherited a SME server that was put in a school and i have been trying to learn as much as I can about this thing while it was running. The server has stopped all web access i.e webmail, server-manager, Intranet with the error 111 connection failed. I have searched the forum and have checked out the bugs relating to this error but I cannot seem to get the same output listed on the post Bug 2635. The server is SME 7.0 and I would like to upgrade to 7.2 but would like this error corrected before I upgrade. Please be patient I am very limited with linux

Thanks in advance for your help

You might try this:
connect to the server using putty (or else type these commands at the physical console):
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

Also, updating might actually fix it.

Otherwise I don't recognize '111 connection refused'; you might start by looking at /var/log/httpd/error_log and telling us if anything jumps out at you...

Hello again

ran the commands
signal-event post-update
signal-event reboot
still getting the same web error. Checked the log and there were numerous errors about the device being full. From the Bug 2635 they suggested an upgrade failure this could have happened if the disks are full. I have removed data from the disk to free up space but where to from here?

thanks again

df -k will show you the actual free disk space on your system.  If the "use%" column doesn't show "100%" then you don't have a physical disk space problem.

What is the exact error message in error_log - there is an error that used to crop up w/ SME 7.0 that looked like 'disk full' but was really something else entirely (no space on device, or something like that)  I can't remember the error, but if you search in the forum on the exact text of the error message I think you'll get some posts on how to fix it.

If you're getting the error I think you're getting then this is the solution: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=33171.msg141328#msg141328
