Title: external IP not showing correctly in server-manager
Post by: rmoria on June 19, 2015, 05:19:34 PM

Last night I had an external IP adres change.

When I check my external ip adres in server-manager I see my old IP adres. When I run ifconfig in a terminal I get my new IP adres. What can I do to sync / troubleshoot

(sme 8.1, up to date)

if you're using a fixed ip, you'd login as admin in console and run "configure this server", then reboot

DON'T use ifconfig, or your changes will be lost

moreover, please read carefully the documentation: you'd learn how SME differs from other linux distro

No fixed IP. It's on DHCP.
I only use ifconfig to check. I have a site running that I can visit from my local network (domain is set to look-up-local) but from the outside I couldn't reach. That was my hint that my external IP had changed.

What template runs when the external IP changes?

if you get a new IP it should be reflected in server-manager.. sounds like a bug to me..
please open a bug in bugzilla, you will asked for info and steered in the right direction.

once you've done, please report here the reference to the bug, thank you

Wild and quick guess, could this be related? http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8896
