Title: can't create new ibays with server-manager
Post by: brit-dub on February 28, 2006, 12:35:01 PM

Hi

I have been running 7.0 pre 1 for a few weeks with no problems until this morning.

I’m having problems within server-manager when I create an ibay from within firefox or IE it never comes back to me to tell me its finished. I can no longer access server-manager via ssh it allows me to log in and then the ssh window closes.

So it short I can’t create ibays.

Any help please.

TIA

brit

Can you do a yum to upgrade to latest pre release? which is 7.0pre3 as pre1 is not support or you may open a Bug Ticket and see whether a bug or not

Sorry cant help no further

can you do a yum update/upgrade from the command line? don't forget to read and run the signal-event post-upgrade

Opening the Bug Ticket is the only thing which OP should do.

Ok I’ve found how I messed things up. I’m not an expert when it comes to command line, but I’m trying. I made a mistake when using chmod. I used chmod –R 777 on the usr folder. And I think this is why I’m getting

Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /sbin/e-smith/console line 146.

When I try to log on as admin with ssh.

So can anyone help me put things back as it should be please using chmod

TIA

Why did you chmod in the first place?

This will restore most permissions and ownerships to what they should be:

rpm --setperms --setugids $(rpm -qa | sed -n  /e-smith/p -n /smeserver/p)

thanks for the reply but its not working, this is what I see.

[root@server01 usr]# rpm --setperms --setugids $(rpm -qa | sed -n /e-smith/p -n /smeserver/p)                                

sed: can't read /smeserver/p: No such file or directory

rpmq: no arguments given for query

I used chmod in the wrong dir, I should been in a html dir when I did it.

My bad. I meant to say:

rpm --setperms --setugids $(rpm -qa | sed -n -e /e-smith/p -e /smeserver/p)

But why were you trying to chmod at all? If you want part of a website to be edited by other than admin, you can use an ibay, with appropriate group access.

when I used it this is what I got back

chmod: invalid mode string: 0040755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0041755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0040755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0100755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0040755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0100755'
chmod: invalid mode string: 0040700'

the reason I used chmod was because I installed a cms site from http://www.etomite.org/ and this put new dirs which needed to changed.


wow thats really caused me problems ! I cant get into server-manager at all now.

help please
