Hi,
i've a white blank page when i restore selective files from the manager.
CIFS share. Backup ok.
How can i repair that issue ?
Thanks.
-
well, you'd try to understand what's wrong before fix it :-)
take a look at the logs
-
Yes of course, where can i find the logs for that ?
-
start from /var/log/messages
-
Nothing special in var/log/messages (DHCPREQUEST etc ...)
-
not resolved :)
-
Next look at logs in /var/logs/httpd
Also, in messages look for anything just after your restore action
-
Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/backup
:-x
-
You could try setting the timeout to a higher figure and see what happens:
To check, edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and look for the line:
Timeout 300
Increase this value (say 3000) and restart apache:
sv t /service/httpd-e-smith
This is from an old sme8 bug..
-
without template ?
-
Not a permanent change, just a test, hence increase value and restart service.
-
same problem with timeout 3000 and 8000 :)
-
OK - go back to basics please - don't be economical with information. Proper log extracts, commands used etc etc.
Remember - we cannot see you screen or your logs etc. You have an issue and are asking for help so don't make your own assumptions about what is working or not - just post the full information as requested and let others decide for you (which is what you want)
So tell us about:
Hardware
VM or bare metal install
SME version
Thanks
-
I'd add
network speed
data amount

of course :

Network speed about 10/100 mb/s (disk over ethernet)
Data about 150 Go

You really better answer all our questions. They are important.
PLEASE do as we ask.... it stops wasting peoples time and helps us get to the root of your issue quicker.
-
what have i to add for your information ?
-
Hardware
VM or bare metal install
SME version
-
10/100 mbit? Really? Rotfl
-
That is a SME Server 9.2 on Hyperv VM (Windows 2012 Server) - Ram 8 Gb
-
how much ram?
come on.. be verbose..
in any case, if you need to restore files and/or dir, try to use the dar command line (see https://wiki.contribs.org/Backup_with_dar#Manually_restoring_from_dar_archive_created_by_e-smith-backup)
-
If you do you maths then you'll start to see the issues
100Mb (MegaBit) network (and I assume you are running 100 and not 10) allows about 12MBs (MegaBytes) per second.
120GB *1024 = 122880 MBs
122880 / 12 = 10240 seconds / 60 = 170 minutes / 60 = 2 hrs 50 mins
Using Gigabit at say 120Mb it would be about 17 mins (around 1020 seconds)
You might start to understand where your problems lie.....

He did mention it in his previous post :-)

Bearing in mind my calculations I think that will be his best option. Unless he seriously ups the timeouts in httpd.

NEIN! :-)
he amended the post, after I asked for ;-)

I never use server-manager to restore my files, 'cause it's prone to errors and timeouts..
CLI is the way
my 2c

Many thanks, i will try with command to restore selective files (deleted files of my users)

In all seriousness upgrade to Gigabit ASAP and save yourself a world of pain. You can pick up decent secondhand switches for pennies these days so there is no barrier to upgrading. You may notice a small difference on your network....
-
john, first of al I apologize... I didn't want to be unpolite but I re-read myself and I feel I was.
anyway, next time you report here an issue, you must remember we aren't there and so you have to be very verbose..
-
I would like to upgrade on gigabit (futhermore with 230 computers and 800 users). My school is studying the costs for that.
Stefano, no problem, I understand than the more precise I am, the better it is for everyone. I normally learned that with Jp Pialasse but I'm stubborn :) :) :)
