Topic: Server manager cannot access

[smnirosh]

Recently we update root certificate as per the discussion of following link
https://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,52674.msg271443.html#msg271443

Now i cannot access the server-manager via remote computer. Open Vpn bridge works better perfectly, but server-manager doesn't.

Do i have to update something also to work the server-manager?

[Stefano]

please define "remote computer" (do you mean from WAN side? or from remote pcs connected via VPN?) and "I cannot access" (what error? anything in the related logs?)

[smnirosh]

yes a computer connected via openvpn bridge.
which log do i have to refer?

[Stefano]

so a computer on a different subnet, right?

if so, Server-manager -> security -> remote  access -> Remote Management

[Daniel B.]

If the computer is connected on the VPN, it should be seen as being local (the same subnet as the local network). You should explain what you mean by "cannot access"

[smnirosh]

I have used this computer for connect from my home to office all the time. But today i found this error
Cannot access= Seems this address not exists!

[Daniel B.]

Please tell us exactly the error message you have

[smnirosh]

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.XXX.XXX.

    .The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    .If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
    .If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

[Daniel B.]

So either your VPN is not working correctly (can you ping the private IP of your server ?). This can be for example a mismatch of the cipher configured, or of the copression settings between the client and the server. Or the httpd daemon is not running (can you access the server-manager from the lan ?)

[Daniel B.]

Also check your proxy settings on your Firefox

my vpn is working properly. I can access ibays, account server web-gui, and printers.
I also cannot access webmail to view admin emails. (same error appears)
the question i cannot answer is "(can you access the server-manager from the lan ?)". Because these days i am in leave.
I didn't change any settings on firefox.
I can ping the server's private ip.
I can access command through putty.
I tried to login as admin and access server manager, but it gave me error;

     Unable to retrieve http://localhost/server-manager:
                  connection rifused

I think the big clue is "Or the httpd daemon is not running" to find our problem. But i don't know how to track it.

[Daniel B.]

So, your web erver is not running most likely. Have you changed anything recently ? Check:

Code: [Select]

sv s /service/httpd-e-smith
httpd -t


[smnirosh]

nothing changed. Only thing was renewed openvpn license as per linked i had added above.

sv s /service/httpd-e-smith  =   down: /service/httpd-e-smith: 1s, want up

httpd -t    =  Syntax error on line 136 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/home/e-smith/ssl.crt/hostname.domain.it.crt' does not exist or is empty
