Title: Cannot access server manager out of the blue HELP!!!!
Post by: Matt on June 13, 2007, 11:26:21 AM

Hi

I came into the office this morning and found that I cannot access tye server manager at all, I just get an internal server error displayed on the browser.  

Also when I try and send emails I also get this error message,



when I restarted the server it took an absolute age to restart and seemed to hang for ages when starting the network.

An error occured sending mail: Unable to connect to SMTP server.  The server may be down or may be incorrectly configured.

Could someone tell me how to access to the server log files from the command line please???

I had a server from a client that behaved the same way.
As i recall it had something to do with certificates.
That were faulty generated after a year of doin the job...

Dit you update everything with yum?

And then signal-event post-upgrade and signal event-reboot

The only think I can think was I just did un update with yum last week via the sever manager control panel.

Sorry I am not that techie so could you explain And then signal-event post-upgrade and signal event-reboot to me

Use putty (google for it) and enable ssh and allow connection with normal password (or something like that) in server-manager pannel (under remote i think).
Then you'll have to enter your server's ip and login as root and enter your password (in putty).
This will get you to console where you're supposed to type those commands in.

I hope that you understand (i'm not at my server and can't check exactly... sorry).

bpivk rofl :D he can't access the server manager.

Go to the physical machine and login as root.

Type "signal-event post-upgrade"
w8 till its finished.
Type "signal-event reboot"
w8 till the server reboots.

And go to https://<ip of the server>/server-manager

He needs the server-manager panel to enable ssh if it isnt enabled.
