Topic: [SOLVED] 8.0beta4 smecontribs ... remoteuseraccess not giving me my new panel

[LANMonkey]

This is all in 8.0beta4.

I have followed the instructions here:

http://wiki.contribs.org/FTP_Access_to_Ibays

And searched for information at the forum here, but found no clues as to the problem.

I rebooted as according to the command lines given:

Code: [Select]

yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-remoteuseraccess
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
And I went through the rest of the instructions, but I am not getting the new "Security:User Remote Access" panel.

Any idea what is going on or how to fix this?  I need to access my I-bays with FTP for web development.

[CharlieBrady]

This is all in 8.0beta4.

Please report any problems with contribs via the bug tracker, in the Contribs section.

My apologies.  I actually watched the feedback after running the yum command and got, 

"Parsing package install arguments
No package smeserver-remoteuseraccess available"

I also see,

 * smecontribs: distro.ibiblio.org

Anything else I can provide for clues?

[LANMonkey]

This is an old installation and originally had some repository problems that I posted about here:

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,43566.msg207814.html#msg207814

Could it be I've mucked something up in Yum or something?  How can I reset my repository or ... ?

There are no contribs released for SME8 yet, also SME8 is still beta and should not be used for production environments (other then for testing maybe).

If you want to test the contrib on SME8 you can point yum to the sme7 contribs repository as described here: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup

HTH.

From that link:

Point yum at the SME 7 Contrib repository, the only thing to change is the final number

Code: [Select]

db  yum_repositories setprop smecontribs MirrorList http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/mirrorlist/smecontribs-7
signal-event yum-modify

What is meant by "the final number"?  If I apply the code as written above, I still get the same response, "... no package available".

If I can solve this problem this time and a similar problem comes up again, I'll just go back and reinstall the latest SME 7 server.

Yes, I see here, http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#smeserver-remoteuseraccess, that it should go.

I think it is a repository problem either on my end or something.  I haven't a clue as to how yum works, except that it replace RPMs in some way.

[jester]

What does:

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories show smecontribsshow?!

[LANMonkey]

This is what I get, copied from the command line window:

db yum_repositories show smecontribs                           
    smecontribs=repository
    BaseURL=http://mirror.contribs.org/pub/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/$basearch

LANMonkey try running:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.smerepos.d/sme-base.repo
yum clean all
and then try to install remoteuseraccess again

[LANMonkey]

I'll try that.

download and yum localinstall

How do you do that?  Can you give me precise command line entries?

[warren]

Create a directory to hold the download in

eg

Code: [Select]

[testbox]~#mkdir contribs
[testbox]~# cd contribs
[testbox]~# wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-33.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
[testbox]~# yum localinstall  smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-33.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

[CharlieBrady]

Please take this thread to the bug tracker. If the contrib doesn't work, it needs to be fixed.

[LANMonkey]

No good.

I downloaded the file from the above link in IE8.  I then opened up WinSCP with root and copied the file to the contribs directory.

Then ...

Still nothing.  I'll still keep trying anything anybody wants to suggest, but I will open up a bug for this over at Bugzilla.

I think there is no need to open a bug as the issue is at your site. I can download the RPM from said server without problems. How is your system connected to the internet? Are there any routers or proxies in the chain between the internet and your machine?

Did you test the internet connection from your server? Can you confirm it can access the internet without problems?

Did you already try yum clean all and retried installing afterwards?

[CharlieBrady]

Obviously that file is not in that directory.

I hate to post it, but I am using this same server as a gateway for my LAN.  Earlier in this thread I was already instructed to perform a "yum clean all".  I also tried "yum clean metadata".

[LANMonkey]

You are right.  It wasn't.  This was the file:

wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-33.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

That's an 'l' not a '1'.  But of course they are the same character in the command line window

I am now seeing my new panel in server-manager.  I posted a bug before I got this far.  But for the purposes of this thread, PROBLEM SOLVED.

Thanks to all who posted suggestions.
