[BlueOnyx:13778] Re: WEB Alias problems

[Chris Gebhardt - VIRTBIZ Internet]

Hi Tom,

My gosh... this certainly sounds like you have a lot of issues right 
now.   Have you checked with your provider for some support/help on 
this?   It may be a bit more involved than the list is going to be able 
to walk you through.   But here's a best attempt.

This could be an issue with how CMU worked for you (especially depending 
on differences between versions... old BlueQuartz boxes may have had 
very old versioning, and of course it has been impossible to YUM them 
for quite some time now.

What you may wish to try is from the BlueOnyx GUI, click to edit the 
site that is giving you a problem.   In the Services > Web settings, 
remove anything that is in the Web Server Aliases field, click Save, 
then after it is done saving, put the content that should be in Web 
Server Aliases back, click Save again.

After clearing out your browser cache, try pulling up with just the 
domain again and it should work.

I'm unclear on this.   Is the IP address for the mail. hostname assigned 
to your server?   What kinds of errors are you getting?   Can you be 
more specific?

That's not necessarily an indicator the RBLs are not working - just that 
the email that's hitting your box isn't coming from blacklisted IPs.

This is a duplicated issue.  You can reach your Mailman interface at 
http://yourhostname/mailman/admin

 From the CLI, have you done a "service cced.init restart"?

There have been reports under all versions of BlueOnyx that the Server 
Management > System Settings > TCP/IP page is flawed.   If you need to 
reset the main IP on the server, I advise to use the CLI script at 
/root/network_settings.sh

That's something I've never encountered.   Have you changed NICs since 
installing BlueOnyx?


> 5.Under WEB Applications, Test MySQL Credentials fails no matter what I do

Do you mean under Server Management > Network Services > MySQL?   Have 
you changed the password for MySQL root user?   If so, be sure to put it 
in correctly.   You may need to use the Change Password tab.   If you 
have imported the MySQL full dump from the old box, that may have 
changed your root password to whatever it was on the old box.   Try 
restarting MySQL and then ensuring your correct password is in the GUI 
config.    If all else fails, do a manual reset via CLI of the MySQL 
root password.

Can you be more specific?   I've not seen the “you’re not doing this 
right” message.    VIRTBIZ was the first application for the BlueOnyx 
API and we have been successfully using it on our 5108R systems.   What 
exactly is happening that is causing you to see an error?

It looks to me like this is related to #4 above.  I suspect you have 
changed your NIC configuration somehow.   You may need to remove the NIC 
configs (hw addresses) from udev and then reload udev (or reboot).

It doesn't look to me like the GUI is borked, but maybe just a bit of a 
miscommunication between system and user.   Again, if you're having a 
great deal of trouble, hopefully you have a provider that is proficient 
with BlueOnyx and can help you out of a jam.  If not, like I say, I'm 
sure we'll do our best here for you.
