[solved] change the primary domain fail
« on: August 02, 2009, 04:07:18 PM »
I have 2 domains
for a reason which I'll don't discuss here I want to change the first domain firstfqdn.com to the new one which is like scnd-fqdn.com to one of the servers (sme 7 - ast update)

I loged into server ssh as admin. and I changed the config
old one
domain firstfqdn.com
name mail
IP - static 192.168.x.253 (behind an NAT router)
mask - 255.255.255.0
server only
gw 192.168.x.254
corporate dns 192.168.x.254


with the new one
domain second-fqdn.com
name mail
IP - static 192.168.x.253 (behind an NAT router)
mask - 255.255.255.0
server only
gw 192.168.x.254
corporate dns 192.168.x.254

and rebooted like the wizard asked

as you can see only FQDN was changed
after this I am not able to connect to any web page of the server (including https://server/server-manager or http) I've trid by IP, old-name,new-name... (while my DNS is not on this server I can change DNS names elwehere)
if I start again the wizzard with the old data after reboot it start again to work(firstfqdn.com)

can anyone figure why?
I deleted also all virtual domains
the new domain contain a dash "-" but I suppose this will not be a problem
in the past I used the contrib to change the default server certificate  - may be this is the problem but I want to be shure to don't mess up things if is not real the problem

any help it will be great

Look at /var/log/httpd/error_log and /var/log/httpd/admin_error_log - one or the other should tell you why the web server won't start.

My first guess is that you still have the secondary domain defined as a secondary domain - resulting in multiple conflicting definitions for the same domain in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

thanks mmccarn

from your post I was leaded to my mistake
I forgot about my custom certificate (/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/e-smith/ssl.crt)
which had the old FQDN

of course this generate errors and the httpd start but with errors
Stefano - I don't think this is a bug which must be repported
is an user mistake

maybe as a "wishing feature"  - when change domain from console wizard (aka login as admin in ssh or console) to ask about old "custom templates"
if everybody's life around you is better, probably yours will be better
just try to improve their life
