Topic: no Server-manager or GD

[graphius]

I was playing with PHP5, using a How-To, but I seem to have botched my server-manager. When I try to log in, I enter the username and password then I get an error page

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Everything else seems fine, Samba works, My other web pages on the server are fine, including phpmyadmin, so it is not a php issue per se. I searched the error logs and I can't find anything relevant (I am a bit of a noob, so I may have missed something...)

on a possibly related note, I seem to have lost my GD imaging libraries, and I can 't reinstall them

Anyone have any ideas, short of reinstalling and restoring backups?

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x contribs forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Try reverting your changes by removing the installed contribs, if you get bitten by dependencies try the rpm -e option, perhaps even with the --nodeps parameter.

Also revert changes you made in templates.

After that issue a yum update (or manually install the packages that were updated) all changes should be found in the /var/log/yum/yum.log file, clearly stating which packages were removed, updated or installed.

After you have installed all original packages make sure to do a

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal event reboot

I figured out the GD issue (of course it was something simple...) but I still have no server-manager.

yep, tried all that, but I think for some reason my server-manager files are boinked...

Are you sure you removed all packages installed or updated and replaced them with the ones that are in the default repositories? To be sure download the ISO and do a upgrade from CD after removing all packages that you installed or updated trying to install PHP5, be sure not to remove all dependencies by using

Code: [Select]

rpm -e
What do the log files say? Do your normal webpages show up OK? If so start looking in /var/log/httpd/admin_*_log, otherwise see what /var/log/httpd_*_log tells you at the time the error occured.

I have tried removing all the contribs I installed. I even went so far as yum remove php with the intention of reinstalling from the base repos, but I am having an issue with php5-cgi it seems to be not installed, but registered as installed.
I think I will have to finish a couple of projects I am working on, then reinstall the whole system... Since everything else seems fine, other web pages are served fine, even phpmyadmin renders fine, I am not too worried. I just have to administer through ssh!

I hope SME 8 will have a better implementation of php5...

It will, as SME Server 8 will only have php5 as this is default in CentOS 5 on which it is based.
