Koozali SME Server 10.x / Re: Apache systemd[1]: httpd.service failed

« Last post by isotropic on July 30, 2025, 05:29:49 AM »

Update: Instead of installing two disks in raid 1, I preferred to reinstall SME Server on the raid 1 disks. Much easier. Safer. Less invasive.
Awesome!!!

Koozali SME Server 10.x / Re: Apache systemd[1]: httpd.service failed

« Last post by isotropic on July 30, 2025, 03:38:09 AM »

Hello, ReetP, good evening.
ReetP, unfortunately, I gave the impression that I was modifying the SME Server's internals. But I'm not. First, because I don't have much knowledge of Linux. Second, because SME already has everything the user needs.
I needed to install two things via code: Java and Tomcat. Additionally, I'm going to add two RAID 1 hard drives and install BackupPC. And always using the 'how-to' instructions. That's all. Please believe that I don't want complications. I like SME for its simplicity.
Big hug.

Koozali SME Server 10.x / Re: Apache systemd[1]: httpd.service failed

But I can't find the folders I usually use.
Can someone help me find the DocumentRoot folder and the configuration files?

Please don't just go hacking wildly at config files - you will break things. Koozali SME server uses events, actions and templates to generate files auto,magically for you.

You will see this a lot - it is there for a good reason:

Code: [Select]

Note the warning here:

Look in /etc/e-smith for more.

Also please have a longer read of the manual where it explains ibays etc.

https://wiki.koozali.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter14

You might want to look at the this contrib as well

https://wiki.koozali.org/Webhosting

If you want to use custom folders/directories then you are going to have to start hacking about with httpd templates and I don't recommend you do that right now. Keep it simple and use an ibay.

Thank you again

Koozali SME Server 11.x / Re: Password policy is a puzzle on SME SErver 11 beta

« Last post by Jean-Philippe Pialasse on July 28, 2025, 11:28:15 AM »

as per https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12991

Password rules:
none:           Minimum length only.
normal:         Minimum length, at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.
intermediate:   Minimum length, at least one uppercase, one lowercase letter, and one number.
strong:         Minimum length, at least one uppercase, one lowercase letter, one number, one special character, and dictionary check.

pasword minimal length could be set, default is 12.

we removed the initial obligation for specific characters. it does not help that mich in bruteforce and limit ability for user to remember the password, which reduce the strength of it. 

see https://www.hivesystems.com/blog/are-your-passwords-in-the-green

if using lowercase only this is good for years.  of course if you use digits only, way less efficient.

Koozali SME Server 10.x / Re: Smeserver-mysql update

« Last post by Jean-Philippe Pialasse on July 28, 2025, 11:17:21 AM »

if migrating to sme11 without this update on your sme10, you will miss your mysql users manually added in the mysql.users table. 

This is because mysql.users is a view in newer mariadb servers.
