Post by: eddiechen on August 26, 2008, 06:34:27 AM: now my sme server is server only, the ip address is 192.168.1.100,

just becase I want to use pptp contact the sme server, I found if the client the network segment is 192.168.1, can not contact.

Post by: Frank VB on August 26, 2008, 09:26:03 AM: You're looking in the wrong chapter. Take a look in http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter6#The_Server_Console (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter6#The_Server_Console).

More specifically, you need to select option 2 in the server console. Go through all the screens, leave everything as it is, except for the local IP adress and/or network segment (whatever you need to adjust). Don't forget to use option 4 after you've changed the relevant settings (reconfigure and reboot your server).

When logged in as root: "su admin" will do.

If logged in as root the preferred way would be to type at command line:

console

Hmmm, I would have expected that running console was something for the admin user.
No problems to be expected with permissions on files in /home/e-smith/db ?
Permissions now are:

[root@smeserver7 db]# pwd; ls -la /home/e-smith/db total 188 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 26 04:04 . drwxr-xr-x 10 admin admin 4096 Aug 12 21:08 .. -rw-r----- 1 root admin 3443 Aug 14 20:33 accounts -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 0 Jun 14 15:01 backups -rw-r----- 1 root admin 8811 Aug 17 10:56 configuration -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 1 Aug 6 13:51 confusbdisks -rw-r----- 1 root admin 355 Aug 12 16:58 domains -rw-r----- 1 root admin 236 Aug 12 21:45 fetchmail_temp.db -rw-r----- 1 root admin 687 Aug 10 00:51 hosts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 6 14:05 ldap -rw-r----- 1 root admin 3098 Aug 12 21:08 mailpatterns drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Mar 30 09:13 mysql drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 12 16:59 navigation -rw-r----- 1 root admin 299 Aug 12 16:58 networks -rw-r----- 1 root admin 0 Mar 30 09:22 portforward_tcp -rw-r----- 1 root admin 0 Mar 30 09:22 portforward_udp -rw-r----- 1 root admin 271 Aug 12 16:58 spamassassin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77459 Aug 26 04:04 yum_available -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33932 Aug 26 04:04 yum_installed -rw-r----- 1 root admin 3493 Aug 12 16:58 yum_repositories -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 70 Aug 26 04:04 yum_updates
