Hi there community
I wonder if there is anyone out there who can help roll back some changes i have made in an attempt to set up some web apps for
testing.
Aside I am not the greatest with commend line or Linux, but attempting to learn - I usually learn by breaking things several times over.
Anyway, I have lost access to my server manager, not sure how but know that it was down to either:
1) moving my primary www domain to a different ibay (i.e. mypersonalweb ibay); or
2) following the howto 'Web Application Redirection Tutorial' here
http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_Redirect_Tutorial; Some history may prove useful:
I have been looking at some cms web apps. I first installed wordpress as in the contrib, but removed this and manually installed in an ibay called blog. Mainly because I am comfortable with ibays, and also because I wanted to use the domain name '
www.blog.mypersonalweb.co.uk', as I have 'mypersonalweb.co.uk set up as a virtual domain.
Realising that the web app would also be displayed with the url '
www.mypersonalweb.net/blog', I moved the www for my primary domain ('mypersonalweb.net') away from the primary ibay to another ibay named 'mypersonweb'.
While wordpress ran ok in an ibay i kept getting errors with many plugins I installed. I automatically assumed this was something to do with the config of sme, and hence why many sme contribs install in /opt. With this assumption I re-installed wordpress again in /opt using the contrib, and of course the plugins worked.
I then went on to install SMF using the contrib, for testing alongside wordpress. Again I had intended to use the url '
www.forum.mypersonweb.co.uk' for this app, and had previously set up the ibay 'forum' and virtual domain forum.mypersonalweb.co.uk. To avoid problems i experienced with putting the apps in an ibay, I followed the Web Application Redirection Tutorial, but instead of
- config setprop smf domain
www.mypersonalweb.co.uk;I used the address for the virtual domain I had previously set up:
- config setprop smf domain
www.forum.mypersonalweb.co.uk;Note, I had not used the forum ibay previously, and the ibay was still dormant as I had not set a password.
After completing the web app redirection tutorial,
www.forum.mypersonalweb.co.uk did not point to my smf in /opt, however
www.mypersonalweb.net/forum did.
It was at this point that I noticed that i had lost access to server-manager, normally accessed
http://serverip/server-manager:
After which I removed smf via yum, dropped the DB and deleted appropriate files in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, however this has not brought back server-manager. I just get a 404 message. I did note that
www.mypersonalweb.net/server-manager still gives me a forbidden error as I have server-manager configuredto local server only.
I have tried forum for solution, but I am struggling as this is overwhelming and keeps taking me in the direction that caused my problems. I would like to roll back the changes to server-manager, clean my server before looking for a different solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I realise that I have made a dumb newbie error. Running SME 7.3 in server-only mode.
Many Thanks.
