Topic: Server Manager Error 500 after upgrade from 7.4 to 8.1

[Jewelie]

First time back to this forum in a long time [2006/2007] unable to find previous login details so here we go with new profile.

An Sme-Server box with an install of 7.4 that I set-up many years ago for a client has been called back into play after being powered down for a year or more. I did not foresee any great problems [very silly] with upgrading the OS [via iso/dvd] from 7.4 to 8.1. The upgrade went well with no apparent errors encountered during the upgrade, except I can no longer access the Server Manager console via https://sme-server/server-manager/ I get an error 500 Internal Server Error.

The shares and all the data/files on the box can be accessed via the network, I have complete access via WinSCP and PuTTy. I can login locally as 'root', I cannot login locally when entering 'admin' and password, this results in a brief display of an error message that cannot read as it disappears too quickly.

Plan 'A' is to try and re-establish access to the server-manager, Plan 'B' will be to pull all the data [about 135GB worth of Word, Excel and Access files] off the box and reload it, maybe replace it. It is/was an old HP d510 box that was called into play as a place to park and store files that could be accessed via the local network, it ended up being used much more than expected.

I did have Sme7admin and smeserver-BackupPC installed, these have since been uninstalled [post upgrade] although BackupPC still shows an error when booting the machine - not bothered with this at the moment. I would not expect either of these two to be causing the server-manager problem but I will stand corrected.

I have searched the forum looking for possible solutions, the answers I managed to find would appear to be early bugs from the days of sme7x which have since been resolved.

I can upload any log files, error logs etc from the server [if requested] to this forum to aid diagnosis. Any assistance would be appreciated on this.

Many Thanks in advance

When logged in as root via Putty or locally at the server terminal, can you type
console
& then the admin console menu should open, & then select the text based server manager ?

or alternatively directly from the root prompt type
elinks
& then the admin server manager login should appear (text based again)
Esc to exit

Thank you for the quick response.

Tried 'console' via PuTTy as you suggested  - at least I get to 'see' the error message that could not be read at the local login.

Error message reads:

Using username "root".

Typing 'elinks' and loging in as 'admin' delivers the same 'Internal Server Error' message that a web page login displays.

                                                       500 Internal Server Error
                             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.

OK                                                                     [Si----]

With the way the error message reads on the first quote - would this indicate a bug or a fault I have caused during the upgrade process?

BTW. Thx for the two console based commands, I did not know you could access either of these items that way by typing in those particular words.

I did not foresee any great problems [very silly] with upgrading the OS [via iso/dvd] from 7.4 to 8.1. The upgrade went well with no apparent errors encountered during the upgrade, except I can no longer access the Server Manager console via https://sme-server/server-manager/ I get an error 500 Internal Server Error.

Did you upgrade directly from sme7.4 to sme8.1 ?

Pretty sure there is advice on this site to upgrade to sme7.6 first before doing further upgrades to sme8.x.

What do you get with the following service commands, also see my output for reference

service httpd-e-smith status

run: /service/httpd-e-smith: (pid 3402) 776397s, normally down


service httpd-admin status

run: /service/httpd-admin: (pid 3375) 776421s, normally down; run: log: (pid 1833) 776529s


Also show output of
httpd -t

Also here is a vaguely similar issue, so search forums on httpd -t as you may find more clues

To me, this looks like a transaction error while you upgraded, some perl package haven't been updated. The fact that you still have BackupPC starting error indicates that you haven't removed all your contrib before upgrading, which could be the reason of the failed transaction.

Could you check your perl version:

Code: [Select]

rpm -q perl
Also, check if you still have any el4 packages still installed:

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa | grep el4

[Jewelie]

Firstly - apologies this post is mighty long with log files code, I cannot appear to find a way of attaching a text / log file to save space in the body of the posting.

Both commands run as suggested via PuTTY, here are the results:

As mentioned I did have Sme7admin and smeserver-BackupPC installed, these have since been uninstalled [post upgrade - hindsight should have been preformed before upgrade] - both are still loading when rebooting server. I have attempted to uninstall smeserver-BackupPC again via PuTTY and this is what I get:

I then noticed the 'No package' message at the bottom of this log - forgot this would need to be entered in lower case. I followed instruction from http://wiki.contribs.org/BackupPC#Uninstall The command was edited and re-entered, this time it looked better as I could see things getting done.

You was running a very (very very very) old version of the BackupPC contrib !
Any way, you should now try to:

Code: [Select]

yum update
In order to update core packages

Code: [Select]

yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs
To update contribs (like the smeserver-vacation). Then, you should try to identify those .el4 packages which aren't usefull anymore, and remove them (for exemple, perl-File-RsyncP was required for BackupPC? but you can remove it now that BackupPC is uninstalled).

Instant replies to my queries 

The 'yum update' is presently running, downloading package updates, I will get to the other one later this afternoon - other stuff to do I'm afraid...

Is this ok [y/N]: y

Will post results later today after completing 'yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs' followed by expected several reboots.

Thx

[CharlieBrady]

Firstly - apologies this post is mighty long with log files code, I cannot appear to find a way of attaching a text / log file to save space in the body of the posting. 

Please post to the bug tracker. You can attach log files there.

[CharlieBrady]

When logged in as root via Putty or locally at the server terminal, can you type
console
& then the admin console menu should open, & then select the text based server manager ?

Janet, please don't post advice such as this in the forums. If the server-manager doesn't work, OP should be posting details to the bug tracker. Developers will provide advice on how to troubleshoot and assist with the diagnosis in the bug tracker.

Thanks

[Jewelie]

Just when I thought things were going well I get chastised for posting in the wrong place - sorry guys

Will repost into Bug Tracker forum.

Would not have thought my issue would have been seen as a bug, but now with the 'Dumper object version' message appearing it confirms I do apparently have bugs!

janet

Did you upgrade directly from sme7.4 to sme8.1 ?

Pretty sure there is advice on this site to upgrade to sme7.6 first before doing further upgrades to sme8.x.

I did check around the forum to make sure I was not just about to trash the install but must admit I did not find anything relevant pre update - must try looking harder next time, it may have helped in preventing all of these issues!

Daniel B.

Last two things suggested by Daniel B. - attempted to install updates, both commands generated an error message regarding yum at the end of each process.

'yum update' ended with:

As these were both relevant to 'smeserver-sme7admin' I figured sme7admin must still be installed even although I followed instructions from http://wiki.contribs.org/Sme7admin#Uninstall. After a bit of research I decided to try 'yum remove smeserver-sme7admin' [modified from http://wiki.contribs.org/Sme8admin#Uninstall] which has now removed sme7admin the way it should have done before.

Running both the following commands now successfully updated / installed remaining packages and without yum errors
'yum update'
'yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs'

Running both commands again post update and on a clean reboot produces 'No Packages marked for Update'

As I am still getting the original 'Server Manager Error 500' message on web page login or via PuTTY console it's off to the Bug Tracker forum to get my Bugs eradicated!

On the plus side - I can still access the folders and files via standard network browse whilst I get things resolved.

Thanks to all that helped so far, it's been interesting

No problem - we just want to work out exactly what went wrong so that hopefully we can stop it from happening to anyone else.

As I am still getting the original 'Server Manager Error 500' message on web page

Any time you see that there will be more details of the problem in /var/log/httpd/admin_error_log.

I did check around the forum to make sure I was not just about to trash the install but must admit I did not find anything relevant pre update - must try looking harder next time, it may have helped in preventing all of these issues!

It's mentioned in one of the Notes boxes here (& elsewhere too in forums etc)
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:8.1

You may also read the bugs referred to for further info.
Charlie wants to troubleshoot the upgrade so please do all this in bugzilla.
