I am running SME 5.5. How do I get around the Server Console when I log on via Putty? I am trying to get to a command prompt so that I can install some rpm's. When I try to log on via Putty from "user1" or "root" I get the following message:
Standard user login services have been disabled.
Type "end" and press ENTER to terminate this connection
I followed Cyrus's directions and downloaded and installed devinfo-mitel-update-system-0.0.1-12.noarch.rpm. Then I installed the following from the Update System it created or whatever in the following order:
apache-1.3.22-6es1.i386.rpm
dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-5.noarch.rpm
dmc-mitel-rpmmanager-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
dmc-mitel-servermanager-navigation-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm
dmc-mitel-webconsole-0.0.1-5.noarch.rpm
e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-06.noarch.rpm
SMEServer-5.5_Update2-10.noarch.rpm
None of the links that these files create in Server-Manager are not there for some reason. The Update System link or whatever it's called (I don't remember) was the only think that was there untill I installed my last rpm package. Is there a certain order that these packages shoule be installed?
I tried reinstalling devinfo-mitel-update-system-0.0.1-12.noarch.rpm to see if it would fix things but it say's it's already installed.
And another thing is when I open Server-Manger Internet Explorer says "This page cannot be found" but yet I can see the links in the left hand column. Obviously I broke something...:-)
I know I can always reinstall SME to fix it but I know this will happen again because it happened a few days ago. I thought I did something wrong and I did a fresh reinstall today and after installing the rpm's I listed above it did the same thing again. And that's not fun...:-)
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you problem was the update. You have to do a certain signal after updating and then reboot, but theres a certain way to do it, gimmie a sec
README file in Update 2 directory:
SME Server 5.5 Update 2
-----------------------
The files in this directory are included in the ServiceLink 5.5 Update
3 Blade.
Installation
------------
To install the update packages, please copy all of the files from the
RPMS subirectory into a new directory on the server and then apply them
as a group:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Then initiate a post-upgrade event followed by a system reboot
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
I think that might help a bit, you'll need to login as root to get the command prompt and try those commands and see what happens :-)
