Topic: Badly Needs Help in SME 7.2

[grisswold]

yep... Im accessing the server-manager via internet coz our sme server is just a dedicated server... we dont have any computers, hubs, switches connected to the lan to our server...
I was even able to download and install PHPmyadmin using the wget command in the shell from the server...

And making it double sure I did the test internet access... it returned to be success and was able to communicate with contribs.org.....

I wish I could post a print screen to the result updating via the server-manager, but it seems that I dont have the option to paste the image....

It might be the simplest to download the ISO and upgrade from CD.

[grisswold]

yep thought of that as well since I was running out of options and help....

Quick Question....In updating to 7.3 using the cd, shall I be performing the same steps as to updating SME 7.2 via cd?

 

  1.  Insert the CD into your server and issue a reboot, follow the instructions presented to you on the server screen to update to SME Server 7.2.
   2. Reset yum to the new default configuration as described here: Adding_Software#Restoring_Default_Yum_Repositories
   3. Reset other settings to new defaults as shown here: Updating_to_SME_7.2#Updating_Configuration_Database_with_New_Default_Values
   4. Perform a final yum update to obtain updates or patches released after the generation of the 7.2 iso.

Only steps 1 & 4 are needed, the CD upgrade should correct your other issues.

ey thanks mary... U know a weird thing just happened.... I tried the yum clean all and yum update the 4th time without the cd... and now its updating fine... weird.....

The only thing is, its taking more than 15 minutes as expected..... Well at least its updating now... Just have to be patient for it.....

Again, I wanna thank all of u guys for the elp!

....and make sure you do

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

when the yum update is finished.

[grisswold]

the update took about 8hrs and it says that its completed...

now I've got a new problem....   This command doesnt work...

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

It would give me an error "bash:signal-event: command not found"
Is there an alternative command for that?

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

ey mary, how do I go about in changing my bash as my default shell? They say I have to edit this file ".profile", but where can I locate that file and how do I open it to do some editing from the shell command line?

ey mary, how do I go about in changing my bash as my default shell?

Upgrade to 7.3 and /sbin/e-smith will already be included in the path.

[grisswold]

I've already updated to 7.3.. Yahooooo! But my bash didn't change to default T_T

After the signal-event reboot

I followed this to reset my mysql password coz I still cnt logon to mysql by just typing mysql to the command shell.. "Access denied root@localhost Password:NO"..

cd /var/service/mysqld
sv d .
expand-template /root/.my.cnf
expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
/usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
sv u .

when I typed this "expand-template /root/.my.cnf" it still said that "bash:expand-template: command not found"....
So Im just gonna do "/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /root/.my.cnf" for the meantime.. But again, how do I go about in changing my bash as my default shell?

As you are now on 7.3 use this instead

cd /var/service/mysqld
runsvctrl d .
expand-template /root/.my.cnf
expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
/usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
runsvctrl u .

[grisswold]

o yeah! I just followed ur post that I printed las time... kk.. will do and hope this'll work.. X fingers crossed....

tried this and it doesnt work in SME 7.3

runsvctrl d .
runsvctrl u .

quoted from http://wiki.contribs.org/MySQL "Since SME Server 7.3 the runsvctrl command was replaced by the sv command so for SME Server 7.2 and earlier releases use the following:"

You are logged in as root user on the console or through putty I presume or did you promote your user account to be superuser using sudo or su?

[grisswold]

nope.. I'm logged in as root user...

It wont reset my password so I just logged in to mysql typing the dam long password... I created another user with all the grant options so I'm ok for now. mydamin works too now..  But I sure do wish to know in how to be able to reset my bash to the default....
I still have to insert this before a command "/sbin/e-smith/" and this is already 7.3.... T_T


Oh yeah, got another question...
Is mysql 5 compatible with SME 7.3?
