Title: All of a sudden, all access denied?
Post by: bldgfac on May 27, 2009, 03:13:58 PM

Hello,

I have a problem and looking for some help. Today I came into work and find that my email is no longer working. I wait and wait for any incoming mail and then it times out. Then I try and access my ibay and keep getting a error message saying 'G:\XXXX is not accessible'.

It's also erratic in the sense that it sometimes (rarely) lets me access random folders, just to get the error in a sub folder. If I go back and try to get back into the same folder, i'll get the error.

I would appreciate any help in solving this problem. Thanks!

*edit* FYI, i'm logged in as admin. There is a second computer having the same problem.

Matt

Matt

you are logged as user admin in windows.. what about connecting as root in ssh and check what's going on?
what about checking logs in server-manager panel?

Stefeno, thanks for your response. I am able to connect as root in ssh no problem. This is specifically a windows issue.

I can try looking at logs, although i'll admit, I don't know where to begin!

you wrote you have problems with mail too, don't you?

can you tell us what's the history of your server? SME version? is it up to date?
did you try to reboot your windows machines?

Yes, i'll see if I can find any email logs..

I am running SME Server 7.4... installed about 10 months ago. Up until yesterday it required about 20 updates, I just haven't gotten around to installing them. But they're only a month or so old...    IF I login to server manager today and check for updates, it says i'm up to date..... weird.

I've rebooted the server and my pc... no luck

This is one error im getting in my httpd/error_log

Code: [Select]

[Wed May 27 09:42:56 2009] [error] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Cannot store SSL session to DBM file `/etc/httpd/state/ssl_scache'

Does that look like it could be something?

Is there anyway I can back up my SQL databases other than remotely? I can't access phpyadmin, keep getting access denied. I'd like to backup my data before I lose anything....

Yes, login as root and execute the following:

Code: [Select]

mysqldump --all-databases --opt > /tmp/mysql.sql
The dump file created should make it possible for you to restore the databases later on using this:

Code: [Select]

mysql < /tmp/mysql.sql
